Spruce Point Resort (CLOSED FOR 2023 SEASON)
Open for Band Members Only
Beaver Lake Cree Nation owns and operates a 142–site seasonal campground situated on the shores of picturesque Beaver Lake. Natural sand beaches, plentiful poplar trees, and bountiful fish make Spruce Point a favoured destination for local, regional, and international outdoor enthusiasts. Located six kilometres south of Lac La Biche in Lakeland County, a well-known mecca in north eastern Alberta for nature devotees, Spruce Point Resort and Campground hosts picnics and other outdoor functions throughout the summer.
Spruce Point offers both power and non-power stalls, as well as a day use area and playground, and is ideal for families who have travelled to the area to attend the many local events including Beaver Lake Cree Nation’s annual Pow Wow, the Kikino Rodeo, the Lac La Biche Pow Wow Days, the annual Agricultural fair and more. A convenience store and gas pumps are located nearby.
Spruce Point Resort (SPR) has put a number of measures in place as part of Alberta’s safely staged COVID-19 relaunch. During this time SPR is only offering camping and day use to our nation members. This includes both on and off reserve members. Camping occupancy is currently limited to 50 per cent (50%) capacity. Reduced capacity helps to ensure that SPR is respecting current physical distancing requirements.
