Black Nugget Lake Park is a great little campground where you can get away from it all and relax in one of our well-treed sites or meet with friends and camp in one of the group sites.

Developed out of a former coal mine, the campground features a long winding lake with waterfront sites at various locations and back-to-nature tenting sites. The campground also has for your convenience a boat launch for non powered boats, picnic shelters/cookhouses,  a sewer dump station, a convenience store.

While at Black Nugget Lake Park, you can enjoy bird watching, boating (non-powered), canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and trout fishing. A playground with sand and a large playing field, volleyball, tetherball and basketball are also available for your enjoyment. Next door is the Champion 18 hole Coal Creek Golf Resort, so don’t forget to pack your clubs.

The concession is located at the entrance to the Campground where you will find flush toilets, showers, firewood and concession items for sale cash/debit/credit.

To provide for better management and visitor satisfaction Beaver County has implemented a policy for Reservations, Cancellations and Refunds.

The policy provides restrictions on over-booking and last minute cancellations resulting in more sites being available for  other campers. The policy also ensures that the reservation holder is responsible for the actions of all-party members. Refunds will not be given for an eviction, vacating a campsite early, or for inclement weather. 

The policy is based on practices which have been used in the past, and is based mainly on the refund policy established for Alberta Provincial Parks campgrounds.

The type, size, number and when the fish are stocked is provided to fish culture for all lakes. Performance of the fishery and engagement of the angling community is part is the area biologist mandate. About 10% of the lakes are managed as a quality trout fishery. Average size of trout stocked is 17cm.

Black Nugget is stocked each year with Rainbow Trout and Tiger Trout, which is a cross between a male brook trout and a female brown trout.
