(Red Deer, Alberta) – The Lions Campground is open for the 2009 tourism season. Located along the Red Deer River close to trails and amenities, the Lions Campground is one of Red Deer’s local gems.

“We are pleased to be able to provide a quality camping experience in our community, “said Deb Comfort, Neighbourhood Facilities & Community Development Supervisor. “We anticipate another busy summer with the possibility of an increase in the number of people choosing to stay close to home.”

In order to accommodate all campers, The City has implemented at Lions Campground a two-week maximum stay, which will be strictly enforced for the months of July and August.

“As more tourists visit Red Deer, we want to accommodate those traveling through the area,” said Comfort. “We want everyone to be able to benefit from our facilities.”
