About Aspen Ridge Camp

There are no laws prohibiting the use of metal detectors in the public areas of provincial parks as long as the activity isn’t interfering with the enjoyment of the other park visitors, breaking any of our other regulations, or in any way threatening any of the wildlife in the park.

Metal detectors can be used in the province’s parks, provided that:

They are only used on beaches and similar disturbed areas (where digging will not affect the natural ecosystem/habitat). In disturbed areas that are being excavated under a research permit, these areas are closed-off from the public to prevent recreational digging
No historic resources are damaged or removed
No items are removed from the park
All items of value (historical or monetary) are turned over to the local park office
They are used for recreation and not for commercial purposes
Their use doesn’t violate other laws, such as interfering with a person’s quiet enjoyment in the park. People operating metal detectors are encouraged to use an earpiece/headphones to reduce the likelihood of the noise disturbing others.

As in the case of other park users, a person can expect to encounter officers who will inquire about the activities being conducted and require them to identify themselves and their occupation.

In order to dig for historical resources, a person requires an excavation permit issued by the Parks Division under the Historical Resources Act; this permit is associated with archeological or paleontological research permit. In some locations the excavated items are likely to remain in the park for research and storage; in situations where an excavated item is to be removed from the park, a collection permit is required.

G	Guy Rees on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We rented 1 of 6 cabins that are there. 3 are log cabins and 3 resemble a normal residential house. The camp used to be a Boy Scout camp and is now used as rentals for the public. Registration is in town (3-4 km) at the campground where you can buy firewood etc. Each cabin sleeps 8 people; 1 queen Murphy bed, and 3 up/down bunk beds. They have heaters, bar size refrigerator, small deck and fire pit. There is electricity but no bathroom or running water inside. Although the camp is surrounded by trees there is little privacy between cabins. Communal bathrooms are clean and well equipped with showers but approximately 200m from the closest cabin. There is no potable water in camp. The closest drinking water is in town at the campground about 3-4 km away. You also need to bring almost everything including bedding, food, water, firewood, towels and cooking gear. This only was inconvenient since the parking lot is about 150m from the cabins. Bring a cart or dolly if you have lots of stuff, staying for several days, or have kids. Had we been told that you can’t drive up to the cabin to unload, we would have brought a dolly. The camp overlooks the lake but it’s not within walking distance at all! The town is situated on the lake with a beach and all necessities. Bring bikes since there are numerous paths and trails to explore. This is the first year they have been open to the public but we were disappointed with the water availability, inconvenience of hauling gear so far, distance from the lake, and privacy especially at $90/night. Some more information would have gone a long way. Would be a great spot for a large group if you rented all the cabins plus the lodge for an event such as a small wedding or party.
