If you like to dry camp, you might want two try the Big Horn Dam area. It's at the east end of Abraham Lake. Stayed there for 2 and a half weeks this past summer. Try to get in there in the middle of the week as it's very popular for dry camping and ATV riding. Nothing there but trees, the lake and Nellie the black bear. If you want it, you bring it. You can dump in Nordegg which you pass on the way to Saskatchewan Crossing.
And if you want to camp in among the mountains, continue west on the highway beside Abraham Lake to the end. A boon docking area on the left side of the highway called Preachers Point overlooking the lake and the North Sakatchewan River that flows into the lake. About 32 KM from the Big Horn Dam turnoff.
