In-Depth Information
The only camping right in town is at
Marv Moore Campground
(780/827-2404, May-
late Sept., tents $25, powered sites $30), which has semiprivate, well-shaded sites and
showers, kitchen shelters, a laundry, and firewood. It's at the north end of town on Shand

Highway 40; of special note for its scenic location is the one at the south end of
Sulphur

just 10 sites.
Food
On a clear day, the view from the
Family Restaurant
(Grande Cache Hotel, 780/
827-3377, breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, $13-19) is worth at least the price of a coffee.
Soup and sandwich lunch specials are approximately $10, and pizza and pasta dishes start
at $13. At the back of Grande Cache Hotel is
Rockies Bar and Grill
(780/827-3377), with
a regular bar menu and occasional live music. Across the plaza is

ant
(780/827-3898, 11am-10pm daily, $10.50-17). This is your quintessential small-town
Chinese restaurant, with big portions of all the usual westernized Chinese favorites.
