Quick Overview

Stavely is a small town in southern Alberta's foothills, sitting right on Highway 2 (the old highway) between Claresholm and Nanton, about 90 minutes south of Calgary. It has several dump stations for RVers, with some offering free access. The RV dump station and sani-dump facilities here give travelers on the Highway 2 corridor a convenient service stop without needing to exit the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Highway 2A runs through town parallel to the main QE2). Stavely serves as a practical stop for RVers heading south toward the Crowsnest Pass, Waterton Lakes National Park, or the many campgrounds in the Porcupine Hills and Oldman River valley. The sanitary dump station access is handy for anyone who wants to avoid the busier stops in Claresholm or Nanton. The town is classic southern Alberta ranching country with views of the Rocky Mountain front ranges to the west on clear days. Stavely has held its Wild West Days rodeo for over a century, and the small-town atmosphere is genuine cowboy country through and through.
