Where Prey Filmed Near Calgary
Prey filmed outdoors on Stoney Nakoda Nation land in Alberta. Parts of that landscape sit inside Stoney Park Campgrounds, about an hour west of Calgary. If you want the open grassland, tree cover, and river edge that show up through the film, this guide points you to the sections that match them best.
Why the land worked for the film
The production needed open ground, tree cover, and long sightlines. Stoney Park has all three. The Bow River runs along the south edge, the foothills sit to the west, and the campground moves between prairie, treed sections, and exposed ridges.
The crew did not need to hide a dense built-up campground. The land already had the shape they needed.
Sections that feel closest to the film
Section F: Best for the open grassland look. These sites sit high above the Bow River with broad views and very little cover.
Section A: Another good pick for open country and big mountain views.
Section C: Best fit for the darker treed feel in the tracking scenes. It has more shade and a tighter canopy.
Section D: Choose this section if you need power for an RV. It does not match the film's look as closely, but it is the practical option for hookups.
Guests usually start with Section F if they want the wide, exposed feel from the film.

The land behind the movie
Prey tells a Comanche story and the production worked with Comanche cultural advisors during the film. The land used for filming belongs to the Stoney Nakoda Nation. Those are different nations with different histories, and the film only used this place as location ground.
Stoney Park itself is an Indigenous-owned campground run by a Stoney Nakoda family.
Cost and access
Stoney Park sits outside the provincial park system. You do not need a Kananaskis Conservation Pass.
That matters if you compare it with campgrounds in Kananaskis Country. Those trips add the site fee and the pass. At Stoney Park, the booking price is the full price.
Getting there
Stoney Park is about an hour west of Calgary on Highway 1. Take the Morley exit to Highway 1A and follow the signs to the campground.
You can find the map and coordinates on the Stoney Park website.
