Not sure what info you looking for.
I googled:
The Campers guide to alberta parks.pdf
I have picked up this booklet at smaller registries in the past few years. Very good info for camping.

Most folk learn as they go. Some things you always need and others are just nice to have. Can't help you with a guide as I learnt by doing.

It's one hundred years old...but is considered a timeless classic that still has great info. Read it, absorb it...and then others here have said, just get out and do it.

Brings me back to when my wife and I went on our first camping trip when we were just starting out.
A tent, and a cooler for drinks, and a kerosene lantern. And we stopped at value village on our way out and bought a pot to boil water in for instant coffee.
That was more than enough equipment to camp in a provincial park.

Go to https://reserve.albertaparks.ca
Choose bigger camp site close to your place. Reserve your time (you can start from 1-2 nights). Take a tent, sleeping bag and pad, axe, lighter, cooler with food and beverage, water jug, flashlight and you will be fine. You may also want portable butane stove, pot, sort of disposable dishes, knife and fire starter. They usually sold fire wood at the site entrance.
Just start doing that and you can easily figure out what else you want to bring with you.
