Conveniently located between Banff NP and Kanaskis Conservation area this campground is a perfect base for outdoors adventures! Our camp host Laura was the most generous, kind and helpful person, suggesting places to visit and ensuring we were comfortable during our stay. It’s evident she cares about the location, keeping ammenities clean and modern. Highly recommended!

The location is good, close to Canmore. But nearby the highway, noises all day long. The staff is not very nice, trading people differently, rude. Do not know why the park hire them? We came to the campground without water, asking the male staff where can we filling up the water, he allowed us to use the hose by the washroom, after few minutes, the female staff came, ask us to leave and shut off the water. Saying that this campground does not provide water;however,around 8:30pm, she just let other people to fill up the water! In front of me. Feel so awful!

We stayed for one night and loved it here. By chance, in my opinion, we got the best spot available. We stayed in number 24, which had an amazing view of the water and some privacy with the trees around us. We also got some firewood from the staff, who were really friendly. There was some road noise, so if you are a light sleeper it might not be the best campground to stay, but if you can deal with that I would definitely recommend

Listen, Canmore is beautiful. There is no doubt. The campground is nice BUT there were 2 things that I struggled with: 1. The tenting site we were in has a weird gravel/pave floor. Putting the tent's stake pegs all the way down was impossible. You NEED a hammer (our fault not to bring one). BUT at least it is nicely flat and no mud during rain. So, if you have some blankets underneath, it is fine. 2. This is what really made my nights uncomfortable: you are a few trees away from the highway. All the time you are listening to cars passing by. The sounds of nature were muted. If you are being kids, there are no playgrounds in the area. Also, you need a car to move to any hiking paths.

Nice, easily accessible campground. This campground actually surprised me. Sites were nice and big with enough trees and bushes in-between to be pretty private. Right next to the river with a couple of spots you can go hangout next to it if you didn't book your spot right next to the river. Super close to town - being a 7min drive. My biggest complaint is the noise from the highway but that's to be expected with a campground being right next to it.. !
