I don't believe there should be dogs aloud to run around in the park freely! I have cats that I'd love to let out on a leave or in there pen, but I can't do that because of all the dogs running lose. I was told by the camp host that it's not her responsibility if my cats get hurt by the dogs running lose in the park.....um excuse me?!?!? I PAID TO CAMP HERE!!! You're supposed to have rules, how about enforce them so it's an enjoyable stay for everyone!!! If a dog comes in my campsite, I'm not responsible what will happen (sound childish?). Be responsible park keepers! Thanks!

Overall the wife and I had a good experience. We got in pretty late (10:15ish) but didn’t receive any knowledge of bathroom codes or access via email or anywhere so we were using the outhouses till someone told us about them. The area is exposed so wind and rain can get you if you’re tenting. The camp manager greeted us as we were packing up our last morning and gave us a few dollars back which we appreciated. Overall, few complaints, and largely had a good time.

Such a beautiful place to stay. Washrooms were clean and fresh smelling. The Camp host Ted was so nice. Best sleep ever. Would be a great place to stay anytime.

Beautiful place, very clean, even the grass. The bathrooms are really really clean! Quite with excellent space in the sites. Splash playground is excellent. I recommend this campground. I missed just one thing, laundry but it is ok.

The Park is right in the town of Claresholm AB. There are a variety of site sizes and layouts, ranging from being out in the open to being covered in by trees. You Park on gravel and the Sites have nice, well developed grass areas elsewhere on each site. The sites have 30 Amp power but no sewer or water. The Park is well maintained, including the washrooms and the roads. You are walking distance to Main Street and the local grocery store.
