Clean, good service, very nice staff, only downside was she wouldn’t serve ice cream near close but we don’t blame her.

I was here 20 years ago and the store hasn't changed abit. I personally loved it, however the campground has aged and maintenance is bare minimum. But if you are looking to stay next to the beautiful clearwater river, this is the place to be. Overall staff were great, ice cream scoops are really the largest in the west and bundles of campfire wood are reasonably priced

Been camping here now for a couple weeks. It is absolutely beautiful. Staff is extremely friendly and useful with helping out with any questions I have. It is just awesome for walking my dog on the quad trails. The little store is great with fantastic ice-cream. The highway is busy but seemed to disappear after I got used to it.

What a terrible experience! After my house burnt down I bought a truck and trailer then decided to winter camp for the season. I found the campground and with power the site was $500/month. I paid my rent for Nov and Dec. Then on Dec. 10/24 the owner came being very ignorant and started accusing me of things that were not true! Then kicked me out two weeks before Xmas knowing I had no place to go. In Alberta we get below freezing temperatures and with no power I might freeze. He did not give any of my money back and told me if I wasn’t out by the 13th at 11 am . He would tow me out himself! He was mean and unprofessional !
