Crooked Creek Campground

This campground is very nice and close to Waterton. However, the washrooms need some work. The water is squirting from all sides, and the floors are wet and dirty. Additionally, quiet time needs to be reinforced because people were loud and annoying after 11 p.m. Despite these issues, I would definitely book again because the location and actual tent sites are good.

Booked this last minute and was unaware that our campground was in a farmers field directly off the highway and our campsite was a walk in which we were provided a wagon to use and haul our camping gear into our site. Luckily, we didn't bring our truck tent, or we would have been completely screwed. We were in a new growth small tree'd area with a very shallow creek that ran alongside our campsite. We were provided a bear safe cache across the path from our campsite which was in the direct sunlight from sunrise to sunset. The first night we stayed the flushable, portable toilets we're out of order. The outhouse's were a further distance and were subpar. On the website, it stated that their water was potable. However, it was discolored and my husband who's a plumber refused to drink it. It was the same colour as apple juice. The campground store closed at 8pm, which made it completely impossible to buy wood or any other items if you spent the day touring, hiking or on any other adventures. The wood was oddly amazing. If you are looking for a kid friendly campground, this would not be the camp ground for you. There is nothing for kids to do at this campground. The campsite had a beautiful view of the mountains that you woke up to. It was nicely graveled, very clean site, and the idea of this campground is really great. It just needs ten to twenty years to mature. Staff were friendly.

My partner and I tented at Crooked Creek Campground for 8 nights between August 22-30, 2025 while spending the days hiking and exploring nearby Waterton Lakes National Park. We stayed in site 107, which is one of the tenting sites you can park in. There are also walk-in tenting sites along a wood chip path, with two parking areas for cars. The campground has a large area near the highway for RVs and roofed campers. I liked that the tenting area was the furthest from the highway so you couldn’t hear the road noise. I really liked our site. It was surrounded by trees and brush and unfortunately didn’t have a mountain view directly from the site; however, the campground itself had lovely views of the mountains from other areas. The site felt pretty private and we couldn’t see the sites around us, but could hear people talking in the walk-in site behind us sometimes. I appreciated that the site had a fire pit, as the campground in Waterton National Park townsite does not have fire pits. We ended up only having a fire one evening though as there were always things to do in the area! Directly outside of our site was two modern outhouse washrooms with flush toilets and a small sink and soap inside. There was also a tap with potable water, bear proof garbage bins, and outlets for charging stuff if needed. I loved hearing lots of different birds from our campsite (the gray catbird seemed to be the most common). We also saw a beaver in the creek behind our site, saw bats flying around after dark, and often heard cows mooing from the nearby ranches or coyotes howling at night. Lots of wildlife around! A small creek flowed through the campground (hence the name) and there were a couple of foot bridges crossing it. The campground office had a small store inside with some food and camping items, as well as, firewood ($15 a bundle). There is one shower building for the entire campground with only two stalls for women and two for men. It’s located in the RV section and a short walk for tenters. The water pressure in the showers was basically a trickle most of the time. The water temperature fluctuated between hot and cool and you couldn’t control the temp at all. You also had to keep pressing the button every 20 seconds or so for the water to keep running, which was a bit annoying. The only time the water pressure was good, was if you were the only person using the showers. There were hooks to hang clothes and towels outside the shower which was appreciated. In the same building as the showers, there was a laundry room with coin operated machines ($4 for a wash and $4 for dry) and an enclosed space with picnic tables, a wood stove, seating and a small library of used books. The campground also offers free Wi-Fi. I’m really glad I chose to stay at Crooked Creek versus the national park townsite campground, as the sites offer more privacy, it’s only a short drive into the park, it’s the same price as the national park for a basic site, and you can have fires. I had a great experience here overall. Minus one star for the shower facilities, but hopefully this can be improved in the future.

This is my second year staying here. The first year I didn’t really notice anything of concern. This year, I was really disappointed by the bathroom facilities. There was not enough pressure throughout many parts of the day to take a decent shower, nor enough hot water. It was frustrating and disappointing, as there is only one shower facility on site for all tenters and campers to use. Two showers for the women’s side, two for the men’s side. One flush toilet for women, one flush toilet for men, the rest of the bathroom facilities are larger outhouses. I had brought it to the attention of the staff that the shower hose for one of the showers was broken in the women’s washroom and that one of the sinks was plugged. The shower hose got fixed, but the sink remained plugged unfortunately, which meant one of the two sinks for women to use remained out of commission for the 3 nights I stayed here. We had to take turns at times waiting for a sink to use to wash our hands or brush our teeth. The outhouses don’t have sinks in them, so there really are only two running sinks per gender in the entire site, plus a dish washing sink. The campsite itself has a gorgeous mountainous backdrop, and the proximity to Waterton villiage and the US border is fantastic. I was very happy with my stay here last year, this year was disappointing in terms of the bathroom facilities as described above. More cleaning of the main bathroom given that it’s such a high traffic area being the only spot with running toilet/sink/showers for everyone in the park is recommended. Great option to stay at otherwise.

Cordial staff, has a main dump station with 2 spots, 30a electrical and water, common bathrooms and showers. It is a tight fit for a 40’ 5er, address for electronic navigation is difficult to find, however, we saw an address sign pulling in. Location has a great view, it is off a highway that is not very busy, maybe a car or two ever minute. Gravel and grass. If visiting Waterton and you can’t fit or get into the state park, this is a great option. 23029 Crooked Creek Rd Waterton Park, AB 5-stars reserved for the best of the best spots, concrete, location, etc. 4-stars offer location and facilities with above par services. A 3-star review is par for an rv site.
