Fantastic facility for a large gathering both indoors and outdoors. We camp here almost every Oct long weekend and had a large group for dinner and rented the Chalet and Gazebo! Both facilities were extremely clean and the staff is wonderful to deal with! We will be back again!

Campsites are so close together and zero privacy. We could talk to 2 other sites from our picnic table without raising our voice. You can hear everyone. Our site is also so small it wouldn't fit a vehicle and a tent but they rented it to us knowing we had a truck camper. It's also in direct flight path of the airport so we could hear the planes at night. It's a pity, because it's a beautiful piece of land but sites are just crammed together.

What a hidden gem! Been in spruce/Stony for 20 years and didn't know this was here. Great location right by the river, beautiful walkway beside it and the campsites are massive and can share huge green space in between. Great for large families to get together. I think I counted 3 playgrounds and a very clean/large bathroom with showers. We will definitely be back. Be on the ball, they book up fast!! Cheers!

Just a beautiful hidden gem on the North Saskatchewan River only 20 minutes outside of Edmonton. There is a huge variety in their sites, from tucked-away tent sites to full service RV sites. Kara and her staff at the office are always friendly, informed and willing to go the extra mile if you need help with anything. We rented the Chalet for our anniversary party and were pleased with how well equipped the facility is. You can rent the open air Gazebo too. I highly recommend this get-away spot for campers and RVers alike.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – My Favourite Campground Year After Year! I have been coming to Devon Campground every single year, and I can honestly say it has become one of my favourite places to escape, relax, and recharge. No matter the season or the weather, there is always something special about this place that keeps me coming back. One of the biggest reasons I return year after year is the wonderful staff. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted with warm smiles and genuine kindness. The team here is not just friendly – they are truly amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels welcome and comfortable. Whether it’s helping with directions, answering questions about the local area, or just stopping for a friendly chat, they make you feel like part of a family. The campground itself is well-maintained, peaceful, and surrounded by beautiful nature. The sites are spacious, clean, and well-marked, making it easy to set up and settle in. There are great walking trails nearby, lovely spots to sit and enjoy the river, and plenty of open space for kids and pets to run around safely. Over the years, I have stayed in many campgrounds, but Devon Campground has a special charm that others simply don’t have. The atmosphere here is always positive, relaxed, and welcoming. You can tell that the staff truly care about the place and about the people who visit. I recommend Devon Campground to everyone – families, couples, solo travellers – anyone looking for a place to connect with nature and feel genuinely cared for. I am already looking forward to my next visit, and I know that when I arrive, I’ll be greeted with the same kindness and smiles that have made me fall in love with this place year after year. Thank you to the whole team for making every stay unforgettable. You are absolutely wonderful, and I can’t wait to come back again! Best regards, MONIKA K. ! 😇😇
