Older establishment. They seem to be upgrading. The sheets and pillows are old. Shower curtains need replacing , mold on bottom. TV s are very small. They supply coffee,sugar,coffeemaker. They don't supply tea or sweetners. Its seems clean. Cons- is that you are only supplied with one door key. Smoking is all infront of each door. The smell comes right into room from smokers smoking cigarettes and drugs. Very convenient to have restaurant but the prices are a bit high. They could offer a discount if you are staying there.

Do not stay here. Drove in at night. Dirty dusty roads throughout. Grass areas between campers are weeds. Noisy highway. This campground was the most expensive we stayed at travelling from BC to Sask and back and by far the worst. Lovely campground down the highway in Hanna - Fox Valley. To add insult to injury you have to pay for a shower after having paid $68 to stay.

This was a great campsite complete with a variety of full hookups. The location is ideal, close to the bridge, making many services very walkable. It was quiet, easy to get our trailer in and out, typical picnic table, and they deliver burn bins pn request that are attached to lawnmower decks! It was a great place to stay for the Gran Fondo!

We were passing thru the area yesterday towing our travel trailer when we began to have truck problems. The owners of this campground could not have been more helpful in getting us situated to bunk down and get some rest while we got our truck sorted out. Very nice little campground, quiet, family friendly, clean and well located right off the main road. Would highly recommend and will absolutely stay there again when in the area.

We had a wonderful two-night stay in Drumheller, thanks in large part to this fantastic campground! We came all the way from the Netherlands, and this was one of the highlights of our trip through Canada. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The washrooms and showers were spotless, which made our stay even more comfortable. We were lucky enough to be the first guests to try out their brand-new rental bikes — such a great experience! We rode to the Atlas Coal Mine, the Hoodoos, and the fascinating Royal Tyrrell Museum. Renting bikes is definitely worth it if you want to explore the area in a fun and active way. There are also some great restaurants within walking distance, which was a nice bonus. All in all, we had a fantastic time. Thank you for the warm hospitality — we’ll definitely be back! Lisa & Niels
