I live close by and have the opportunity to visit daily for our walks. We enjoy the deer and the beautiful trees among the hills. It is always a plus looking up at the T-Rex Dinosaur Discovery Center. The grounds are immaculate and this includes the showers & restrooms. I have had many campers share their positive feedback on the grounds.

A quaint little privately owned small town campsite in the valley. Anne who is the manager of the camp was very helpful and nice in assisting us with our site even when we arrived very late in the evening due to unforeseen delay with our trip. The camp sites along the south side is well shaded with big trees all around. The northern part has little to no shade at all with a baseball diamond for anyone interested in hosting a game. There are men and women washrooms with one flushing toilet and one shower room each on site which was fairly clean so you’ll have to wait for your turn if it’s busy. We camped on site number 10 for two nights and on our last night it was very windy and had to batten down the hatches so nothing would blow away. But that’s Mother Nature.

Campground manager Anne was incredibly helpful and informative about whats happening in Eastend. She was kind in looking out for us and the price is reasonable for excellent facilities. Long 4 min showers and the cleanest bathrooms in Canada!

Very small campground, but beautiful location. The hills and creek around the campground were lovely, and with the proximity to Wallace Stegner’s house it made for a fantastic pit stop on our way from the big city. The campground was also close to the T-Rex discovery center as well as a quick lovely walk through town to the Eastend Convenience Store. We also saw a deer.

Nice campground! This campground is able to accommodate tents to just power and water and up to full service! Well kept and the cleanest washrooms and showers I have seen and I have visited quite a few campgrounds. Emily, who cares for the campground was so welcoming and friendly and provided us with information on the town of Eastend and local attractions . Thank you Emily for making our stay awesome!
