A Hidden Gem! Fox Lake Campground is beautiful, well managed and friendly retreat, with views that will astonish! The site manager is kind, informative and very welcoming; additionally, the services are excellent. I’d highly recommend you check it out! And if you happen to be a photography lover, you’ll thrive in the inspirational environment. We will be returning soon!

Beautiful, peaceful, a lovely escape from city life without being too far from town and Calgary. It’s got lots of stuff for the kids to do, including 2 parks, walking path to town and cute little ponds. It’s full service for RV’s with still lots of room for tents and tent trailers, IMPECCABLY clean washrooms and showers. This campground has it all! The campground manager was well loved by myself and my kids and we have been enjoying coming here for years and will continue to come for many more years.

While this isn't like a destination campground (mostly used for stops along the way or people staying the summer to work) this little campground offers a lot! First of all the manager is so lovely, and helpful. She pulled out a bag of newly thrifted toys for my sons to use at the playground, a really nice extra touch. The sites are decent size, the showers are super clean, there are multiple playgrounds (the main ones in the middle of the big loop so your kids can play) and the property is clean and well maintained, and its very quiet. Also, the $/stick firewood price is better here then in the provincial parks. The view of the lake is great too. If you're looking for a short stop travelling through Hanna this is definitely the best choice.
