Stayed around Canada Day. It was nice to see the fireworks that were at the Pysanka Park right from the camp site. Showers weren’t bad. Some of the trains can be loud going by, since it’s close to the tracks. Playground close by for the kids.

The campsite is split by a railroad where trains run through at least 3 times per night. Also there are only a couple communal fire pits. The campsites DO NOT have their own fire pits. The only positive is the egg and free showers. Also may get fined if you cross the railroad. Also the check in closes at 8. And you can't get fire wood after 8 either. I recommend that you camp somewhere else

The train came by twice during the night, there is no privacy between sites, but it's an acceptable place to spend the night on a roadtrip.

Great spot to have a day off and a picnic... Just an hour drive from South Edmonton... Recommended during spring /summer time

Ok, whoever’s idea it was to put a campground right up against the train tracks, clearly isn’t overly brite. Once you back in with your trailer, the rear bumper would be about 10 feet from the tracks. This place is terrible, I wouldn’t even consider staying here. It really can’t even be considered a campground, as it’s just a grassy parking area. I’m actually a bit surprised that they promote this thing, and think it’s good. It is now the worst place I’ve ever pulled into. Do yourself a favour and stay at the Innisfree campground that is about 22 minutes east. You won’t be disappointed. And one last thing, whomever is giving this place positive reviews, must be an employee, or townsperson, as I cannot understand how you could consider this place nice.

Basic campground, perfect for a night stay. Clean. Water available when you come into campground. Electricity only available at site. There’s a nice park across tracks with trails and playground. Campground is right next to train tracks so it can get loud and wake you at night with the loud whistles, but a small fan can block the sound

Easy to find and inexpensive. Clean restrooms and showers. Train runs right next to it which can be loud at times.

Camping without all the hassle. The site has a great playground and walking path. Access to flush toilets and showers at the site 24 hours a day. Food trucks were excellent staff were friendly. Walking distance to restaurants and main street. Reasonably priced and easy with little ones.

Nice park for a picnic right near the Pysanka. Kids playground, outdoor gym and a skate park. Lots to do - nice place for a day trip from Edmonton or if the kids just need to get out of the car!

Self registration after hours, arrived at 1am on a Friday night and there were lots of spots left. Powered sites only have 30 amp which didn't work with our trailer. So we paid the non power price which they were fine with. Clean bathrooms with showers. Sites back the train track which wasn't ideal when 3 trains rolled through between 2-5am. Otherwise good place for our one night stop.
