Great campground with beautiful views. Camping center was clean and warm and the showers were great. Quiet staffed hours over Christmas but it was fine with us. There is a great cross-country ski trail network through this area. Edit: I did not mention that I had lost my wedding ring here, but the lovely staff are going out of their way to get it back to me.

Incredible mountain views with nice treed campsites, some more private than others. They have a coffee shop that serves specialty coffees along with ice cream and some light lunches and a gift shop. Laundry, showers and a kids water park all available at the park office. It's a good idea to reserve early if you need a spot with power. Close to Kannanaskis Village and all sorts of hiking trails.

Great Campsites! Family and friends enjoyed the time here. Full Hook ups. Clean washrooms. Very private and fully trees sites. Full cellphone service. 5G 3 bars max. Do recommend to upgrade their website reservations portal to be more user friendly. Also need to update the 1980s camp centre washrooms.

This is a wonderful, well managed facility. I have to emphasize how clean it is. From the sites themselves to the bathrooms and showers. It's a great place for ALL campers. The playgrounds, the wading pool, tennis courts and Campers centre are all great. The kids really loved the evening show at the amphitheatre.

What a fantastic park. The sites are large and offer a decent degree of privacy compared to most RV parks where rigs are stacked as close together as possible. The grounds are very well maintained and properly labeled. The facility operators are knowledgeable, helpful and very responsive. The bathroom and shower facilities are spotless. Our only regret is that we didn't plan more days here.
