Stayed in D58. It was a nice spot but pretty high up if you plan take the trail to the river. Close washrooms and pretty quiet place after 11pm. Lots of RV'S. 5min drive to Elbow Falls.

This is one of my favourite campgrounds close to Calgary! With a 40 minute drive, it is easy to get to but also totally worth it! Lots of hiking trails, it’s right by the elbow river, and there are many water pumps around camp.

Beautiful!!! 5 min drive to hot water showers. Quiet, peaceful, 3 min walk to river. Smell of roses and wonderful caretaker welcome you! First come, first serve, self check-in process.

One of the better first come-first serve campgrounds I've visited around Alberta and Saskatchewan. Close proximity to Calgary (40 min) with easy access to plenty of hiking trails. Don't expect it to have high mountain peaks like Banff/Canmore as it's just before the mountain range starts, but great views nonetheless and much less crowded. Only downside is no free firewood available (bring your own or you can purchase for a ridiculous price). Backs right onto the Elbow river.

Its a little further to the river here than at Beaver Flats but still nice big sites and a good distance apart
