Third time in this campground. I picked this campground knowing they have showers and it's right by the highway. Iwas on a business trip and needed the shower after a long drive and an important appointment in Calgary next day. I will give it 4 starts only, because despite being a sign in the bathroom for the maintance hours (9-10am), I got up early in the morning to avoid the showers being closed. Guess what, at 8:10am they were closed for maintance. I get it, they were doing their job, but it ruined my change to shower before my appoiment. So the main reason I paid for the campground (the showers) i couldn't use and had to stop a random gas station to take a shower in a disgusting bathroom before heading to Calgary. Overall nice campground, just sucks I paid for an ammenity I couldn't use.

I haven’t stayed yet but did drive through and spent time at the day use area. It looks very well maintained and good decent sized sites for how many there are! I’m planning on this place next camping season 100% Day use area was great to stop for a place to have lunch outside the car, quite and clean! Pictures are of the day area and how big the spaces are. Wish I would have caught a shot of the owl swooping in to have some of our lunch also! 😉

Lovely campground. Our first choice would have been to stay at dinosaur provincial park, but it was full. We booked here and after five days of camping, I think it was the better choice. The campground is clean and well maintained. It was Canada Day long weekend and everyone was respectfully enjoying their weekend. No issues with noise. There is a camp ground host. There is a playground for the kids. Volley ball net and baseball diamond. Campsites are large with trees to hang hammocks Fire wood was available to purchase at the check-in desk Would stay here again

Clean, well taken care campground. We camped mid week in the summer, it was pretty quiet. Washrooms very clean. Showers were hot and clean.

Park was clean staff was friendly most of the site are treed and a reasonable size. Showers are free and warm. That being said we were tenting and felt that this one is a little too close to the highway and train tracks. The lights from Brooks kind of ruins the camping ambience. Park seemed well suited for RVs (not great for tents)
