The location of the campground is good as it is close to Calgary and that's where the positive points stop. The residence managers were very unfriendly. I personally phoned the owner to complain and his comment to me was "it's hard to find good help". We camped here in a Motorhome.
They may advertise to be kid-friendly and pet-friendly, but don't believe it. The playground is a danger zone. And, although they will take your money to stay there, they clearly don't like dogs. The owner told us, after we paid for our stay, that "We're thinking of going pet-free." In fact, I'm not certain "friendly" describes this place -- or the owners -- at all. We much preferred Symons Valley in Calgary or Mountainview near Chestermere -- or George Lane Campground in High River -- over this place and would never return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent campground...friendly people running the office/store, lots to choose from... pet friendly and kid friendly. new managers, which are working hard at maintaining and doing lots of work to the place to make it a wonderful campground. will do it again next year and the years to come, had a wonderful stay!!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Phone line in office area for modem access. Trains, planes and automobiles all contribute to the noise level. Not much in the store. I'd try another campground or boondock at the one Walmart in Calgary that allows that. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A real dump! Just an open field with rutted dirt roads to the sites. When we arrived at 2:30pm, our sewer hook-up was overflowing - along with three neighbours. The owners promised to have it fixed right away but it wasn't until 11:30am the next morning, and several complaints, that he finally got around to fixing it. The other problems with this RV Park are too numerous to mention - just avoid it if possible! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
What a dump! If I could give it a -10 I would. The only good thing is easy access to Highway 2 but then you get the road noise. We reserved a full hookup site but what was left the previous motorhome's jack sunk in the ground so we took an electric/water site with plans to use dump site the following A.M. The front and back roads were both rutted and filled with water. Areas where roads were dry dust blew off them. Several sites setup as fulltime and not the best. The following A.M. we pulled out to dump and it was filled to the brim with human waste on the ground!Reported it to the office and had to dump at an open site. This is also a Good Sam place. Think they need to check these places more before a logo is handed out. We camped here in a Motorhome.
