Easy sites to get into, laundry was nice. However the wifi is very weak. I could only use it at office and the only power plugs were outside on the wall and you drape your power cord to picnic table, subject to people walking into or one plug in the laundry room..give it a 2 for the wifi otherwise I would have rated it higher. It has many seasonal but they were quiet, but dog pick up and leash usage was spotty and not enforced. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here during the Calgary Stampede. There was a $2 charge per person, if more than 2 guests per unit. Our site, and many others are on a sideways slope. We were able to level our unit, but we couldn't find a level spot for the picnic table or our chairs. A shuttle service was available for $10 a person to take you back and forth to the fairgrounds. We just took our tow vehicle, and parked at a LRT station, taking the train to the fairgrounds. Wi-fi was available but we couldn't get reception at our site. The campground was easy access to Banff, Lake Louise etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped at Calgary West for ten days during the Calgary Stampede. It is a five to ten minute drive to the C-Train light rail station that connects you to the center city of Calgary and directly to the Stampede Grounds if you are there at that time of the year. The amenities at the campground are excellent except for the proximity of your neighbors-- driver side awnings come within twelve to eighteen inches of each other in the opposite direction pull-thrus. When we arrived the desk clerk assigned us to a space better suited for a small class C motorhome or a class B unit-- certainly not a 40-footer with slide-outs. A shoe-horn would not have gotten us into that spot. They cheerfully moved us; however, a large class A should never have been assigned to that space in the first place. We spent one day away from the site for rv service (previously notified the front desk) and when we returned we discovered another camper in our site. Additionally, that camper was NOT assigned to the space but initially refused to move and the management had to be forced into making the other party move. Very unsat! So.... what you have in this campground is a very good facility, albeit very crowded, that gets downgraded due to a less than capable/trained front desk staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A poor excuse for a campground. It is nothing but a large, open field. It's only saving grace is that it is right beside Callaway Amusement Park. There are no fires allowed. The wind will carry away poorly secured items. The store is run by Callaway employees, which means that there are 16 year old kids looking after the place. There is Wi-Fi, but no one working at the office, you need the password. The washrooms were cleaned once a day, and were disgusting. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

They did not have water running in May 2009. What is disconcerting is that I called when making the reservation and asked specifically if they had full hook-ups. Now mind you, this place is about 10-15 minutes away from other parks, so once you get there, you pretty much have to "put up with it" for the night lest you run around finding another park. I would not have stayed two nights at this dump. So I give them a rating of 1 for lying, otherwise I would give them a 6. Also, they charge $5 per person over two people and $5 per pet. I wouldnt mind the $5 per pet, except there is dog poo everywhere. If you are going to charge $5 for pet, then put the money to use and get someone to pick up the dog poo. You will step and/or smell it. One neighbor had a leaky sewer connection (a small puddle of black water on their site) and nobody minded or cared. This seemed to be the norm with this park. The sites are very tight and the place seemed to have a lot of full-timers (lots of other vehicles, some sites had up to 3 vehicles, meaning you had to ask them to move their vehicle so you could move in and out since they obviously are parking where they shouldnt be). Business is good so they dont seem to care. If the place is full, why should they bother seems to be their attitude. They did credit us two dollars when I complained about their lack of water services even though they said on the phone they had full hookups. The owners run the park and work the office, so this behavior is unacceptable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It has handy access to Calgary, but is noisy due to adjacent highway and planes flying overhead en route to Calgary airport. The washroom and shower facilities were very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi works very well but is expensive. It is certainly not a "destination", but an adequate place to stay while visiting Calgary. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites are okay. Staff so so friendly and not depending who you dealt with. Showers are adequate. Cost $1.00 for shower and 5 minutes. lots of hot water. We stayed here twice as it is close to airport which we needed. We checked out other campgrounds in area and all worse than this one. WiFi provided by private person and is $6.95 a day or $15 a week or $22 a month. Best in Calgary area but not saying much. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Never again...too crowded...like sardines. too many workers there and very dusty. Really expensive and staff not friendly at all. Plus the gay rodeo throughs turn me off...not a good campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very poorly kept. Open field type RV Park that looks like a junkyard, due to the many stored RV's, vehicles, and equipment all around the perimeter, as well as plenty of just plain junk and abandoned vehicles. Very strict about rules, but lax about cleanliness. Wi-Fi access only at office, for a daily fee. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The sites was closely packed together with a poor layout. The showers and washrooms were so filthy that even a member of the staff warned us, on our arrival, not to use one block because of the state of the showers. They were right. This was the dirtiest and most unkempt site we have ever stayed at and the only reason we stayed for the one night was that it was stampede week and we had no other option. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
