We found this park utilizing the Big Rigs Best Bets Book. Slightly tight streets for a 45' coach, but a very well maintained facility. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice, modern looking campground adjacent to a paved walking/bicycle path that parallels the Bow River. Wireless internet is free, however it struggles to meet the needs of the campground. Heavy filtering has been installed to prevent abuse of bandwidth, yet still at least half the time attempts to view web sites resulted in errors. Showers are coin operated, costing $1.00. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park. Great dog run along the river. Very friendly and helpful owner. Sites where a little close. A lot of families. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was our "Inaugural" campout in our new rig. We have camped for many years in hitch-tows but first fifth wheel. This campground is spectacular and so handy to the town of Cochrane. For a "first" this was important, since there were many items we needed to get. The people are super-friendly and the nicest we have ever met for caretakers. This has to be one of the nicest parks we have ever stayed in. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park landscaping and grounds. We enjoyed the dog walk at the river and the views. Very good laundry facilities and store on-site. My husband was driving through the campground and was "pulled over" by one of the employees with a radar gun. For the price, we will probably drive to Bow Valley PP for a more natural experience. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
As others have stated this is a super CG. Paved interior roads, level sites, friendly staff. wide spaces, nicely landscaped, extra clean. The only fault I could find was that they have Nazi style rules. If you break the rules they charge you a fee on your CC which is kept on file. But these extreme rules do prevent problems. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an excellent campground! It has good Wi-Fi, friendly staff , and a great quiet location. Showers cost $1CDN for 5 minutes, but were well worth it! We would definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Excellent RV park! Full hookups and WiFi, no cable but good TV reception. Cochrane is a nice city and only about 15 miles from Calgary. We used it as our base for our Calgary Stamped stay. The facilities and the sites are excellent. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If follow signage to campground you are OK but if use Woodalls directions then you will get lost as campground has moved from its original site and instructions in Woodalls are wrong. Wide entrance to campground with good area to park and register. Office staff friendly and efficient. Access roads to sites paved, well maintained and wide. Majority of sites are pull-thrus which are flat well designed, maintained and have services located in the right place. Electricity solid and water pressure good. Great dog walking by river and a quiet location close to town facilities. Owners/managers very helpful and really make you feel welcome. Will return next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed for a week so our rate was a bit less than the previous entry. This is a great campground. The sites are large and there are paved walking paths everywhere. If you have a dog you will just love this park as there is a huge walking and off leash area right next to the park. The laundry is $2 for a wash or dry which I thought was a little expensive but the facilities are clean and new. Should we be back this way we will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This new RV park is perfect in every way! Large pull-thrus( some 50 amp), strong WIFI and spotlessly clean. This is a new park, there isn't much shade yet, but not a drawback. They are unique in that they allow one tent per site as well at the RV. Back spots are just above the river. There is a great walking path at the river. This little village is a place I could easily call home. There is a really nice view on both sides of the park of a pretty hillside. We have business in Calgary and picked this park instead of one closer in. Check out the view of the Canadian Rockies going into town from highway one, priceless! You are able to take your pets off leash just out of the park as well. Highly recommend!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
A good campground. Wi-Fi worked good. The pull through site we were in was quite tight to get into due to an electrical service box. Park is gated and locked for security. A real plus for me was that they allowed a person to wash my truck and trailer! This was much appreciated. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
An OK park but the interior roads graveled with boulders. The Rest room is in the gas station and shared with their customers. There are cheaper and better parks in Cochrane. The sites are partially fenced making entry and exit difficult. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed for 2 weeks, this is a fairly new RV Park located 7.5 kl north of Cochrane. The park is well maintained offering full services. There is plenty of space between sites, drive throughs are large and easy to access. Staff are very friendly and helpful, guests are escorted to their sites by staff. We will definitely stay hear again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
