Watch out for the tree overhangs and angles of the trees. We had a good visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground was rather disappointing, although we should have been warned by the name 'Municipal'. It is located along the road, across from a school building. Thankfully it is a dead end road, and the part in the back is for campers only, on two sides of the road. The sound of the river is nice, the screaming noises made by trains are horrible. The owners are very kind, and are obviously willing to give good service. It is a pity that one has to pay for a Wi-Fi connection. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has a brand new amenity hub hosting heated bathrooms wheel chair accessible, RV parts store, and General store with great food and Coffee. Laundry facilities. Wi-Fi across from community pool. Free Sani dump. Walking trails biking trails park like setting. All sites have fire pits. Very Family oriented and campground operator very friendly and knows the area and the parks and can offer excellent visitor information. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Wi-Fi next season. Showers $1.00 for six minutes. Lovely trees. There is a train track beside campground. They have seniors rates. There is a pool nearby. Small store in office. Dump site with rinse water. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a fairly nice campground with large trees and a beautiful view of the hills and valley. Fair gravel interior roads and fairly level sites with adequate space between. Our site was a pull-through with water and 15amp electricity. It wasn't long enough to park our truck at our site, but the owner was nice about our parking it at a nearby site. We had no trouble maneuvering our big rig, even with all the trees. Wi-Fi was free but basically useless at our site. The bathrooms were not cleaned while we were there. The campground is located along the main highway that is on a long, steep grade and there was quite a bit of road noise from semi-trucks. I would probably look for somewhere else to stay next time, mainly because of the road noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Former KOA site. Lack of a pool and games room knocked the rating down a bit, otherwise this was a great campsite at which to stay. Beautiful views. Had no trouble maneuvering our 30' 5th wheel around the campsite. A little bit more "sprucing" up, and the rating would be higher. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very good site! New owner and manager have made plentiful improvements to put this campground as a 10! Everything was very clean, great views, and very family orientated. As well as being fun, it was very educational for my son who spent most of his times collecting species as well as taking notes of all the different tress. Overall it was a great experience and I plan to come here again for the 2010 season. The only problem I did have was that I didn't stay here long enough to full enjoy the scenery. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was an adequate campground for a night or two stay. We used it for two nights as a base to go to Lake Louise and Banff. The washrooms were not very clean. WiFi available for $1.00 and was as secure site. The park was quite nice. We had male Mountain Goat groups come right into the park. Had some great photo opportunities of ram with great horn sets. Scenery was quite spectacular also with the mountains all over. Town of Golden quaint and worth a walk around. I would stay here again passing through We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites are tight together and appear to all be "pull through". Wifi is *very* flaky and requires a "wep" key which is "sold" for $1.00. I don't understand why it had so many drop outs as it was a steady 2 bars out of 5. Water pressure was fine at night and low in the morning. Office is open from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. There is an "internet cafe" in the office which offers access at $2.00 for fifteen minutes. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is family type with lots of children and campfires. Interior roads dusty. Sites are between trees and makes hard to maneuver into site. Electrical very weak with near brown outs during peak times. Good location to Banff and very nice town. Staff friendly. Good laundry. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
