Very nice and clean campground. Had some issues getting firewood, and out houses too close to campsites (smells when wind blowing certain way).

Campground is nice, the only thing is some spots are very close to eachother, although it doesn't necessarily show this on the map so it's good to call and ask or if possible tour the campground and find a spot you like before booking if you want some privacy.

Decent campsite to setup a base camp at while you explore surrounding communities. This is a huge campground and we found the map confusing. The roads are tiny, so your trailer will likely rub on the bushes. Lots of washrooms around but the water stations are few and far between.
Lots of interesting things within the park boundary but it's so big that you either need to drive to them or walk very far.

The road is made of gravel. So when a truck comes in the camp site, its dusty specialy when its windy. Its more for trailer not for tents. Because each stalls.are made of gravel as well. But the only thing i like about it is there is a walking, biking and hiking trail nearby.

This really shouldn't be advertised as a tent friendly campground. There's no where to wash dishes that doesn't involve you leaving food waste in your own campsite to attract wildlife. Also charging $3 for a 5 minute shower is a scam. I was forced to pay extra for electric and water hookup I have no use for. Guess if you're in a camper you can use unlimited water with no cost but god forbid a tenter have a free shower when they pay the same fee as the campers.
The overall cost is insane. Paid $47 a night for a single tent, and now with the new Kananaskis pass you pay an additional $15 a day. Save

We camped here in beginning of July, it was beautiful. The staff at the store at check-in mentioned there were 3 bears in the area but we didn’t see any. We stayed in a tent so made sure the campsite was clean and all food along with toiletries were pack in the boot of the car. We didn’t venture outside the tent once it was dark, carry bear spray along if going on walks and keep by bedside. The weather was good we didn’t get any rain or storm, Love the soothing sound of the river as we were in loop A close to the river.Overall we loved it.

Beautiful quite campground in Kananaskis close to the bow river with upclose mountain views. Submerged in the nature of the park its a great place to get away. Lots of hiking trails close by and fog friendly. We will definitely be revisiting.

I took my son camping for the first time ever last week. We had so much fun. The camp sites are beautiful. They are a little close together, imho. But it didn’t affect us much. Down in the trees, it was cool, even in the midst of the heat wave we experienced. Water was very accessible! The staff at the store were friendly and really helpful. This is a great campground.

That was mistake I booked this campground for 6 days and 5 nights. They Cut Power for about 6 hours everyday at day time, really ridicules and even I paid for site equipped with power. And even today (June 30th) no power until midnight And then they say water front site, not even close to water site I booked. No sound of river (water) at all. Girl at the shop so rude at closing. All costumers were unhappy with this girl.

Nice little campground. If you select a spot close to the river, you likely will hear the trains through out the night. They are not at all loud, comes across as white noise after the first few.
Over all a wonderful place to have a few days. Oh and views are spectacular.
