A lovely campground. Only 20 minutes from downtown. Five minutes away from Safeway and Tim Hortons. The campground has a clean shower, laundromat, and clean washroom, especially the one beside the office. The site of the campground is pretty good, and it has a fire pit. The customer services are excellent, and the playground is good. Overall great experience!

Rude and arrogant at the front desk. She is about my grand daughter's age. The lady at that time lectured and faulted me of not calling in with credit card details (in which the registered reservation would be cancelled by 6 pm.) I was in the office around 4 pm. with my credit card. She need to see the outside world on customer services, especially in travel industry. It was not like I messed up their allotment of tent sites because only three sites were occupied on the first day and none on the second. The plus side is the site and surrounding were well kept and location is within Edmonton.

Took my young kids here for an in-city practice run before camping out of town. Had a great time. Staff was nice, bathrooms were clean. A few nice parks / play structures for kids. Couldn't expect anything better for an in-city campground. Only negatives were that the tent sites were pretty close together and there were no fire pits (just fire boxes on poles).

It’s a campground that you park you unit and leave for the day. Campground needs tlc. Very close to your neighbour. Washrooms need better cleaning. Showers are hot and free but needs attention.
Only one washroom open and it’s shared with the people that come for the aerial park located at the entrance to the campground. You need $20.00 CASH to get a pass card for the duration of your stay to get in and out with your vehicle. Tree branches hang low, so be careful of you have a tall unit. Parking pads are more dirt than gravel. No fire pits! Just fire boxes which are very bent and rusted.

Rainbow valley park put on one of the most spectacular Christmas setups this year, the sculptures, the lights, and performances were spectacular. I’d rate this better than Castrol raceway just because of its insane performance this year.
Great effort, would most definitely recommend going before it’s over

An owl was perched on a branch above our tent. Every dawn, almost on the cusp of sunbreak, an apparently racist murder of crows would gather around and intimidate said owl. They would squawk incessantly for minutes, then pause, only to be followed by a single taunting hoot from the owl, resulting in the murder riling up again. When we finally emerged from our tent several hours later, the owl was still perched above us, unmoved apparently from the night before, with a mess of crow feathers scattered about. This repeated each morning for three days; at no point did the crows realize that this
