We had a great stay! The tent was really cozy, it had two comfy queen beds already made, a nightstand, lights, a beautiful macramé decoration, and a solid floor with the cutest mats. There was free on-site parking for two cars, a big picnic area with a large food table, and free games to borrow right by the green space. The surrounding trails were amazing for walking, biking, and hiking. Since it’s in a Provincial Park, the wildlife and nature were absolutely stunning. If you’re new to camping, like us, this place is the perfect way to ease into it. You still get that outdoor experience, but with all the cozy touches and amenities. No need to worry about setting up a tent or bringing bedding, everything’s ready for you when you arrive. They will provide you towels and a lot of rental supplies… and the best part, it’s pet friendly. We got lost at midnight and a really nice lady responded to our call and escorted us to our campsite. It really is the perfect mix of comfort and outdoors!

i loved that I did not have to set up a tent in the rain or tear down and pack a tent in the rain. It was AMAZING. And I could still enjoy camping. It would be nice if all sites had a private outhouse (since it seemed like most actually do)

We loved it here!! Stayed in a glamping tent that came with the bed made and it was super cozy. Linens, beds, and pillows were top notch and the tent had a heater if needed. Lamps and phone chargers were a nice touch. Clean bathrooms, super hot showers, has shampoo conditioner and body wash in them. Trading post is cute, staff is excellent. Gorgeous sites - trees separate them and not too close to others. Would 100% stay here again.

Would not recommend with children. The tipi was not ideal for rainy days there were some leaks and the floor was soaked. There was black mould in there and the washrooms/outhouses were too far away. Not worth the small fortune it cost to camp. Save $ and pitch a tent in Banff or Canmore

This was an absolute surprise, these little cabins are adorable and the beds incredibly comfortable and warm. The fire place gave us a hard time but we think that may have been an us problem instead of the fire place. Overall, great place and would definitely come again.

Too Hot for Summer Camping (roasting hot)

Our tent has no shade from the sun. It was so hot and we can't even change to different tent even if we offered to pay extra. THe policy is no exception unless "something wrong with the tent itself". The weather that day was 28°C and we have no choice to to seek shade around our camp until 6pm before it was cool enough to even seat in front of our tent. This has to be our worst camping experience. By day break we left as soon as possible.

Tepee entrance is too small. Couldn’t bring my bag inside so had to unpack on the picnic table. Luckily it wasn’t raining. Strong smell of kerosene from the heater. Property was clean, staff was very helpful. Would go back to try the prospector tents but wouldn’t recommend the tepees.

This is a place for camping, you'll need to bring or rent stuff to cook, sleep, etc. If you have they clear, then you'll have a great time. The tents are well maintained and mear yhe office they have a small store to get some last minute items. Each tent has its own parking, fire pit and in common areas they have games.
