Best Campground in Canada

B	Brian Mason on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great spot! A lot to offer, scenery is amazing and a very tranquil setting. Camp ground is great though splitting blocks would help. Their customer service is beyond awesome. Kole greeted me upon arrival and he by far created the best parks experience I have ever had. I've been to numerous parks over many years in several counties and he by far made the greatest experience I've ever had. His demeanor and approach made my visit fantastic from the first hello!
L	Lisa Han on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My group was stay at the Cabin2 and Tipi site. The Cabin was so clean and beautiful. Everthing was provided. Just need to bring food and sleeping bags.. The tipi was very spacious, and it was new experience of camping. I am strongly recommend cabin stay!! Site was very quite and cosy. I want to go there again!!
S	Sarah Pearce on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Didn't camp here but visited for the day in April. Really beautiful spot along the North Saskatchewan River and very historic with remains of special forts - both from Hudson Bay company and northwest company. We have to visit again when the interpretive center is open.
W	Wade Forsyth on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great Stay, This location is tucked away on a quiet bend of the North Saskatchewan river. Its amenities are great and the Parks Canada Staff was excellent. We stayed at the tenting area which is nestled into the trees by the river. Its a great place that has its own fire pit for each site. There is one covered area to share if the weather turns bad. I added some photos of the Tenting area. Important Note when reserving Site. Site 1 is where site 2 is listed on the reservation map. Site 9 and 10 are where site 10 and 1 would be on the reservation site map. These two sites are on the far side of the shelter and away from the other sites. For Groups Sites 3 to 7 are in close proximity to each other. Only downside is storing food in your vehicle. Its just a short walk away.
D	Dr. Jeff on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We rented the trap line tents. They came with period correct kitchen ware. Was cool teaching the kids about how the settlers lived as they were building more permanent homes….. and how many people ended up just living in tents like these.
K	Kim Aban on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good campground, lots of small places to explore, I just wish there were more activities around the area we could do.
D	Douglas Briggs on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is an excellent campground with a choice of regular tenting, tipis, trapper tents, or cabins available. The campsite is gated to reduce traffic and the walking trails, museum, and interactive exhibits are pretty terrific. We stayed in a trapper tent which was very comfortable although a little cold at night. The parking pad across from the tent was just big enough for our truck; we did have to park at quite a steep angle as you can see from the photo. There are one set of flush toilets lighted at night which are near the cabins. The trails have lots of excellent and informational signs and there are bison to view from certain points which are safely behind fences. The views of the North Saskatchewan are lovely and the historic structures such as original chimneys and frames of buildings appear frequently on the trails. The signage on the trails is very informative and all the speaking signs have French and English options. The puppet show about David Thompson has great music and fairly engaging voice acting. It did come across perhaps as a little dated when it came to including all the perspectives of Canadian peoples but the kids loved it and we have videos of them dancing to the musical interludes. This is definitely one of the most unique campgrounds I have been to in Alberta and I highly recommend it.
D	Dajana Fabjanovic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful and tranquil spot. Our family’s favourite camping experience to date! Our family of four stayed in a Métis trappers tent which included two cots, three floor mats, a table with two chairs and a trunk filled with cooking equipment, Labrador tea, spices and bannock mix. Oh and a huge bison hide! Thankfully we brought cold rated sleeping bags and extra blankets because it was a tad chilly in our tent. This is not unusual for the end of September in Alberta so please come prepared! Outside there was a beautiful fire pit and rustic picnic table and benches. Plus a parking spot across the way for our vehicle. Our young boys loved having the North Saskatchewan River in such close proximity and they skipped rocks to their hearts’ content. (We’ll bring their bikes next time as there is a paved road and little to no cars.) My partner and I loved how clean and well kept the campsites and bathrooms were. The Parks Canada staff were all wonderful! Our camping fee included entrance to the Historic site just a few minutes away which was also well maintained. We spent a few hours meandering around listening to the auditory exhibits and learning about the Indigenous history of the area. We also watched a live demonstration of bead work by a lovely Parks Canada staff member. 10/10! We’ll be back next summer! Although the fall, with its vibrant colours, may be the prettiest time to visit.
