A hidden sports store. I only seen the signs and heard this place by word of mouth. The place sells camping gear, clothes, and equipment like sportschek but has more outdoor equipment than sports gear. The atmosphere to me has this cabin color vibes which feels nice. I was surprised they sell the car attachment tent structures because I've been looking at these online. It's good to see them in person to see if it's actually the fit you'd like to use. Lots of staff nearby to help which is great. Parking here is very small for a large shop. However, I'm not sure many people are aware of this store. This would definitely be a store I'd come to if I couldn't find gear and equipment near my retail stores. Recommended for anyone looking to get camping, hiking, or outdoor gear. read more

See all

Campers Village has become my go to here in Edmonton, the way R.E.I. was my go to back home, in Seattle. Prices are high, like all other outdoor stores in Edmonton (seriously, what is with that?) but the service cannot be beat. Don't get me wrong. I also like M.E.C. & Cabela's but the attention to detail and customer assistance at Campers Billage cannot be beat! Whether you're looking for some base layer clothing or the perfect cast iron pan/griddle, you will find it here! I really like their children's section for winter wear & mitts (though my heart belongs to Cabela's for their waterproof Muck boots). This is also my family's go to store for great quality waterproof sandals. The hubs & I just picked up a pair each of Keen'a covered toe sandals for our trips this summer. Dave (in shoes) couldn't have been more helpful or knowledgeable. If you've ever show shopped at Nordstrom's in the states, Dave is that quality of a salesperson. See you soon Camper's Village (well, as soon as my wallet lets me). read more

Popped in to pickup some boots that the south store put on hold for me. I have to say I love the selection at Campers Village. From travel gear, motorcycle travel, hosteling, hoteling, local or international to camping equipment, tour the world. Everything you might need. Had a little trouble locating anyone in the footwear section. Stood there for quite a while until I flagged down a gentleman passing by who was more than helpful. Found the boots, got me to try them on. I asked if he had a suggestion to fix the laces I didn't like. He said sure, you could do them with shock cord and speed-lace fittings, and where I could find them. Ideal solution. Asked about an impending purchase I had seen on sale on their website, and they tried to find one for me to look at, but unfortunately they wouldn't have one available in the store until after the 10th. I asked about their return policy. Wellllll, they can't do much for you at the store if it is 50% off (or more) online. Reviews are favourable for the product online, so I've ordered it. Wandered over to the snowshoes, another helpful gent came over and offered assistance. Was looking at the different bindings and gators and he helpfully suggested that he had more to choose from over by footwear. Great quality merchandise too. Store is really tidy, well organized, uncluttered, and I don't ever feel like anyone is hovering, or desperate to make quota or commission - they're paid hourly I understand from the night manager at the south location. Really happy with the service and staff at this location on this visit. Previous visits, I've picked up the handiest little portable cooler/pack with a built in table that is super handy, and we use at Folk Fest every year. I needed a cleaning brush for my Camelbak bottle, they scoured the store for the ones the computer said they were in stock - but on clearance, so the hunt began! They did find one for me! Bonus! They offer repairs for gear etc. but only at the west location. read more

I went in to get a new sleeping bag and to help my sister look for a tent. We did quite a bit of shopping around and in a lot of cases (not all, but what are you going to do?) they had the most selection and the best price. The really impressive thing was the staff were not pushy. We said we were going to check out their competition and they were totally okay with that. Perhaps they knew we would be back. We were. We purchased the sleeping bag and the tent from campers village. Warren, (I think) over the course of two days, spent probably 5 hours talking us through the temperature ratings and pros and cons of each option. He did not hesitate to get items from the back room, put items on hold for us, take them off he when we changed our minds again. All with a smile and "hey, that's my job!" We had a great experience. read more

The people at West Edmonton Campers Village are so friendly & helpful. Every time I have been shopping there I have bought something because the staff find the right thing I am looking for. and they are so good with exchanges. They are great. read more

Although I'm not a camper, I travel quite a bit and often find myself needing something new for certain trips. Campers Village has tons of stuff, from shoes and clothing and backpacks, to tents and all kinds of outdoor gear, to books and odds and ends. The store is huge, but well organized and always neat and tidy. I shopped here most recently as I was looking for a new travel bag and I know they carry a line I like called Pac Safe. I was also looking for hiking shoes as I'm going to be walking the Great Wall and none of the shoes I have are appropriate. I went in in "comparison shopping" mode, as I was planning to go somewhere else after, but the girl who helped me out was really helpful and knowledgeable so I ended up buying a pair right away. Other staff members encountered were also friendly and seem to quite enjoy their jobs. I would definitely recommend this place and continue to shop here for any type of outdoor/travel gear. read more

This store is particularly good for equipment. If you're in need of something particular, whether it's clothing or equipment, give CV a try. We rolled in after driving from Montreal to find that we needed gear up for rain in Jasper. The sales staff was completely helpful. She pulled every possible fit and made a recommendation. Her advice was right on the money. I also realized that we needed some gear for hanging and repairs. At the back of the store they have nylon straps, shock cord, and all sorts of clips and clamps for tents and packs. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. I much prefer supporting this local Alberta business than MEC. They are also following the Alberta government regulations on wearing a mask; something MEC does not. If you want an enjoyable shopping experience with amazing selection, knowledgeable staff, and no mask requirements, shop here! read more

In the states, we have Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) which is similar to Canada's MEC(?) REI is pretty much the hiking, camping, climbing mecca. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised to find a formidable selection of high-end clothing, shoes, and equipment at CV. I was able to find a few items of clothing that I had not seen in REI. They carry some of my favorite brands such as: Mountain Hardwear, The North Face, Arc Teryx, Columbia, Keen, Asolo, Chaco and Vasque. The sales associate informed me that the Calgary Trail location carries a broader selection of clothing and that the NW location carries more hardware (tents, climbing gear, boats etc). I've only been to the Calgary Trail store and was greeted by no less than 4 different staffers in the 1st few minutes of my arrival. Granted, the place was not filled to the brim, but I was assured that if I had any questions, there was a person within earshot that would assist me. If you don't have time to shop online, this is a quick fix (even the sale prices seemed a bit high) I was able to find a MHW Quark jacket online for $125 US shipped whereas CV had it on sale for $225 CN (add the 10% exchange rate and I'd be up to $250+) Gotta love the net I tell ya. If I were to live here, this would be my A-list hangout (or at least the place to compare online prices:) Check it out, go across the way to Starbucks for a grande caramel frappacino, then go and hike off the 400 calories. read more

This is THE ultimate store for outdoor lovers! It is huge, and the stock is fantastic! Whenever I come in, I feel this unexplainable urge to go hiking, camping or climbing. I also like this store a lot better than Mountain Equipment Co. Camper's VIllage carries everything from tents to thermal outerwear to running shoes. Everything is of fantastic quality and is priced accordingly. Here you will find such brands as Northface and Patagonia. Every item of clothing is geared towards adventurous and outdoorsy people who also do not shy away from fashionable clothes, and want their sportwear to look good. Camper's Village selection of tents is mind blowing: baby tents, double tents, 2-room tents, tents big enough to throw parties in...The selection of sleeping bags at all price points is also great. At times it is hard to receive assistance from customer service representatives though. Other than that - a perfect store! read more

I purchased many things from this store and all were good quality except one tent I bought. It was a pretty poor quality tent and ripped twice on setup as well as strings breaking. I brought it back to the store and they gave me a full refund. I am very happy with this service at this store read more

Great service and knowledgeable staff. I have purchased from two different departments (hiking boots and tents) and both times was impressed at how the staff were friendly and provided info about the range of options without necessarily trying to up-sell. Also I recently had a concern about a defect in something I bought there, and although I didn't have my receipt and I had declined making a profile at the time of purchase, they were still willing to help me out. (but I now have a profile!) Also this review is for the South side location; I have not been to the West End one. read more

Last year I purchased a backpack. A year later I took it back to Campers Village to have them assist me with adjusting the straps as the backpack did not fit correctly. In dong so they advised me that I was incorrectly sold a backpack that was too small and the straps could not be adjusted properly. Campers Village then exchanged the backpack for one that fits me correctly. David was great to deal with and it is nice to deal with a company that stands behind their customer service and goes the extra mile to preserve customer relationships. read more
