    You know, we never liked seasonal campsites. We thought if you have a fifth wheel, it's meant to be…read moretowed. While that is true to a certain extent, but you'll find that that camper only gets towed somewhere a couple times a year and let's face it, gas is expensive. Then, consider storage fees if you can't keep your camper at your home. So here's the deal. Seasonal sites are sorta where it's at. They are a convenient distance from major Alberta centres. You can buzz down and have a relaxing weekend. You actually use your camper more than once or twice a year, which is a good thing because those things aren't cheap. And it's like a small community. You know your neighbours, they become your friends and your kids have a shangri-la of things to do and summer friends to hang out with. Starting to sound good? That brings us to Green Acres. This place is a members only site, so you can't just mosey on in and expect to join in on the fun. Well, you can, sort of, but you gotta know a member. But it's worth it. Firstly, the place is immaculate. Well manicured and well kept. The people there are so nice. Didn't bring food? That's ok, Lucy's has you covered with a full service restaurant. Need stuff to do? Great! Pick up the newsletter to hear about the camper walk & shop, dances on long weekends or the camper crawl. Or, just head down to Lucy's for a swim in the salt water pool, video games and pool tables. Oh yeah, and the book exchange. Go down to the lake and wade in the water or send the kids to one of three playgrounds. Oh, you'll never be bored! Maybe consider unplugging yourself from social media or Yelp (sorry, Yelp) because the reception in the valley is pretty weak and sometimes non-existent. However, cell service is ok. But who needs that when you are relaxing, right? Yep, love it there hanging with old friends and meeting new. Definitely a must go if a seasonal camping site is your thing.

    Green Acres - Lake does have an algae issue. However, they do clean the beach several times a week.

    Great resort to step back in time to a slower pace. Friendly staff. Good prices. We look forward…read moreto returning there next camping season.

    I stayed at Spruce Bay on Saturday Aug. 31 2024 and I was soundly disappointed. It was not at all…read morewhat I expected. First, I was overcharged for a one night stay, owner said it was a long weekend premium charge. What a load of crap! Just a cash grab. Funny bow no other campground anywhere near Red Deer, was charging this premium. Secondly, the washrooms/showers were filthy dirty, with mud on the floors. hand driers didn't work, flush urinals barely worked, toilets were filthy. Third, beach area was weed infested. Even the area where kids would play on a water slide, was filled with weeds. Fourth, boat launch area was hard to access and not up to the task. Fifth, docks were rickety and in some cases, dangerous to walk on let alone tying up your boat. Some areas were falling apart. Sixth, the whole place stunk, smelled of rotting seaweed. Seventh, camp store was seriously understocked, filthy and needed remodeling. Eighth, kids running around and yelling even after 11:00 at night. Don't they go to bed sometime? Nineth, most of the people staying there looked like the dregs of society. Some looked like they lived there permanently. Tenth, this place looked more like a wrecking yard. Deri licked vehicles, and car parts scattered here and there. Even a car for sale in the yard. I could go on but you get the idea. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It could use new owners and a complete makeover. It is not worth what you pay for believe me. Don't camp here. Go somewhere else.
