A small fee for the showers, and laundry on site, as well and a dump station. They are pet friendly, with a city run off leash area right beside the grounds. They are close to downtown Cochrane and a short drive to Calgary and Banff. Nice bike paths and the sports center is right outside the gates.

We did this for our last hike of our trip to Banff. Another couple we had met told us it was pretty…read moretough so I was a little worried, but it really wasn't bad...or perhaps I was just used to it after a week of hiking. It was steep, but not nearly as steep or long as the lake agnes tea house hike. Like everything else in Banff this hike was pretty crowded, but at least i knew we were in good company if a bear decided to join us. I forgot to bring bear spray so assumed one of the other 800 people on the trail had to have it. The view from the top was gorgeous - so we sat for awhile and enjoyed it. My legs were definitely tired when I made it down, but had enough energy to walk back to the Fairmont. For those staying at the Fairmont it's an easy walk to and from tunnel mountain.

I really enjoyed this campground…read more The weather was less than ideal, but I was happy for sheltered and warm showers and flush toilets. Spectacular views! The campground is more of a really nice parking lot. You drive up to your spot like you're parking on the curb in front of your house. It's easy. But. If you're big on site privacy there is really not so much here. Walking distance to Banff townsite. Mostly. It depends on what kind of walking or no walking you want to do. It's a good walk through the campsite, down along the road then a set of stairs. And you're there. No worries about parking in the townsite.

Honestly the saddest excuse for a campsite I have ever seen these past few years... Banff is a…read moreNATIONAL Park, it should be an example of how people all over Canada and the world get to experience what Canada's nature has to offer. Instead it has turned into a sorry excuse for a money grabbing extravaganza. The price has absolutely sky rocketed over the years, campsites are never cleaned, and snow removal seems to be non existent except for the main drive. The fire permit fee is mandatory even if you're not having a fire, and the wood is always, wet, rotten, or never properly dried in the first place. The showers have been under construction for the last two off-seasons, with no sign of anyone even working on them. Instead of a quick fix in the spring or fall, parks decides to capitalize on summer reservations, turn their profit, and not actually put it back into it facilities in a timely manner. At this point, Parks is pushing tourism to park illegally in Banff, as all they really offer is a washroom and there are several public ones readily available in the town. Parks Canada should be ashamed. This is a sad, sad excuse for a federally funded government agency. Check yourself.

Let's start with the positives: Spacious plots…read moreHas spots with full hook ups even through the winter (not all spots and not like I would go back to use) but great none the less. Best playground I have seen for kids at campgrounds although the kids are very loud so if you don't like loud ask for a space away from the playground. Evening shift office staff are super nice, friendly, really understand the customer service role. Full bathrooms in the main building. Cleaned daily (just avoid the cleaning lady). Gas station, convenience store and liquor store attached to the office Yards professionally maintained (maybe a little too much at times as there seemed to be mowing or weed wacking more often then not). A lot of the campers, even full timers keep spaces clean and are friendly (a lot, not all). Absolutely beautiful provincial park 7 km down the road. Honestly, there isn't A LOT I can say that isn't positive. The cons though are reasons I will never be back. Here are the cons: Its definitely the most priciest campground I have been to and their prices don't even include electricity. You pay for that once you leave. Its on the corner of two highways. The highway noise, depending on where in the Campground you are located is horrendous. The corner of the highway is known for accidents. I know of at least 5 ranging from minor to severe while I was there and I wasn't there long. The rules say one thing but a lot of people get away with breaking them, even if the office becomes aware of it but then say "we can't do anything if we don't see it." Example: not allowed to do ANY car work on the premises. The amount of car work I saw while there was astounding. Even as workers drive by and nothing is said or done. No dogs off leash or to be left outside unattended and dog poop is supposed to be picked up right away ( understandable, no complaints with the rule) but when you walk your dogs through the Campground rows, you will see a motorhome with a dog chained outside all hours of the day who barks at everyone and everything surrounded by piles of poop (but I guess the guy works there so he's exempt from that rule). Firepits. Some people are lucky where their firepit is but a lot of the firepits I saw, including mine, was so close to neighbors. Had a fire while there and decided to put it out because I didnt want to risk an ember getting lose and setting their trailer on fire (also, no covers for the firepits so hard to control fly aways). Quiet time is 11 (pretty standard, no complaints there) but despite the amount of people who work there thats living there, people are still out and loud all hours of the night and theres nothing to be done about it. I went to the pond to fish once. Its nothing spectacular. But the pond is attached to the backyard of a house there (I originally thought owner but apparently not. Definitely cranky old man though). Anyway, I was laughing and talking with my friend and I guess he was out in his backyard (maybe?). I didnt think we were that loud but he came out yelling at us to be quiet because he's trying to relax. Maybe not a great place for a man-made pond? The owner, even when around couldn't be reached. If I had a question the office couldn't answer, I was told they would ask when the owner was available and never heard back. Met a guy at the dog park though and he said that he lived there since early April and put a request in to make a deck and months later still had heard no word even though he keeps checking in so that explains something.... I already went over the evening staff being great. The morning/afternoon staff.... probably just avoid. The one lady always has this look on her face if your talking to her (not just me, I've seen how she is with others too) that looks like she just cant wait to be done with you, and her tone is really no better. Felt like I was a burden anytime I had a question. And the person who cleans the washrooms, when they clean the men's, will put a sign on the door so you dont go in. But doesn't for the women's. Got snapped at one morning on our way out to Banff because I stopped to use the washroom first. Used the key card to open the door, opened it and went to walk in and got "No! You cant use right now! Can't you see I'm cleaning?" I had hardly made it into the bathroom to even notice they were there. Almost certain they were cursing at me as I left but I couldn't completely understand with the accent. And then we decided to leave early. They do not do refunds. They use for credit towards your next stay. Even if you express you will not ever be back unless management is taken over by someone else and they clean house. And then the electricity comes off your credit card even though they have days worth of stay time left as credit.

Redstreak is a beautiful campground located just minutes from the Radium Hot Springs town site and…read morethe Hot Springs pool. There are a variety of sites: tenting, RV, pull through, full service, no service, walk-up, little cabins/huts. A fire permit is extra but firewood is provided; however, keep in mind you will need a park pass to stay here (which can be purchased at the campground gates). In total (with a fire permit), it came to about $55.00 for one night. The registration process was a bit of a joke - if you didn't have a reservation of course. It was taking anywhere between 7 to 15 minutes per unit to check in (on a Monday afternoon no less) which almost sent me into breakdown mode with about 12-15 cars ahead of us when we arrived. The sites were nice - we ended up with a walk up site on the edge of a cliff. It was nice, but we were pretty close to our neighbors, and having to walk back and forth to the car every time you needed anything got a little tiring eventually. The facilities were clean and well kept (free showers are nice too). I would also recommend taking the hike to the hot springs pool; it was beautiful and not overly strenuous. I don't know that this would be our first choice for camping in the area, but we would certainly consider it. I think we would likely look into making a reservation though next time since no one wants to spend 2 hours in line on their vacation!

Unbelievably bad place to stay. Upon arrival my spot was in 6-7 inches of standing water. They…read moreexpected me to hook up to electric standing in water. The sewer connections are poor if not illegal as I had to duct tape my line in. Across from my spot is a field filled with what I think is the leach lines from the sewage septic system. Water pressure dropped to sub 20, the place is a mess. Spoke with both local fire and safety inspection from Ricky county and they are both way too familiar with this place for all the WRONG reasons.

We have stayed at the Spruce Grove RV Campground a few times and have been DISAPPOINTED EVERY TIME…read more No more. They have an inadequate amount of washroom and shower facilities. In the five years we've come, nothing has been upgraded or fixed. All of the doors on the stalls in the ladies room need work or replacing. You can hardly stand to be in the pit toilets at the other end of the campground. WORST OF ALL - This Campground does not enforce rules about quiet time. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN IT PATROLLED. When we've called in the past, we've just gotten a answering machine. This past week we stayed thinking we would give it one more chance. We were near the large group renting site - a BIG problem in the past, but since our trip started mid week, there was no one there. On Friday, we came back to our site at 10 pm to find 12-13 units in the site. The occupants were loud and were obviously gathered for a party (we heard talk of a wedding). We expected some noise, but these campers continued until well after 5AM to play music and talk loud enough we could follow their entire conversation. At one point, it also sounded like they were setting off fire crackers - under a province wide fire ban. A camper in a nearby site (not in the group site) also ran his generator until 11:30 pm. We've learned our lesson - we won't spend our money ANYWHERE at this resort again. We've also told many friends looking for camping in the area this was an "adequate option" - not anymore - we'll be steering our friends elsewhere from now on.
