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.

Slum Camping with owners to match…read more Well, to say that this is a run down campground is a MASSIVE understatement. It is like camping in the slums of a third world country. The website shows NO likeness whatsoever. As you drive up to the Campground, it looks like a garbage dump or a salvage yard. The campsites are as rough. The roads have big divets from the rain with no maintenance, the sites are not maintained and are extremely ungroomed. The washroom facilities are a joke! When we checked in, we were told the power is out and the washrooms were closed but no discount. They nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING! My daughter and friend went to the General Store as they watched a couple of little kids buying ice cream (which was beyond inflated pricing), gave the cashier $50 and she failed to give them change until my daughter spoke up. Shameful! We then got evicted as the owner, Stacy, thought we were a different site claiming we hadn't paid and that we had a tent on site. We did not. We were then threatened by Stacy, that the RCMP had been called which would hae been a welcome interaction but she was unwilling to discuss. We waited but the RCMP never came. We went into the office to clarify where we were then berated, name called, yelled at, threatened and sworn at by the owner. Low grade, unprofessional and need serious lessons on customer service. What a disgrace! SLUM CAMPING.......

The campsites are decently spacious, well for us tent folk anyway. I'm not sure what pulling you 50 foot bus up is like. What I love about this campground is the short walk to the river and the paths that you can access from here. Following the main path to the river, you can access some prime rocks for hanging out, soaking up the sun and on a hot day, jumping into that glacier water, screaming a blood curdling scream, and clawing your way back to the shore. It's the worst, but you can't help but feel so alive!

I won't lie, I had some anxiety knowing bears were lurking in the bushes (there had been sitings the day I set up) and I was woken up at night once by noise that had my heart in my throat.

You're a little campground on the side of a loud ass highway and nothing for kids to do.

The Basics: Firepits, firewood, hitching rails (For horses, yo.), outhouses, food storage lockers…read more Tombstone campground just might take my new beginners backcountry cake. Here's why: It's easy to get to, but the walk is wonderful. At just over 7kms from the road, Tombstone campground gets you significantly away from society. You're far enough away to experience a mountain range with a scenic valley and not another human in sight. Once you're up the first hill, the walk is very flat. It's rugged and off road enough to be interesting, but it spends it's time meandering through the valley, offering you lush fields with ample views and spectacular mountainscapes. There's a few short day hikes from the campground. At only 7.5-ish kms, you could start in the morning and arrive at the campsite for lunch. From here, you could set up camp, have lunch and easily embark on one of the 8km-ish day hikes within the area to return to your already set up camp in the evening, looking forward to the food and campfire that awaits. This is an excellent idea. Just be cause you hauled all your food and accommodations way out into the wilderness, doesn't mean your daylight and energy is best spent lugging that stuff around. After ditching out stuff, we decided to make the easy trek up to the tombstone lakes, which involved some relaxing, a bit of skree scrambling and some Pika viewing. Bring your rod and reel if you're heading to Tombstone. Just sitting by the waters edge we saw many trout swim by. Some fresh fish for dinner would really up the camping experience. As far as backcountry campgrounds go, this one is full featured with each site having its own firepit and picnic table. There are no tent pads, but leave it up to you to choose the best location for your tent, from sheltered and tree'd in, to out in the open. We put our faith in our shelter and despite the thunderstorm warnings chose a spot overlooking the ridge. Thankfully the weather let up so being exposed to the sunshine was a good thing. Tombstone makes for a wonderful overnight adventure in the backcountry without having to haul your gear the whole way. The mostly flat and downhill 7km exit for for an easy exit too.
