Loved this campground on my first trip out for so many reasons. We're into paddle boarding, so it's…read morea fun location on a windy bit of the Little Red Deer river. There's good trails, geocaching onsite, a little mini-store at the booth, and lots of picnic spots. The sites are well maintained as are the trails, the outhouses and the signage. But what we loved most about Red Lodge was it's proximity to many other local attractions, even during this time of COVID-19. One could feasibly come out to Red Lodge and then buy most of the fresh groceries you'd need at local farms and markets. We visited Pearson's Berry Farm and picked up berry treats of all kinds, and we also visited Edgar Farms where we picked up meat and veg. The Danish-Canadian museum and cultural centre are also nearby. There's so much to do at the campsite itself, and within a 20 minute drive from Red Lodge, we're really looking forward to coming back again.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this campground from Friday Sept 28 to Monday Oct 1st, 2018. We had…read moresome difficulty finding a place that was open this time of year, so we were pretty excited when we found this campground on such short notice. The location was perfect for us. It was only a 15 min drive to Drumheller and it was close to a lot of the tourist sites we wanted to go to. Washrooms were kept clean, but you do need to pay $1 to have a shower (more like $3 for a decent time). We found the water took a good minute to warm up. We got a site with power and water for our tent trailer and there was a picnic table and a small fire pit on our site as well. Sites were pretty close together with not much for privacy. Luckily for us the trailers on either side were empty. They had a nice open area with a park and volleyball net - I could see this campground being a lot of fun with a group of friends in the summer. Our site (#5) backed onto a trail along the river that we could use to walk our dog. Overall a great experience, but more privacy would be nice.

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.

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.

Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park is a brand spanking new park just 2 km outside of Cochrane. I've been…read morereading a bit about the park online, so decided to check the park out yesterday with my best friend. There aren't any signs up yet for the park, so if you're heading out, you'll want to look for Glenbow Rd. Coming from Calgary, Glenbow Rd is on the left hand side of the highway, and Range Rd 35 on the right. Be careful, the highway is busy and there's construction as well, it looks like they're twinning it the rest of the way to Cochrane. If you want to play things on the safe side, drive on through to the first subdivision at the top of the hill in Cochrane. Then turn around and head back the other direction. Now your turn will be on your right and you won't need to cross traffic on a busy highway. Once you turn onto Glenbow Rd, follow it all the way down. Yes you're on the right track. At the very end of the road you'll come across the parking lot for the park. Drive slowly, there are plenty of twists and turns in the narrow gravel road that even going 40 around them felt a little risky. Bring your own water, there are no fountains here, at least not yet. Also, if you're in need of a washroom, your only bet is a couple of outhouses in the parking lot. Use them before you hit the park. As you descend the first hill into the park, you'll come across the Visitor Centre. There were a couple of park stewards there to answer questions and chat with visitors who stopped in. The Visitor Centre has a few artifacts and information posters about the history of the area, the park, etc. From there, the park is yours to explore! If the prairie lands and the hills and a big, blue, open Alberta sky take your breath away, be prepared to be awestruck as you make your way through the various paths. This park is BEAUTIFUL. Five stars for scenery. We passed people walking, riding their bikes, even roller blading (ok, so the bikers and roller bladers passed us...). Dogs are allowed so long as they're on a leash. There are two main (paved) pathways for those of you with wheels. For the rest of us, there are also some gravel paths to take through different areas of the park. We ended up taking the first switchback path down one side of the hill, and then decided we wanted to find our way down to the river. You can, but its a bit of a walk. At any rate, the park may be open, but it isn't quite finished yet. Some things I'd like to see as it's developed are more picnic sites further along the walking trails, washroom facilities along the way, and perhaps a few other destinations in the park, like pointing the way to one of the old camping sites marked by rock circles they mention in the Visitor Centre. Also, the park is using QR codes on some of the information plaques around the park. I scanned a couple of these excited to see what they might bring up, but all I got was the same map of the park I was already looking at. While I'll admit this did come in handy 15 minutes later when there was no plaque in front of us, while at the plaque, I was disappointed that it didn't let me in on some additional facts about the park or something else that would have been a fun surprise. What's the point of scanning something if I'm only going to see what I'm already looking at? Otherwise, the park's off to a good start. Go check it out! But remember, be wary crossing the highway traffic, dear yelpers, it's not the safest move just yet.
