Will be staying here for the next 45 days. So far so good. Very easy check in, hassle free hookups for the trailer. Happy that I am close to Calgary. Washrooms and showers are centralized for easy access. Lots are close together but still plenty of room to stretch out. Looking forward to giving you updates at the end of the 45 days

I wouldn’t even rate this place a 1, not even to give it a chance. Let me tell you why, we were there since September 1st 2023 until February 29th 2024 and I honestly regret it but couldn’t get into any other campgrounds. Honestly wish there was an option for 0. 1. Broken dryers and washers they expect you to use one of them vs how many sites lol?! 2. The facilities are disgusting , they close them mid day and in the winter time this is very unsanitary because you don’t have anywhere else to use the washroom unless you haul your stuff because they don’t PROVIDE WATER OR SEWER!!!!!!!!!!!! How do you expect people to go to the bathroom? On your front lawn ? Honestly… 3. You can’t do your dishes because the wash station outside doesn’t work, and inside the washrooms there’s big signs saying if you wash your dishes it is an immediate eviction. 4. They don’t have water running at the dump station to rinse your belongings….. 5. They charge almost $1000.00 a month for a crammed site where your literally bumper to bumper and don’t have space 6. There internet is TRASH 7. The staff are lazy, incompetent, and harassed us 2-3 times a day for apparently renewing a “Lease” that we didn’t even sign etc …. Like it’s campground …: didn’t think leases were a thing here?! lol 8. SOMEONE LITERALLY GOT MURDERED HERE AND NOW THEY HAVE STAFF PROWLING THE CAMPGROUND AND MAKING SURE PEOPLE CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES WHEN PRIOR IT WAS DISGUSTING 9. You smell feeces 24.7 10. They had someone stay there who got very aggressive and had mental issues and threw things at our trailer for no reason and asked my 9 year old son if he wanted to go over to her trailer …:::: and staff knew how she was and didn’t do much. Didn’t even apologize to us about it. The view from our trailer was disgusting parts , broken picnic tables etc everywhere in front of the garage. There’s only 2 showers you can use out of 4….. and the floors and disgusting in them and the piping and there’s mold at the top ….. expect to find all the toilets to be filled with poop or puke ..:: if you took a UV light to the toilet you would see how disgusting it truly is I caught a severe uti and now recovering. The water is disgusting here my kids and I ended up sick 4x since being here And this campground will gossip about your business to others. You guys make how much and can’t even fix your things ???? Like your gate is fobbed but you don’t even hand one out for your residence .,, it doesn’t ever close …:: maybe the shooting wouldn’t have happened if it was closed!? Super nosy Super irresponsible Not impressed and can’t believe I stayed this long I know 3 others who I communicated with daily and said nope this isn’t right and left at the exact same time. HIGHLY HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. I have more photos but can upload only so much But showers have been out of service for months maybe longer!!!!!!!!!!! I’m at another campground who finally has room and it’s luxury , water and sewer hook ups!! And and it’s gated and locked up 24.7 you can only get in with a fob …. Like these people care …..mountain view doesn’t (Only when someone gets murdered)

First thing upon arrival the lady at the front desk was helpful with finding us a site that would accommodate our camper, we had pre booked a site but it was to small. After that things went downhill, cops were there within first 24 hours, smells like sewer throughout campground, only 1 shower working in men’s bathroom and toilets are either plugged or to dirty to use. Someone tried stealing my truck at 2:30 in the morning. They are aware there is an issue with theft but can’t be bothered to get gate fixed(broken for at least 6 months). If you want a place to stay while working in the area this is the place to go. If you want to have a family vacation go somewhere else.

I found the previous negative reviews to be completely wrong. They had me hesitating to stay here, but found the front office answered their phone the multiple times I called. We were here for the Calgary Stampede and they had a pancake breakfast you could buy since pancakes go hand-in-hand with the stampede. They had a school bus set up to shuttle you over for $10 one way per person. or $20 RT per person. Parking at the event was $30 if you could find it and have a car. Uber and Lyft were charging $60 one way. It was very convenient to have the shuttle. They let us check in at 11 before check in so we could grab their first shuttle down at 11:30am. They had two drop off and pick up times. Taking you there either 11:30am or 5:30pm and pickup where they drop you off at 6:30pm or midnight. Worked great. I would recommend dropping a pin where you are dropped off to help you find your way back as there are a lot of people and can look different than when you arrived. We had a pull through with full hook ups and it more than fit all 65 ft of us. The bathrooms are cleaned everyday between 11-1:30. They are dated, but not filthy at all. Trash was completely cleaned up and in trash receptacles and this is their busiest time during the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede. I found nothing in the previous reviews to be accurate. The sites aren’t that tight. I have been in much tighter ones. I recommend this park. Good WiFi too. Better than most campgrounds.
