It's a quiet little campground, and visitors are always friendly. Playground for the kids, washrooms are always clean. Lots of walking trails along the Elbow River.

Paddy’s flats is awesome. I almost don’t want to post a review so we can keep this gem to ourselves. The sites are big. The attendants are friendly. The bathrooms are really clean. They have firewood for a good price. It’s is great if you like mountain biking and camping and the river is dang cold but it feels great after a full day of activities!! Lots of trails around! It’s a first come first serve site.

We like this campground very well maintained the Pit Toilets are very clean The entrance off the highway does need some attention as it has huge potholes and you almost have to stop to get thru them so be aware when traffic is coming from the opposite direction

Very quiet camping spot, great for tenting also. We arrived around 8pm and the firewood truck came around about 3 times which is great for people who ran out of wood. We went on Friday-Saturday of may long and it was very busy but so quiet. The washrooms were also pretty clean. I’d definitely recommend camping here. We didn’t get to enjoy the paths to the creek but we will next time! 😊😊😊😊
