Property is absolutely stunning surrounded by beautiful scenery. Abbey on the front desk is extremely helpful. They let me park my car for a few hours when I went for a cycling. They’re very helpful people. I highly recommend this place if you wanna get away from crowded situations like Banff and other areas which are overpopulated this is a perfect paradise.

The Glamping Tent is a nice concept but not so nice when the temperature dropped down to 5 degrees and the heater stopped working.

I didn’t like the fumes from the kerosene heater. The heater should be vented to the outside. I feel that signage could be improved. It is easy to miss the first loop. Our site was 65 and we missed the first turn and ended up driving the entire loop. Further to that issue - there should be a sign at the entry point to sites 65, 66 etc. to indicate that theses sites are private and not an access point to the River - especially at the River itself. After people were leaving the river to access the main road, they traipsed through our camp site with no respect for our private space. I found the staff very polite and helpful. When I bought some wood the young man took it to my vehicle. When my tire was low, the girls helped me get the tire pressure back to normal. I always felt supported.

great experience..a bit on the pricey side ...not enough space in the showers..they were always full and very dirty...the trappers tent was beautiful however I didn't sleep well thinking that the kerosene heaters in the tents has a sticker that stated please use with door open! small of the kerosene hung in the air like a fog you could taste in your mouth. tent across from us had a baby that cried all night long for two nights straight. could not park at the campsite itself - had to park down the road and that is not easy when you have to lock up anything that is an attractant to bears..
