Tail Creek Campground

The first thing you need to know is that the campground has new management this year. Tam was super friendly and helpful. They are in the process of fixing things up, but generally we found the facilities great. We were unsure of the campground based on previous reviews, but I think a lot has changed with new managers.

We went in early July, and all the outhouses had hand sanitizer. The on-site dump station was also free. They were also setting up to sell a few treats, like ice cream and pop.

The location is great, right by the river, with a beach and a boat launch. The water was very warm and shallow, with lots of kids playing, and people sitting with their lawn chairs in the shallows.

They have non-potable water available, and there are showers (they were still officially closed when we were there due to COVID). No outside firewood is allowed, but you can buy it on site, and the price was reasonable.

The campground is well treed, although depending on the site, there may not be a lot of privacy. There are some great group sites, with room for several units, and some of these are back in their own section of trees. The sites along the river are open, as would be expected.

All in all a nice campground, with a reasonable 2-hour drive from Calgary.

Nice campground, little unorganized but it was a busy long weekend. Needs better river access and maybe some river floating information on where a person can float on the river from or to!!

BEAUTIFUL!! Running water for washroom and shower. I didn't use the shower. But if you dont want to travel out to the back country. This little gem just off the river is great. Mother Nature at your finger tips here!

We ended up staying in the Group Campsite side, which is next to the Baseball Diamonds. We stayed at the Wolfs Den Group Site and it was fully fenced off, allowing dogs to be off leash without worry. The site itself is okay, nothing special at all. Infact, they had outhouses but have been out of commission for the past 10 years and if someone dares to open one of the doors, it is the worst smell you have ever smelt in your life!!! The have group spots that are right along the river and we will be trying those out next time we visit Tail Creek Campground!

What a great spot and the best camp hosts. Great job on making the campground look great. They do the best to accommodate you as well. Will defiantly be going back a few more times this year.
