It is quiet and clean. It is larger than most KOA campgrounds that we have been too. There is lots of space between units. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very clean park. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This is one of the nicest parks we have stayed in. Two immaculate laundry rooms with front loaders cost $2.50 to wash and $1.25 to dry. The machines were very up to date. There are two dog parks, one with an agility course. There are no trees at all in this park. The sites were plenty long for big rigs. Our gravel site was level with grass on either side, 50 amps, water, sewer and cable TV with about 20 channels. The Wi-Fi slow until everyone has gone to bed. There was some hiway noise but not too bad or would give it a 10. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Everything is as stated in the reviews. Well kept, clean, quiet. The only two gripes I have is my site was about 3 degrees off level and the power and water pole was about 50' from the site. The staff were helpful. Wi-Fi worked well, but slow. I was here two nights. I would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here after leaving Jasper National Park. We parked next to the picnic shelter which had 3 new sinks and 3 electric double-burner stove tops which was great for us to cook and eat outside our van. The very clean bathrooms were in the basement of the main building which made them warm after the cold night. This was the best campground we stayed in during our two week trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We overnighted here. Its a pretty setting, in a meadow with horses and a stream nearby. Washrooms and showers were spotless and shower rooms had locked stalls. The WiFi and Cable TV worked well for us. We felt the layout of the entire park was well thought out. The interior roads and sites were gravel and our pull through site was level. It was a nice, quiet location even though it was fairly near the highway. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We found this campground utilizing our Big Rigs Best Bets book. Our coach is a 45' motorhome but we easily fit into this campground. We don't normally like KOA's; however this has to be one of the best in their entire system. Very well maintained. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is expensive but it was well designed, well run, and well maintained! WiFi was OK but slow and TV has 21 channels. Bathhouses were well laid out and spotless. This would make a good base for exploring Jasper National Park or William Switzer Provincial Park . No shade at all and in late August it was quite windy every day (stayed for 4 days). Staff told us the wind was not usual and dies down, in reality it got calm around 9pm and started again at 7am. We had to tie down our tent trailer to keep it steady! It was a bit chilly at night but the electric heater was wonderful. Toured the town and had dinners out as it was too windy to cook outside. No campfires allowed except for the communal one. There is also a camp kitchen for all to use but they were always busy with the tenters or people who stayed in the cabins. We camped here in a Tent Trailer We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

While this KOA is close to the entrance of Jasper National Park, it's actually 47 miles to the town of Jasper and the heart of everything you'd want to do/see in Jasper. Plenty of shopping in Hinton (the town 2 miles away) - but not much else there. The sites were plenty large, even for our 45er. Nice laundry room with front loading machines. The only things to complain about are the typical high price of KOAs, the Wi-Fi never worked, and they close/lock the gate at 11:30pm. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Yes this park is expensive but it was well designed, well run, and well maintained! The WiFi was good but slow (satellite, not cable). Bathhouses were well laid out and spotless. This would make a good base for exploring Jasper National Park. No shade but we were here in the middle of July and it was cold anyway! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Nice quiet place off the main road to Hinton. That's great, since the town is nothing to boast about other than a go between town. The downside is the price - quite high for a rural place. The parking is easy and the facilities are OK. The people that run the place are great. Nice and quiet for a KOA. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Everything is positive about this park except the wifi at our site was a bit weak. Entry road has been paved since the last review. No trees, but we like that because of our satellite. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This new KOA opened in 2003. Very well laid out. All sites are pull-thrus. Great views of the Rockies. Quiet. Off the road 1/2 mile. Only negative - a long, dusty road into the park. Roads and spaces are gravel. About 5 miles west of Hinton on the Yellowhead highway. A 45 minute drive to Jasper. 23 camping cabins and lots of tent spaces. Good, free Wi-Fi. Good 50 amp service. Spaces 5 to 14 and 51 to 53 are especially big-rig friendly [65 to 70 feet long]. I was on space 8 which is next to the playground. You may want to avoid this space unless you have small kids. A pilot takes you to your space. Will stay here again. Recommended. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great dry camping spot. We had a site overlooking the lake and near the playground. Our 29' trailer fit well into the site (especially when we corrected the concrete barrier). Free firewood. Self registration. Only outhouses available. Small beach access. Beautiful country to visit. 20 minutes from Hinton. Other campgrounds available in park but reserved at this one and was pleasantly surprised. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
