The premium pull-through site (194) we had was very long. Wi-Fi is available for a fee: didn't buy, used our Telus AirCard. Hot springs and swimming pool is at extra cost. Rate is Canadian price and somewhat over priced, especially when everything is at additional cost. Overall it's better than most RV Resorts in Canada. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a "destination park" for the most part, with the pool fed by the hot springs being the focal point. Prices have increased quite a bit over the last few years (C$55 for deluxe sites, C$10 to use the pool). The RV park is accessed by a narrow road with one hairpin turn. The interior roads are paved and in good condition. Sites are " unserviced ", "standard", and "deluxe", and there is a huge difference. Unserviced sites are generally tucked into the woods with gravel access over some steep terrain. Standard sites are gravel with paved access, with some steep access points. Deluxe sites are all paved (access and site) with a paved patio for the picnic table and lots of grass between the sites. All of the deluxe sites are full service (E/W/S), and 70% are 20/30/50 amp (the remainder are 20/30 amp). Standalone tenting is not allowed, but tents can be pitched on an RV-occupied site as expansion room. Washrooms and laundry are clean, centrally located, and possibly a bit undersized if the RV park had been full. Satellite access is possible from the row of sites closest to the footbridge to the pool. We didn't run into any hotel vs. RV bias; staff and other guests were uniformly helpful and friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Typical canadian campground. Small sites, excellent views. Americans will want the 'deluxe' sites as they have a bigger pad and 50AMP service. Showers are terrible - no temperature control or volume control. You push a button on the wall and get about 10 seconds of water. Everything is extra$$ - and the locals tend to stare and point a lot. Good stopping place on the way to Banff and Lake Louise. Nice hot springs on the park but it costs you $7 to use. Overall they go out of their way to let you know that the hotel (resort) guests are more important than the campers. We couldn't wait to get back to the USA. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Unless you are in the "Premium" part of the park (at the price of $41) you will be in just a so-so park and not one that would be "the highest rated park in Canadian Rockies". The spa you get to use is a "public pool/spa" and is crowded and has babies in it in diapers...who knows what is 'in the water' by the evening. The condition of the spa is poor (peeling paint/concrete). Lifeguards didn't seem to mind the babies in the spa. Also, in addition to the $41/night you have to pay extra to use the spa/pool...a hefty sum for a family...we paid $7 each to enter once a day...daily rate was $10 each. It all adds up! The guests of the resort use a different pool/spa. Internet kiosk in the laundry ($1 for 10 minutes), but WiFi available in the lounge of the main building. (Free) I wouldn't bother to stop here again. I'd stay longer at Whistler or Lake Louise! We camped here in a Motorhome.
The Fairmont Hotsprings Resort RV park is a very well maintained campground with almost all the amenities you could want. There is a large hotsprings pool plus separate cold water diving and lap pools closeby to the RV park. Hot showers and washroom facilities are available as well as an upscale restaurant in the lodge. The deluxe sites are located more in the open area of the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Fairmont Hot Springs is much less crowded than Radium, so it's a good place to relax. This park is right on the highway, so expect some noise. Night traffic is very modest, so it is livable. All of the W\E\S hookups are right by the road, but there are many sites well off the road and very quiet, very private. Internet works well in the several sites near the road, but not the more remote ones! Would stay again for a short stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent family campground. Pool is right behind the office and is nice and looks clean. The office staff are friendly and helpful. There is plenty of parking space and access to the sites in the front area of the park. The back section next to the river looked at little bit cramped for large rigs. They don't seem to have many full hook up sites. Water pressure isn't bad, and the sites are clean. The free WiFi was fast and worked at our site which was directly in view of the office, but was told that it didn't reach all sites. Very convenient access directly off the highway - traffic noise was a little bothersome at busy times, but not too inconvenient. They have fire pits and grassy sites, with gravel pads. There is a small playground area for kids. Overall, I would recommend this park as an economical alternative in town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
