Camping & Hiking · Alberta
An LGBTQ+ owned and operated campground in Alberta with a creek beach, restaurant, motel and a restored gold rush-style village. Guests praise the hosts and social events; most RV sites are unserviced.
Eagle Creek Campground & Event Centre sits on a running creek in rural Alberta, a little off the beaten path. Alongside the campsites is an old-time western village of historic and handcrafted buildings, which reviewers describe as a gold rush town. Several guests describe it as an LGBTQ+ owned and operated campground, and they talk about how safe and welcoming it feels for everyone.
The hosts are the standout. Reviewer after reviewer describes the owners and manager greeting them, checking in through the weekend and finding them the right spot, whether that was a quieter corner or a move into the motel when tenting on May Long didn't work out. Buildings and grounds are described as clean and well kept, and store deliveries arrive promptly.
Long weekends are built around events, which are included with registration: DJ sets on the creek beach, bonfire dance parties and a burger brunch, plus Saturday dinner and Sunday brunch at the small restaurant. It's a social place where campers wander between campfires. There are also rustic cabins and a cosy motel, and American travellers on the Alaska route have found it worth the detour.
The drawbacks are few, but mostly practical. One guest noted that most RVs have to dry camp, since serviced sites are limited, and that another washroom and shower building was still being planned. Event weekends are busy and lively, so if you want peace, ask for a quieter corner.
