A year-round Kananaskis campground with sites from unserviced to full hookups, a camp centre with store, café and showers, and plenty for kids. Showers run on tokens and extra tents cost extra.
Mount Kidd RV Park sits among trees in Kananaskis with mountain views, river access and trails running through, and it stays open all year. Campers describe it as quiet and well kept, and one visitor who grew up camping there said it is as beautiful as ever. Bears pass through, and one recent guest watched a mother black bear and three cubs wander by morning and evening.
Site options run from basic sites with a picnic table and fire pit through power only, power and water, and full hookups. The camp centre has a shop, café, gift shop, propane sales, washrooms and showers, and gets repeated praise for being clean and warm. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, and one guest said they went out of their way to return a lost wedding ring.
It is a strong pick for families. Reviewers mention a spray park, several playgrounds, a games room with pool and ping-pong tables, an arcade, ice cream and evening amphitheatre shows. Cyclists use the trails through the site, a golf course is next door, and in winter there is a cross-country ski network nearby.
Showers need tokens bought from machines in the camp centre, so bring small change or a card. One camper was frustrated that fees are charged per camping unit, so a second tent costs extra even if the group size is the same. Staffing is lighter over the Christmas period.
