Stoney Park Campgrounds
A rustic campground on Stoney Nakoda Nation land west of Calgary with big foothill views and large sites, but many recent reports of dirty toilets, broken showers and roaming dogs.
What visitors say
Stoney Park Campgrounds sits on the Stoney Nakoda Nation, a little over an hour west of Calgary, and the scenery is what nearly everyone agrees on. Campers describe rolling hills, wildflowers and wide views of the foothills and river valleys. Sites are large and fairly open, and horses and bison are sometimes seen on the land.
Beyond the views, experiences vary a lot. Some guests found the staff friendly and helpful, including one host who moved a couple to a quieter site and another who made it easy to add people to a group booking at a fair price. Others describe a very hands-off operation where you're largely left to sort yourself out.
It suits self-contained RVers and groups who want space and don't need facilities. Several reviewers put it plainly: if you bring your own toilet, shower and water, it can be a lovely stay. One regular says the key is to treat it like off-grid camping.
The complaints are frequent and recent. Many visitors found the pit and portable toilets overflowing or without paper, most showers out of order, no potable water and the dump station poorly kept. Several mention the owner's dogs roaming off leash, including incidents with food and small children, plus garbage piling up at the entrance. One RVer reported only 15-amp power. The service road has deep potholes, and a train horn can be heard from the sites. Come fully self-sufficient, drive slowly and secure your food.
