Mountain View Camping — Reviews

My wife, daughters and I stayed for 2 nights while the girls were playing pre-season ringette. The staff were friendly and helpful, the sight was clean when we arrived and we had a couple of good nights sitting around a wood fire! It was the perfect choice for us to combine some ringette and camping before winter arrives!

Friendly and helpful staff

This campground is a very poor place to stay. Many unkept seasonal campers. So sad as you are parked in like sardines. No place to sit outside as your neighbors sewer hose is right out your main door. Our neighbor didn’t have a screw in sewer connection, so it smelled pretty bad during our stay. Maybe ok for a quick one night stay. But no more.

Staff not friendly at all - Uninviting feeling when arrived Campground was quite tho Would not be a No1 pick for me

Showers were very poor, need upgrade. It was outdated Location great because of camper return nearby

Just a campground. No real bells and whistles. Mini golf was ok, but the mosquitoes were so bad we couldn’t enjoy the game. And speaking of mosquitoes, you couldn’t even sit outside your camper unless you wanted to be covered in bites. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had a problem with our brake control and the gentleman on late duty( we left at 4am) came out to make sure we were ok. I would probably stay here again if I ever camp in Calgary again. Very long drive for us as we live in Iowa.

Staff were lovely but absolutely no view of the mountains

The campground is in pretty bad shape but we didn’t have any problems with our utilities on the site. We didn’t use any of the facilities (bathrooms, laundry). It’s close to the city of Calgary, but don’t let the name fool you- your minimum of an hour to the mountains.

Great location, very clean and well kept.

Staff helpful. The showers need an upgrade. No place to change in private.

the sanitary building does need an upgrade

I have only one star because (1) no water pressure, bare 20 psi; (2) after flushing our own black water tank and hitching up, I needed to use the public washroom but EVERY toilet was plugged; (3) front gate was broken, we were told there would be a security guard but there wasn’t, people were driving in and out all night, including someone setting up at 3 AM; (4) cellular coverage was marginal, mostly no connectivity whatsoever and the campground does not offer any wifi, making it impossible for those of us who have to work while travelling.

Mini golf is overgrown to the point where it’s hard to play! Told on the phone that I could check in early in order to make the shuttle to the Stampede, then told on arrival that it was an extra $20.

Campground was nice, but sites were small. It seemed like the sites were once larger and then reduced in size. The septic plug was in the middle of the site, as was a tree, which made setting up camp a bit awkward. The office/store was great, as was the playground. Staff were friendly.

the only positive was the staff, they were friendly and knowledgeable. Negatives: Bathrooms/washhouse needs a lot of improvements,/upgrades. Only 1 shower (plus a handicap shower) was working, they were archaic, rusty, peeling walls, hot water was not consistent. We were surprised there wasn't wi-fi. So many travellers from out of country and Canada were at there wits end .The campsites were not maintained after one unit checked out, grass was not cut, area was not raked, fire pits were not cleaned. Hopefully the company will do some much needed renovations.

We stay at spot 64A the first 3 nights then 79 the last 3 nights. Every day the weather was perfect, clear blue sunny skies with little to no wind. The only time it was raining or there was a thunderstorm was late at night, early mornings before we left our campsite and or when we were driving somewhere. Other than that the weather was perfect. Would definitely stay there again.
