Okotoks Lions Sheep River Campground

We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and well maintained the grounds are and how spacious each RV site is! Each has a grassy area with a picnic table and a fire pit. We love RV parks like this where you have plenty of breathing room between you and your neighbors. The staff were kind and helpful. Gate code required to enter plus a police station across the street all helped us to feel safe. As a family with young kids, we especially appreciated the wonderful playground just outside the RV Park (just a short walk across a parking lot) which sits adjacent to the Sheep River. Our kids loved the playground, which is frequented by many of the locals, and had a great time trying to catch little fish along the bank of the river. There is a paved path along the river too for kids to scooter or bike on too. Overall, great location being about 30 minutes south of Calgary. Loved being able to leave the busy city and enjoy the relaxed vibe at this campground. It’s conveniently located near major stores and restaurants, and coming from Southern California, we appreciated the racial diversity we saw here and in Calgary.

Only two issues (and one is a big one if you are trying to work remotely or do some Netfix binging):

1. Wifi is not free. You get the first hour free then you can pay by the day or by the week. If I’m remembering correctly, it’s around $5 a day and $15 a week. I paid for one day and it initially worked fine but had trouble with it later on. Ended up just using my data plan.

2. No laundry facilities on site. Nearest laundromat is a 4 minute drive away and is open from 7 am - 7 pm.

*Since we were visiting from the States, we drove to the nearby Walmart to buy sim cards since we were also having issues with international roaming.
