Redstreak Campground

This campground gets great reviews, and I think a lot of that has to do with the nice and easy accommodations for tent campers and cyclist campers in particular. That said, we hated our experience here. We camp A LOT (albeit in the USA), and our experience here was just not what we were hoping for at all. Our site was not at all private, quite unlevel, tight to maneuver with neighbors present (we have a small 20' teardrop trailer), confusing to navigate even with a map, and the facilities were far and pretty gross even though there were flushing toilets, showers, and sinks. Our other Canadian campground experiences on our 2+ week roadtrip were far superior and enjoyable, so I don't think this was just a cultural expectations issue. To each their own, but we wanted to leave and started hunting for hotels unsuccessfully as soon as we got there and were eager to leave.

This was a quiet campground with great access to trails and plenty of beauty without leaving the campsite. The bathrooms and showers were well-maintained and comfortable.

We ran the Juniper trail from the campground, got to the road, went through the underpass to the hot springs, then went through the hot springs building area to get to the redstreak trail back to the campground. A great loop with some significant elevation change.

Other than that, it's what you would expect at a national park.

We camped here 8/24/22 for 2 nights.

We arrived without reservations midweek but we were able to stay for 2 nights in the same site in loop E. It's a nice quiet loop by itself with19 dry sites with it's own restroom.

A national park pass is required to camp here. The steep road to the campground gate is wide and paved. There are a variety of loops and options here, back in, pull through, pull out, dry, partial and full hookups. The campground roads are also paved with some pot holes, but the sites are dirt and not always level, tall rigs watch for low hanging branches. Picnic tables, fire pits, unlimited wood supply with a paid fire permit unless there is a fire ban. Overall the park is tired, but we really enjoyed it here!

The dump station has 3 lanes with potable water. There are trails for hiking/mountain biking to viewpoints and of course the hot springs.

From visiting attractions to enjoying the forest on walking. Our camping experience was amazing, chasing animals during dark nights, exploring places, meeting new people, and finding our own dinner everything was great. It is one of the unforgettable experiences and I wish to get a chance to go there again. If you are a hunting enthusiast you can even get a hunting license from safe shooter academy. https://safeshooter.ca/

I booked a site fairly last minute the weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving and still was able to score a lovely site with full hookups.

This campground is on the side of a hill, with lovely trees and views, and ple to of bighorn sheep.

The site itself was very large and set among the trees. FHU sites at national parks are hard to come by, but it was nice to enjoy the ammenties without sacrificing a national park experience.

We stayed one night at Redstreak on our way from Montana to the Icefields Parkway. It was an easy stop just off highway 93. We had a full hookup site that was a nice large pull through with some trees but good for solar. Not much privacy between sites but that didn’t bother us. Would definitely stay again if visiting Radium Hot Springs and Kootenay NP, or needing an easy overnight.

The park has seen better days
Bathrooms although appear clean during covid was looking worn as did our pick Nic table and pad .
We had full service pull though site
Fairly quiet but not very private sites
All you can burn wood is a bonus
Very nice staff working here
I would not call this a destination campground but a good location for doing stuff in area

We stayed for two nights in mid-September. The campground was very quiet. Unfortunately the showers were not open because of Covid but other than that it was a beautiful place to tent. Our particular site was huge and set down at the bottom of a little slope. There is an extra charge for having a fire of eight dollars but you get all the wood you want. Some nice hikes very close by

A forested campground with hiking trails to the hot springs and the town of Radium Hot Springs. We loved our time in this quiet campground. Easy access to the centralized toilets and showers in the E-loop. Although we arrived to a long check-in line the attendants streamlined the process and we were through within a few minutes.

The access road is a paved steep road which the truck was able to climb easily. My wife and I road our bikes into town and on the climb out we regretted the decision. The truck made it seem easy... it was not.

Verizon (Telus) 1-bar LTE. T-mobile (Bell) 2-bars LTE. The WeBoost really helped shore up the signal to make this a viable work area for us as digital nomads. The beautiful library in town also has good internet speeds.
