Stories from the community

Wild Turkey Nest Campsite

22 ft campervan

1 night at Blacktail Ridge

The place is amazing and very well maintained. Landscape is beautiful and facilities are very easy to reach. We saw a beautiful turkey too! The hosts are super nice. Absolutely reccomended.

Blacktail Ridge

3 nights at Blacktail Ridge

I camp almost every weekend in the spring and summer and Blacktail Ridge is hands down the best camping spot I have had in Canada/US in the 3 years I have been here. The sites themselves are massive. Most other campsites try to cram 5 sites into the size of Blacktails sites. The toilets and showers are clean, hot and very well maintained. The firewood is dry, great quality and burns hot for hours. The property overall is spectacular, clean and green. Best of all are the hosts! Dean had a lifetime of knowledge and shared some valuable info on the local area that helped me a ton. Debbie was quick to reply to any questions I had and Zach gave me a great introduction to the property. I will go back and stay here every time I'm in the area and am looking forward to it! Thanks Dean, Deb and Zach for setting the bar:)
