We had a great experience with Greg! Communication with him was excellent — he always responded very quickly and was very helpful. He welcomed us at check-in and made sure everything was ready for our stay. The campsite was very quiet and peaceful, and having a portable bathroom and garbage disposal available at the site was very convenient. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place!

Greg accommodated us with very short notice and with us arriving late. He also gave us a very nice site. The property was beautiful with great views, and it really helped us out to snag a good camping spot like this so close to Waterton last minute. Would recommend, thanks Greg!

We instant-booked Greg’s campsite after our travel plans changed at the last minute and we had to find somewhere to stay ASAP. My boyfriend and I decided to head to Waterton since it was the only place without rain, but every affordable hotel and campground was completely booked. We’d never used Hipcamp before, but Greg’s property came up on Google, so we booked three nights, and honestly, it was one of the best decisions of our trip! Greg is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We loved our evening chats and listening to his stories. He’s funny, genuine, and made us feel right at home. Since our plans changed so suddenly, we forgot firewood. Greg sold us some for only $10, and despite a few reviews saying otherwise, it burned great, there was lots of it, and it was a much better deal than buying wood in town. The property is only about 20 minutes from Waterton with beautiful mountain views. The bats kept the mosquitoes away, so evenings around the campfire were actually enjoyable! We were even lucky enough to see the aurora and spend hours stargazing under an incredibly clear sky. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We originally stayed because we had no other options, but we’d gladly come back just for Greg’s hospitality. Thank you for making our trip so memorable, we’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Waterton!

Greg was a great host and the camping spot was really quiet while we were there. Very conveniently located for exploring Waterton area. The only downside is that you are in a bit of a valley, so there are no mountain views.

We had a fantastic stay at Greg’s campsite! The place is incredibly peaceful, with plenty of space between sites, which makes it perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. It’s only about a 20-minute drive to Waterton Lakes National Park – an ideal location for exploring the area. Greg is a wonderful host: very welcoming, helpful, and always ready to give great tips. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely come back!

The host was welcoming, and the site itself was good, with a beautiful lake nearby. However, we were surprised to find that the site was also booked by two other groups during our stay. We had let the host know we would arrive late, but when we got there around 9 p.m., another group of three arrived around 11 p.m. to stay for the night, and we also learned that a larger group of 20 was booked to arrive the following day. All the other guests were friendly, and we didn't have any issues with them, but the listing for site 6 did not mention that it would be a shared space.

Looking for a camping spot in Waterton N.P. village campground was impossible for us. We found Greg’s place: Mariposa. Only 25 min away from Waterton. Quietness, is the word. Beautiful sunset in the prairie. Greg’s kindness, good humor, warmth and hospitality are outstanding. Thank you so much Jesus&Izaskun
