We absolutely loved our stay! The bed is so comfortable, they provided extra blankets and towels. The entire campsite had everything you needed from a stove, lighters, water, a shower, etc. The owner went above and beyond when we had some things taken but everything was promptly returned. It’s secluded and quiet and absolutely beautiful!

Fantastic place! Was beautifully laid out, calm and quiet, just what the doctor ordered! My son (6 years old) had a great time as did I.

This was a great experience. Almost perfect. The view was absolutely amazing and the sound of the rushing river was very relaxing. It was great to have all the cooking things supplied. The tent was very clean and we had great sleeps on the bed which was very comfy. I suggest bringing a tarp to put behind the shelter because the shower and bathroom is right there looking in to your site. A few things could be improved. First, the rain shelter did leak a little bit which wasn’t great for the rainy weather we had. Also, one zipper in the tent was broken so it was quite difficult to close. Unfortunately the shower only worked once before breaking and it wasn’t fixed by the time we left.
Overall a great experience and all things that could be fixed were liveable!

Amazing glamping experience! They have really put a lot of thought into providing everything you could need! The beds were comfortable and very warm through the night. It was a very relaxing spot right alongside the river and was an easy site to locate and access! The stairs down to the site are a bit steep if you have mobility concerns but otherwise great spot for young and old! Our children loved the site and it made for easy ‘camping’ with little kids! We will be back :)

Our stay at the glamping tents was so lovely! The location, nestled right by the river, made for the most peaceful and relaxing environment. Falling asleep to the sound of the water and waking up to such natural beauty was a great experience.
The tents were incredibly cozy and beautifully decorated, with the little details thought out. They had everything we needed, from comfortable bedding to all the essentials, making it feel like the perfect blend of camping and luxury.
We loved how remote and private it felt, yet it was only a short drive to the charming town of Bragg Creek. The town itself was full of cute stores and wonderful restaurants and cafés, so we had the best of both worlds – tranquility in nature and access to great food and shopping.
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and connect with nature. Highly recommend!

The place was amazing with beautiful view of Elbow river. Nice and clean tent, equipped with kitchen utensils. No heater or drinking water, don't forget to bring your own.

First time glamping and will be doing it again. The set up was perfect! They have provided everything you could need.
We had a pretty intense storm roll through while we were there. The tent stayed completely dry! They have provided a canopy the covers the picnic table and it held up to the strong winds.
You are right at the river and have a can walk onto the rocks. The only thing to be aware of is you will need to carry your stuff down a set of stairs and to your site.
It was the perfect get away, they have put a lot of effort into providing what you will need for your stay.

We loved our time away so much! The tent was beautifully set up, the bed was very comfy, and the site had everything we could have ever needed. We especially loved that the river was only a few feet away. Nothing beats falling asleep to the sound of the running water. We rode our bikes into town and played a round of golf at Wintergreen Golf & Country Club. We had an overall amazing time and Jenna was awesome. She always replied very quickly and provided all the information we needed. We will definitely be back again!

Comfy beds, lots of blankets to keep warm at night. Rustic is a good way to describe it but with the right amount of necessities to keep you comfortable.
I would bring your own camping chairs if you have comfy ones.
The walk down is steep but short. If mobility is an issue, I would get someone to help you. Good experience overall.

It was a great private getaway place for my husband and I. We liked how close we were to Bragg Creek to go have dinner.

Staying at the dome was lovely! The décor was very cute and bohemian. The shower set up was very clever and much appreciated after a warm and sweaty day outside! The views were spectacular from the dome, opening up the blinds every morning was such a treat. It got quite cold at night but the number of blankets provided was perfect.
We only wished more details were provided about the site, such as the items that were provided at the stay: towels, propane stove, kitchen utensils/supplies, pots/pans, camp chairs, bear box, cooler, hand soap, dish soap, sponge etc. If we had known this ahead of time, we would've packed and prepared accordingly! There's a whole dining space behind the headboard that was not included in the photos. We missed out on cooking meals ourselves at the site (which is okay, the hamlet of Bragg Creek is a short drive away and the businesses there are lovely!).
Lots of wildlife if you wake up early enough, the morning of our check-out date we saw horses, deer and ground squirrels! Magical for our last day in the area :)

This was our first visit to this site and it won't be our last. Right next to a fast flowing creek that soothed the soul, the sit was fully set up and prepared with more than expected. We plan to return as soon as possible. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

I loved how remote it was, the glamping sites are fairly private and because you are right in the river, you mainly hear the beautiful water sounds. We loved that the site had a portable stove and a very nice kitchen set as well as an outdoor sink and well taken care of outhouse. The tent itself was very clean and comfortable. It gets very hot during the day but at night it cools off nicely. The site personnel we did not see in person but were very helpful and responded to messages. We loved the experience and would definitely recommend this site for the glamping tents.

We absolutely loved the dome. It's super comfortable and equipped with all the essentials. The view of the river from the bed is amazing and we were lucky to see some deer in the early morning. The tarped picnic table was very useful as we did get rain. Jenna was very quick and helpful in answering our questions. We will definitely visit in the winter for a different experience.

It was our first family glamping experience, and we really enjoyed it. The weather was a bit chilly and windy, but we had a great time with our dogs. Jenna was a truly considerate host as she accommodated our side requests very well. The glamping spot is cozy, and it was nice to walk around the campground. We will definitely go back in winter, and perhaps try the other tent!

It was a good experience, one I wouldn't trade. But the ad saying that you will hardly see your neighbour's is far from true. There's a small wooden pallet separating the camps and that's all. Also, the outhouse hasn't been emptied in a while and was rank, we both gagged. Normally I'm ok in an outhouse but this one was bad.

Amazing camping with many amenities included. Host Jenna was awesome to work with answering many questions I had and being very accommodating. For anyone who wants to experience camping but not sleep in a tent on an air mattress, I would highly recommend. Only thing is it can get cold at night (especially when we went in late September), so prepare with lots of clothes and request extra blankets (which were happily provided). Or find a portable heater that is battery operated. All in all an amazing experience that I will definitely be booking again.

It was a wonderful time. 😊 Jenna has most things you need there and the tent is set up so lovely. We LOVE the site on the water and the bed is VERY comfortable. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. The shelter and the tent are both set up well to enjoy even when it was raining! We will stay again for sure! We actually loved it so much this was our second weekend in a row!
The few potholes in the road were smaller than my back alley in the city and my small little Kia Rio had no problem going over them to the glamping. Nothing bad, just a gravel road with a few divits in it. In the main campsite area there was part over by the RV area that got ripped up pretty bad this season because the RVs went through the wet mud earlier in the season and made deep rivets, but to get to all the glamping (tents and domes), tent camping and most of the campsite loop you are fine. 9/10 of the camping loop is manageable and you can easily avoid this section.

My husband and I stayed in the Equinox tent for two nights and were so impressed how thoughtfully the campsite was put together. Everything you could ask for is there for relaxing and cooking. Being next to the river was mágical! We can’t wait to return.

I would highly recommend this yurt, it is beautiful and tranquil! You are right along the river, tucked away from the rest of the campground. There are other yurts around you, but with the sound of the river you can't hear anyone. The town of Bragg Creek is about a 30 minute walk away, and there are lots of hiking trails in the area. Not a whole lot for kids to do, so maybe not the best location for young children.

Our stay at the Elbow River Dome couldn’t have been more perfect. Everything is intentionally and thoughtfully designed, and we had everything we needed. It was a perfect getaway, and we highly recommend.

Our stay here was SO lovely. The domes are gorgeous and filled with the basics. The wood stove was such a cozy addition and kept us warm all evening and overnight. We can’t wait to visit back in the summer too!

We really enjoyed our time on this campsite. The tent was great - very spacious and all of the cooking equipment had everything you needed. Great spot!
As we stayed mid-September, the nights were a bit chilly. I would recommend to bring some sort of portable heater if you're planning to stay in the fall months. That was no fault but our own though. Would definitely stay here again!
