Great first time experience in a trapper tent. Heater was a bonus as mornings were chilly with the sun behind the mountain. Staff were friendly and helpful.
I like the location, near the river, kids had so much fun. Camping without bugs/ spiders are hard stuff, kids get scared of them.
But so far this place is convenient for us.

I loved how easy check in and check out were and that I could do them easily by phone. The campsite was quiet even though it was fairly visit. The areas around our site were beautiful. Would definitely recommend to others.
We stayed in a family Tipi. It was awesome. Campsites are quite big. Super clean area. Close to the river which has lots of nice seats to just chill there. WE were hiking Mist mountain so this was a perfect location to stay at. Lots of great hikes close by. Troll falls which is a great family hike is close by. Kananaskis village is very close by too within 7 minutes drive. I highly recommend staying here. We went and checked out the Trappers tents too. All are very cool
We had a horrible experience at Sundance. We pre registered with the link provided but when we arrived we found the on site reception closed two hours earlier than was posted online. The phone number they had provided for 24 hour reception went to voicemail and we had no way to complete our check in. The level of organization and customer service is sorely lacking.

An easy location for family camping. Traffic can be a bit loud. Prices are quite high for what it is full glamping sites are compare to the same price spent for 2 nights here. That being said The sites are quite private. Lots of great places to explore nearby. They could definitely benefit from more showers with that amount of families staying there.(The lines are very long.)The staff were friendly and my kids enjoyed the store shopping for treasures.
The tent was a fair size and liked that it had a solid door. The site was well treed and aside from a lot of road noise, the area was relatively quiet. The bathrooms were far which was a bit of an inconvenience especially late at night. The main washrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. We usually stay at Pomeroy in Kananskis and were able to quickly hop over for supper and enjoy their property and amenities. It is a quick drive to Canmore and we were able to get out to the Nordic Center and SUP the lake.
