Spacious campground, our site huge, in open prairie. Great setting. Firepit (fire ban), picnic table, serviced but water off, shelter available (not used), Light hangers. CAD 86.00 (expensive!).

I ended up reserving a campground because I was coming from Winnipeg and didn't know what the conditions/set up were like. I paid $70+ online. I arrived when the visitors center was closed, and the self registration sheets asked for $16 per person per night. I called to inquire about this and they said it was outdated. However during the off season I don't think anyone checks to see how much you pay per se. I was a bit annoyed that some people paid for less.
The campground itself is exposed and made up of gravel. No trees at all. I stayed here for two nights. the first night was cold but fine. Second day I left my tent up all day and I came back from a hike and it almost blew away. Some people were nice and staked down my tent. I wasn't aware of this but they encouraged me to use the Coulee center and stay there overnight. And that's exactly what I did. I hammocked at the center because it was so windy and cold

Windy spot. We were in the overflow area.

Un des plus beau camping où j’ai été. Si vous voulez vous sentir seul au monde, sur une planète encore intouché par l’humain (de type jurassique park) je vous le recommande.

As others have said, a very nice place. Amazing sun set, moon rise, sun rise. Did a nice hike - Broken Hills.

Windy when we were here - and nothing to break the wind.

Amazing place - so quiet and the views are incredible. We arrived late without a booking so just drove into the overflow area and camped there. It’s a massive field, we were the only people in it (on a Friday night in august). There’s a building open 24/7 which is also unmanned but great to avoid bugs when cooking at night, it also has electricity sockets and a kettle. You can help yourself to a map here too. Helpful as the visitor centre is in Val Marie and we didn’t drive in that way. There aren’t any checkpoints to buy permits within the park that we could see, though I did see some places where you could leave money.

Nice Bational Park Campground. We don't need hook up, so we stay at the overflow area which is very huge and there was only 3 other campers. We paid 16.75.

Really interesting place to explore. We stayed one night, but did a nice hike. The terrain is so different from the rest of Canada. Cacti, Wild Bison and Lizards!? If you’re driving in at night, like we did, you have to drive slow, there are deer and antelope everywhere!

Great site - paid official park campground. Mostly serviced sites, cabins and some unserviced.

Really nice campground. Since its in the grasslands there are no bushes between the lots, so no real privacy but enough space between each one. Pit toilets were clean, but no shower. There is wifi when you go near the little office in the camp. Watch out for the little prairie dogs that are not afraid of humans anymore, some even climbed on my foot! Two people in a tent cost us 40$

As described, but checking in to remove the "no dogs" symbol as the park welcomes dogs on leash.
