A campground to please everyone

Aug 27, 2024by Annette Lajoie
A great campground no matter the size of unit. Many sites are huge. The trees have grown so much they would need trimming along the roads and in sites to avoid units being scratched or awnings hooked. Hopefully Dwayne and Evelyn will be there next year. Great hosts! Will be returning!

We just completed another 2 week holiday on July 7, 2024 at Westcove Campground. We have gone there for the past 3 years and as always the campground is well maintained, clean, quiet and the managers, Dwayne and Evelyn are just the best. They always make time for coffee and a chat and will lend a helping hand whenever needed (if time allows). We have booked in for a couple more weekend this year and will be retuning again in 2025! Thanks Dwayne and Evelyn for a great stay again!

This was our first time there and the only disappointment is that we didn't book for a longer stay. While the beach and water aren't the greatest, the campsites are spacious and plenty of trees between. We are already talking about our next trip there and recommending you to our friends who are looking for new places to go. Thank you - until next time.

Awesome sites even better managers

Jul 8, 2024by Shawn Dinelle
This is a great place, the lake isn’t always good for swimming like a lot of lakes in Alberta however the sites and the splash park really make up for it. There is a site for every type of camper there everything from open sites with fields attached so you can keep an eye on the kids to very private sites that are completely treed in. On top of that you can’t beat the managers Evelyn and Dwayne the are some of the best folks I’ve met and have really made Westcove awesome.

Disappointed with the way we were treated.

Jul 1, 2024by Anonymous
Our daughter ended up unfortunately falling very ill in the middle of the night and we decided to leave very early 5:30 in the morning to take her to see the doctor as we couldn't get her to stop vomiting (she's 2). We were not aware of the locked gate after hours and the staff were not very polite when we unfortunately had to wake them to leave. We were told things like "you better not be lying" and "why do you have your trailer" our apologies but we thought it would be easiest to take everything with us as wait times can be unpredictable at the hospital and we weren't sure what was going on with her. I understand the need to lock the gate for safety however this would have been nice to know at check in and no one should be questioned when they explain a medical reason for needing to leave. I am a nurse practitioner and she was ill enough that in my professional judgement she needed evaluation at the hospital. Very disappointed with how we were treated. Sorry that we needed to wake you but it was necessary.

Jul 2, 2024 by Campground Manager
I am sorry you felt you were treated poorly. At no time did we want you to explain anything to us. We were surprised that you didnt leave your trailer at your site rather than try to park with it at the hospital. We would of let you leave the trailer at your site even if it would of meant that it would be there even after check out time. And i am sorry but we never said anything about lying. You are not the first people to wake us up at that time of the morning or even earlier. Sometimes with very strange reasons why they wanted out of the park. We would never question you about taking your child to the hospital. And also there is a large sign at the gate that says the times that the gates are locked 11pm to 8pm it is also in the pamphlet you were given and also on line where you registered and signed saying you read everything before completeing your registration.

Fabulous hosts!!!!

This is our second time to this amazing campsite. We love it here, so well maintained and quiet. Lots of room to do all the activities you want, the beautiful grassy areas and parks are perfect for games of Bocce and bean bag toss. Something to do for all age groups. Love it when Dwayne and Evelyn drive by almost every night around 10:45 to say goodnight to all the campers, very caring campground hosts. The sites are nice a big, and perfect for camping with friends, all close. Thanks again for another great week of camping, see you next year. Love all the MD parks in St. Paul, been to them all, well done, more campgrounds need to take a page out of your book.

Had a great quiet weekend there. Staff was very accommodating and week above and beyond to make us happy. Treated the kids extremely well. Something they’ll never forget. It’s too bad that the water has come down so far that it’s ruined the beach but further in the water was fine. Shower house could definitely be upgraded but was still clean. We’ll be back!

Jul 4, 2023by Marcel Amyotte
Really enjoyed our stay. Caretakers are so nice and friendly. They keep the campground, bathrooms, showers and play areas very clean. The splash park should be included in the fee for campers, bags are free to pick up after your pets but children have to pay to enjoy the splash park. Sites are private and surrounded by trees. Evelyn and Dwayne are amazing Will be returning The Amyotte gang

The campground attendants are what makes this experience second to none. They are super friendly and accommodating. My son talks about his adventures here year round. This year we went on another treasure hunt with our site map and hit up all the parks. The little cabin for kids is so amazing! We love it here and will return as often as Evelyn and her husband are running it.

This is such a well taken care of campground! The caretakers are extremely friendly and helpful, there are multiple playgrounds for kids plus the spray park was a wonderful treat for both the kids and the adults in +29 weather! Large, private sites and multiple group sites make this place an absolute gem and we will definitely go back again.

Unprofessional

Aug 1, 2022by Anonymous
This was our second time staying at Westcove the first time was good so we figured we'd go back since the kids had such a great time. This time wasn't the case, right from the second we got there they put a sour taste in our mouths. First they said we didn't check in, we were with a group and the first people to arrive were the ones who checked us in, he came up in a huff then realized we were checked in, no apology. Then apparently we got a noise complaint (the park was nearly empty) that was fine but the way the woman handled it was very unprofessional saying she was going to blacklist and evict us while all intoxicated.. The way they handled themselves and spoke to our group was completely uncalled for. When we were checking out my husband went to go talk to them, the woman wouldn't stop arguing with him and her husband was in the back laughing at my husband.. very very rude! We won't be coming back and we are contacting their superiors.

I am very sorry that you did not have a good time. I am very sorry you felt that we behaved poorly. But unfortunately we have to respond to all and any complaints. We received a complaint concerning the noise and behavior of your group at approximately 130 am and responded to it and again received two more complaints the next morning that your group was very noisy until between 4 and 5 am. Our park had a total of 40 some bookings. Your husband requested a phone number that he could call and I gave it to him. I also reminded him not to call before tuesday as monday is a holiday and the county office is closed. Once again sorry you feel you were treated poorly.

We stayed in the group site and had a ton of room, gazebo was perfect for cooking and hiding from the rain. Outhouses had motion sensored lights inside and maintained as best as a permanent public outhouse could be. It is clear Evelyn and her husband care about what they do and it shows in the maintenance of the campground.

Beautiful Trees But…..

Jul 5, 2022by Heather McLean
A few changes would be appreciated such as better lighting in the outhouses and when the campground is fully booked perhaps the $25 charge could be relaxed a little!

Jul 31, 2022 by Campground Manager
We will see what we can do about the lighting as far as the 25 dollars it is a fee for any extra units on the same site as the first.

Highly recommend!!!

Jul 23, 2021by Pamela Warner
Despite terrible weather and smoky conditions this was a fantastic camping weekend. Evelyn and her husband truly made this a memorable trip for our son. We spent the entire day “treasure hunting” in misty, cold and smoky weather and when they asked what we were doing they set out to hid treasure for him. It’s been nearly a week since being home and he is still telling everyone about the treasure he found. We will surly be returning ;)

No swimming, no pets allowed in common areas, expensive wood.

Jul 13, 2021by Dez Mudryk
Pros: Clean, friendly staff, splash park, close to town. Cons: Lake is so low it's a algae infested swamp, no swimming, fishing or usable beach. All common areas are off limits to dogs. Wood is $10 for small bundle of not great wood. Summary: There are so many nicer sites in the Lakeland but this one is great if you live close and want to commute.

We really liked this campground. Lots of trees, and privacy was great. The only complaint i have was that the splash park should be included in the rates as the lake is unusable. Nasty blue green algae makes it nasty to be in.

This was our first time at Westcove, we have been taking our granddaughter camping for five years now, and always go with my brother and his wife and one or two of his grandchildren. We like a lake and a playground for our activities. This met all our expectations, clean, lots of play areas, family friendly, and what kid doesn’t love a spray park..... We will be back to enjoy again next year

Spent the July long weekend in this nice, clean, well run campground. The weather was less than ideal but had a great family time. Safe so kids go off by themselves and we did not have to worry about them. Boat launch is a bit far from campground and 'beach' was sandy but had limited lake access. Would visit again.

Nice services but bring your own wood

Jun 27, 2019by vanessa bodnar
Check in was quick and easy. Sites are private and very nice. Pet friendly. The longer trails in the back were great for walking our dogs. Shower room was not heated and the cool rainy days we were there, would have been a blessing if they were. Brrr. Was too rainy to enjoy the beach which is down the hill. Would have to cart everything down as there’s no parking nearby. Most sites are quite far from it for little ones. The wood provided for $10/wheel barrow was green and completely soaked. Prepare ahead if you can and bring your own. We could only manage lighting a fire one night and that was with a lot of fire starter and drying wood around the pit. I would come back but I’d have my own next time.

Great place to camp.

Jun 27, 2019by Louise Warholik
We thoroughly enjoy camping here but would ask if it’s possible to tarp the wood. We stayed for 5 days and it rained most days. It would have been nice to be able to buy dry wood instead of it being wet. The tarp could be removed on bright sunny days and put back on when the weather is forcasted for rain. Some of the lots sure could use more levelling as it becomes a problem to block the trailers.

Very Well Run

Jun 13, 2019by Bart Clark
We stayed at Westcove for a couple of nights and were very impressed by the facilities and the cleanliness. The camp host, Kevan was very interested in making our stay enjoyable. We’ll be sure to tell others about this gem! See you again! Thanks! Bart Clark

A great campground no matter the size of unit. Many sites are huge. The trees have grown so much they would need trimming along the roads and in sites to avoid units being scratched or awnings hooked. Hopefully Dwayne and Evelyn will be there next year. Great hosts! Will be returning!

We just completed another 2 week holiday on July 7, 2024 at Westcove Campground. We have gone there for the past 3 years and as always the campground is well maintained, clean, quiet and the managers, Dwayne and Evelyn are just the best. They always make time for coffee and a chat and will lend a helping hand whenever needed (if time allows). We have booked in for a couple more weekend this year and will be retuning again in 2025! Thanks Dwayne and Evelyn for a great stay again!

This was our first time there and the only disappointment is that we didn't book for a longer stay. While the beach and water aren't the greatest, the campsites are spacious and plenty of trees between. We are already talking about our next trip there and recommending you to our friends who are looking for new places to go. Thank you - until next time.

This is a great place, the lake isn’t always good for swimming like a lot of lakes in Alberta however the sites and the splash park really make up for it. There is a site for every type of camper there everything from open sites with fields attached so you can keep an eye on the kids to very private sites that are completely treed in. On top of that you can’t beat the managers Evelyn and Dwayne the are some of the best folks I’ve met and have really made Westcove awesome.

Our daughter ended up unfortunately falling very ill in the middle of the night and we decided to leave very early 5:30 in the morning to take her to see the doctor as we couldn't get her to stop vomiting (she's 2). We were not aware of the locked gate after hours and the staff were not very polite when we unfortunately had to wake them to leave. We were told things like "you better not be lying" and "why do you have your trailer" our apologies but we thought it would be easiest to take everything with us as wait times can be unpredictable at the hospital and we weren't sure what was going on with her. I understand the need to lock the gate for safety however this would have been nice to know at check in and no one should be questioned when they explain a medical reason for needing to leave. I am a nurse practitioner and she was ill enough that in my professional judgement she needed evaluation at the hospital. Very disappointed with how we were treated. Sorry that we needed to wake you but it was necessary.

This is our second time to this amazing campsite. We love it here, so well maintained and quiet. Lots of room to do all the activities you want, the beautiful grassy areas and parks are perfect for games of Bocce and bean bag toss. Something to do for all age groups. Love it when Dwayne and Evelyn drive by almost every night around 10:45 to say goodnight to all the campers, very caring campground hosts. The sites are nice a big, and perfect for camping with friends, all close. Thanks again for another great week of camping, see you next year. Love all the MD parks in St. Paul, been to them all, well done, more campgrounds need to take a page out of your book.

Had a great quiet weekend there. Staff was very accommodating and week above and beyond to make us happy. Treated the kids extremely well. Something they’ll never forget. It’s too bad that the water has come down so far that it’s ruined the beach but further in the water was fine. Shower house could definitely be upgraded but was still clean. We’ll be back!

Really enjoyed our stay. Caretakers are so nice and friendly. They keep the campground, bathrooms, showers and play areas very clean. The splash park should be included in the fee for campers, bags are free to pick up after your pets but children have to pay to enjoy the splash park. Sites are private and surrounded by trees. Evelyn and Dwayne are amazing Will be returning The Amyotte gang

The campground attendants are what makes this experience second to none. They are super friendly and accommodating. My son talks about his adventures here year round.

This is such a well taken care of campground!

This was our second time staying at Westcove the first time was good so we figured we'd go back since the kids had such a great time. This time wasn't the case, right from the second we got there they put a sour taste in our mouths. First they said we didn't check in, we were with a group and the first people to arrive were the ones who checked us in, he came up in a huff then realized we were checked in, no apology. Then apparently we got a noise complaint (the park was nearly empty) that was fine but the way the woman handled it was very unprofessional saying she was going to blacklist and evict us while all intoxicated.. The way they handled themselves and spoke to our group was completely uncalled for. When we were checking out my husband went to go talk to them, the woman wouldn't stop arguing with him and her husband was in the back laughing at my husband.. very very rude! We won't be coming back and we are contacting their superiors.

We stayed in the group site and had a ton of room, gazebo was perfect for cooking and hiding from the rain. Outhouses had motion sensored lights inside and maintained as best as a permanent public outhouse could be. It is clear Evelyn and her husband care about what they do and it shows in the maintenance of the campground.
Danielle Brochu

A few changes would be appreciated such as better lighting in the outhouses and when the campground is fully booked perhaps the $25 charge could be relaxed a little!

Despite terrible weather and smoky conditions this was a fantastic camping weekend. Evelyn and her husband truly made this a memorable trip for our son. We spent the entire day “treasure hunting” in misty, cold and smoky weather and when they asked what we were doing they set out to hid treasure for him. It’s been nearly a week since being home and he is still telling everyone about the treasure he found. We will surly be returning ;)

Pros: Clean, friendly staff, splash park, close to town. Cons: Lake is so low it's a algae infested swamp, no swimming, fishing or usable beach. All common areas are off limits to dogs. Wood is $10 for small bundle of not great wood. Summary: There are so many nicer sites in the Lakeland but this one is great if you live close and want to commute.

This was our first time at Westcove, we have been taking our granddaughter camping for five years now, and always go with my brother and his wife and one or two of his grandchildren. We like a lake and a playground for our activities. This met all our expectations, clean, lots of play areas, family friendly, and what kid doesn’t love a spray park..... We will be back to enjoy again next year

Spent the July long weekend in this nice, clean, well run campground. The weather was less than ideal but had a great family time. Safe so kids go off by themselves and we did not have to worry about them. Boat launch is a bit far from campground and 'beach' was sandy but had limited lake access. Would visit again.

Check in was quick and easy. Sites are private and very nice. Pet friendly. The longer trails in the back were great for walking our dogs. Shower room was not heated and the cool rainy days we were there, would have been a blessing if they were. Brrr. Was too rainy to enjoy the beach which is down the hill. Would have to cart everything down as there’s no parking nearby. Most sites are quite far from it for little ones. The wood provided for $10/wheel barrow was green and completely soaked. Prepare ahead if you can and bring your own. We could only manage lighting a fire one night and that was with a lot of fire starter and drying wood around the pit. I would come back but I’d have my own next time.

We thoroughly enjoy camping here but would ask if it’s possible to tarp the wood. We stayed for 5 days and it rained most days. It would have been nice to be able to buy dry wood instead of it being wet. The tarp could be removed on bright sunny days and put back on when the weather is forcasted for rain. Some of the lots sure could use more levelling as it becomes a problem to block the trailers.

We have gone there for the past 3 years and as always the campground is well maintained, clean, quiet and the managers, Dwayne and Evelyn are just the best. They always make time for coffee and a chat and will lend a helping hand whenever needed (if time allows). We have booked in for a couple more weekend this year and will be retuning again in 2025! Thanks Dwayne and Evelyn for a great stay again!

This was our first time there and the only disappointment is that we didn't book for a longer stay. While the beach and water aren't the greatest, the campsites are spacious and plenty of trees between. We are already talking about our next trip there and recommending you to our friends who are looking for new places to go. Thank you - until next time.

This is a great place, the lake isn’t always good for swimming like a lot of lakes in Alberta however the sites and the splash park really make up for it. There is a site for every type of camper there everything from open sites with fields attached so you can keep an eye on the kids to very private sites that are completely treed in. On top of that you can’t beat the managers Evelyn and Dwayne the are some of the best folks I’ve met and have really made Westcove awesome.

Our daughter ended up unfortunately falling very ill in the middle of the night and we decided to leave very early 5:30 in the morning to take her to see the doctor as we couldn't get her to stop vomiting (she's 2). We were not aware of the locked gate after hours and the staff were not very polite when we unfortunately had to wake them to leave. We were told things like "you better not be lying" and "why do you have your trailer" our apologies but we thought it would be easiest to take everything with us as wait times can be unpredictable at the hospital and we weren't sure what was going on with her. I understand the need to lock the gate for safety however this would have been nice to know at check in and no one should be questioned when they explain a medical reason for needing to leave. I am a nurse practitioner and she was ill enough that in my professional judgement she needed evaluation at the hospital. Very disappointed with how we were treated. Sorry that we needed to wake you but it was necessary.

I do not believe that there is a bad site in this entire campground. Great caretakers who are very friendly, kind and considerate. Truly is a gem for the County and the region.

As Kelly said, a hidden gem!!!!! Spent a week here with our group! Quiet and relaxing! Exceptionally well kept and clean. The operators, Dwayne and Evelyn go the extra mile to make your stay is a great one! This park has large sites and activities for all ages… and we made use of nearly all of them! Loved the pickle ball courts! Can’t wait to return next year!

This is our second time to this amazing campsite. We love it here, so well maintained and quiet. Lots of room to do all the activities you want, the beautiful grassy areas and parks are perfect for games of Bocce and bean bag toss. Something to do for all age groups. Love it when Dwayne and Evelyn drive by almost every night around 10:45 to say goodnight to all the campers, very caring campground hosts. The sites are nice a big, and perfect for camping with friends, all close. Thanks again for another great week of camping, see you next year. Love all the MD parks in St. Paul, been to them all, well done, more campgrounds need to take a page out of your book.

We have been there a few times and will definitely be back many more times. The campground is clean, quiet and well maintained, sites are large and private and the managers ( Dwayne and Evelyn) are the best. Thanks to the both of you for making our stay a pleasant one every time!

Had a great quiet weekend there. Staff was very accommodating and week above and beyond to make us happy. Treated the kids extremely well. Something they’ll never forget. It’s too bad that the water has come down so far that it’s ruined the beach but further in the water was fine. Shower house could definitely be upgraded but was still clean. We’ll be back!

Really enjoyed our stay. Caretakers are so nice and friendly. They keep the campground, bathrooms, showers and play areas very clean. The splash park should be included in the fee for campers, bags are free to pick up after your pets but children have to pay to enjoy the splash park. Sites are private and surrounded by trees. Evelyn and Dwayne are amazing Will be returning The Amyotte gang

The campground attendants are what makes this experience second to none. They are super friendly and accommodating. My son talks about his adventures here year round. This year we went on another treasure hunt with our site map and hit up all the parks. The little cabin for kids is so amazing! We love it here and will return as often as Evelyn and her husband are running it.

I can now say I have stayed at all four St. Paul Municipal campgrounds, loved them all. Thanks for all your hard working keeping this beautiful campsite beautiful. Really enjoyed our time there, and we will be back. Very friendly and informative staff.

This is such a well taken care of campground! The caretakers are extremely friendly and helpful, there are multiple playgrounds for kids plus the spray park was a wonderful treat for both the kids and the adults in +29 weather! Large, private sites and multiple group sites make this place an absolute gem and we will definitely go back again.

First time here! What a beautiful park. Well kept and staff very friendly. Lake is not easily accessible so water activities are tough but they have a splash park right near the beach. They even have tennis and pickle ball courts! We will be back!

Checked in with no problems, the site that I booked was not big enough for our camper but the attendants were very accommodating in switching it to one that was. The bathrooms were very clean as were the sites. Kids loved the splash park. Looking forward to returning!

This was our second time staying at Westcove the first time was good so we figured we'd go back since the kids had such a great time. This time wasn't the case, right from the second we got there they put a sour taste in our mouths. First they said we didn't check in, we were with a group and the first people to arrive were the ones who checked us in, he came up in a huff then realized we were checked in, no apology. Then apparently we got a noise complaint (the park was nearly empty) that was fine but the way the woman handled it was very unprofessional saying she was going to blacklist and evict us while all intoxicated.. The way they handled themselves and spoke to our group was completely uncalled for. When we were checking out my husband went to go talk to them, the woman wouldn't stop arguing with him and her husband was in the back laughing at my husband.. very very rude! We won't be coming back and we are contacting their superiors.

When we got there our trailer wouldn’t fit in its site and the caretakers were super friendly and helpful and changed our stall for us with no issues. We had a great stay!

We stayed in the group site and had a ton of room, gazebo was perfect for cooking and hiding from the rain. Outhouses had motion sensored lights inside and maintained as best as a permanent public outhouse could be. It is clear Evelyn and her husband care about what they do and it shows in the maintenance of the campground.

A few changes would be appreciated such as better lighting in the outhouses and when the campground is fully booked perhaps the $25 charge could be relaxed a little!

Evelyn and her husband are amazing, friendly and are always willing to help make your stay the best it can be. Everything from taking care of wasp nests to sparing a cup of bleach. Sites are spacious and always clean. Spray park and playgrounds are awesome for the kids. We try and visit westcove at least once a year!!

Despite terrible weather and smoky conditions this was a fantastic camping weekend. Evelyn and her husband truly made this a memorable trip for our son. We spent the entire day “treasure hunting” in misty, cold and smoky weather and when they asked what we were doing they set out to hid treasure for him. It’s been nearly a week since being home and he is still telling everyone about the treasure he found. We will surly be returning ;)

Pros: Clean, friendly staff, splash park, close to town. Cons: Lake is so low it's a algae infested swamp, no swimming, fishing or usable beach. All common areas are off limits to dogs. Wood is $10 for small bundle of not great wood. Summary: There are so many nicer sites in the Lakeland but this one is great if you live close and want to commute.

Clean campground...great splash park. But the shower water temperature could be a little bit warmer. It was pretty cool for an adult, I couldn't see a child showering in that water temperature.

Evelyn and Duane were awesome! First time being here for July long weekend and We definitely recommend this place. Very clean and very friendly personnel. They saved us from not having any power the first night, but they came through for us and solved our problem :) We're already booked for our next camping at westcove.....Thanks again guys for doing such a great job!!

This campground was so much fun. We were there for 4 days lots of walking trails,the site was very clean. And as soon as the splash park opens up we will be back again.

We really liked this campground. Lots of trees, and privacy was great. The only complaint i have was that the splash park should be included in the rates as the lake is unusable. Nasty blue green algae makes it nasty to be in.

This was our first time at Westcove, we have been taking our granddaughter camping for five years now, and always go with my brother and his wife and one or two of his grandchildren. We like a lake and a playground for our activities. This met all our expectations, clean, lots of play areas, family friendly, and what kid doesn’t love a spray park..... We will be back to enjoy again next year

Spent the July long weekend in this nice, clean, well run campground. The weather was less than ideal but had a great family time. Safe so kids go off by themselves and we did not have to worry about them. Boat launch is a bit far from campground and 'beach' was sandy but had limited lake access. Would visit again.

Check in was quick and easy. Sites are private and very nice. Pet friendly. The longer trails in the back were great for walking our dogs. Shower room was not heated and the cool rainy days we were there, would have been a blessing if they were. Brrr. Was too rainy to enjoy the beach which is down the hill. Would have to cart everything down as there’s no parking nearby. Most sites are quite far from it for little ones. The wood provided for $10/wheel barrow was green and completely soaked. Prepare ahead if you can and bring your own. We could only manage lighting a fire one night and that was with a lot of fire starter and drying wood around the pit. I would come back but I’d have my own next time.

We thoroughly enjoy camping here but would ask if it’s possible to tarp the wood. We stayed for 5 days and it rained most days. It would have been nice to be able to buy dry wood instead of it being wet. The tarp could be removed on bright sunny days and put back on when the weather is forcasted for rain. Some of the lots sure could use more levelling as it becomes a problem to block the trailers.

We stayed at Westcove for a couple of nights and were very impressed by the facilities and the cleanliness. The camp host, Kevan was very interested in making our stay enjoyable. We’ll be sure to tell others about this gem! See you again! Thanks! Bart Clark

Close to St. Paul. Lots of activities available for the whole family. Pet-friendly. Some sites are not great but the majority are private and roomy. Lake is not great. Boat access is a bit far from the campground and no swimming.

Great Campground. Pet friendly. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great treed sites with privacy. Would definitely recommend to families, especially when the spray park opens up.
