Here's a few places I've taken my kids and they've liked them and had fun with thinks for them to do.

- Dinosaur Trail RV resort (drumheller)
- Bow Valley campground
- David Thompson Resort
- Brewer's campground aspen beach
- Fallen Timber
- Dinosaur provincial park near brooks
- Writing on Stone

We took the girls to Calaway Park at the begining of the summer. GONG SHOW!!! It was crazy busy, holy crap. It's a full hookup campground, but the stalls are small, I could barely squeeze my trailer in. No trees, no fires, no privacy.

Just back from Drum for the long weekend with a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Had an absolute blast and the 3 year old loved it. Needed a couple of more days to see everything.
