So long story ... But how many people on here are familiar with the pembina park & / or river tubing there as well ? I am doing a little work with the local buisness chamber and we ( Evansburg / Entwistle ) are curious how many people are aware of the park & amenities ....?

It truly is a gorgeous spot in summer time , with a nice beach , great little town and the river to take long meandering ride down. We are curious about our advertising .
Be it word of mouth , print or social media and if there is more interest in overnight accommodations In the area ... Such as hotels / cabins .

Anyways it would be nice To get a cross section of feed back for the area!
If you have not been out there , it is a fantastic , beautiful spot ....less than an hour to the city.
thanks in advance for any feed back .

Love that campground (provincial) very beautiful. And have done quite a bit of tubing on the river out there..... disappointing to see all the garbage left out there though too

Have been camping there since I was a little kid and now take my family there. Went down the river a few times and only one bad memory of not quite being able to make it to shore when I wanted to so a little longer hike back than expected! It's seems to be very busy in the campground around the long weekends/summer but I think it could definitely be used as more of a day spot with the big park and everything available there. Close proximity to the city should really help in this department

Have done day trips there,find it a pain to have vehicles at both ends.more shuttles or a better cab service would be a plus.Would like to camp there some time,always so busy.

Been tubing out there quite a few times and it is always a nice way to spend an afternoon. Just about anyone I meet (that actually gets off their couch once in a while) seems to know about Pembina tubing.

Never camped there but know lots who have and still do.

Ya the campground is always full in the summer if there was more day area or another campground

We have camped at the campground lots, just need to know where the parties are if you want piece and quiet. Unless you like that stuff. I think A loop is the best. We always end up doing a run to Entwhisle or supper.

Better access getting to the launch site would be a big plus. Trail down is rough and gets pretty slick after a rain.
