Author review: June 2010 We stayed here for our 2010 family reunion. The campground was clean and we had a great time. We had sites closest to the highway which made them a little loud, but they were also some of the largest sites available. At some locations in the campground it seemed the trailers were right on top of each other, so privacy was a luxury. With easy walking access to the splash park and pool you can find ways to stay cool during the Drumheller heat. All the other services and tourist locations are within easy driving distance, so this campground is a real treat. |
This is what they had to say:
We wanted to stay in Drumheller on a camping trip to Banff. Drumheller is a wonderful little town with fun things to do, RIVER GROVE IS NOT ONE OF THEM!
1. They advertise rabbits on their web site, they are in a cage and kids are not allowed to touch.
2. We phoned in our reservations. I asked for power, sewer and water. When we got there we got a 15 amp site with no sewer. I was not asked what amp I wanted for my site when I made the reservation. Drumheller is hot in the summer, we couldn’t run a/c. We did get water, but the water smelt like sewer water. I had to sanitize my hands after using it. The smell never went away. GROSS!
3. There is a playground for young kids,at the opening of the campground. There is traffic constantly going in and out on either side of the playground. Not safe for children.
4.Pay showers, $1 for 5 min. after paying nearly $40 for a “full service” site.
5. We requested a 30amp site for our return trip. I called a few days later. They said there was no cancellations and couldn’t accommodate us. I tried to cancel the reservation and was told I couldn’t because the reservation was within 7 days….wtf?!
The woman, short, older 58ish with black hair and smoked, was so obnoxious about this. I was so mad at this point. She was blunt and rude. Nowhere on their website did it post the cancellation policy.
Bottom line, do not stay at this campground. If you like rude, unaccommodating and greedy customer service then this is the place for you.
