Campground Description

Nestled among the evergreen and deciduous forests on the banks of the Red Deer River lies one of Alberta's hidden treasures: Tall Timber Leisure Park. Tall Timber is a great family friendly camping spot. 

Just an hour's drive from Calgary is a place where you can escape to a more tranquil way of life, centered around family, friends and community. This is your place to re-energize, to re-connect to what matters most and to reflect on the natural beauty of your surroundings. 

Tall Timber Leisure Park has been part of the Alberta RV Landscape since 1979, when it was still just a dream and a cow pasture, and long before it became a premier travel destination campground in west-central Alberta. Tall Timber Leisure Park was very proud to be one of the Top Rated Privately Owned RV Parks in North America, receiving Woodall's 4W Rating. 

Whatever your needs might be, Tall Timber is sure to have something for everyone in your family!

Lovely campground

We will probably return for another visit. Clean, quiet, lots of things for families to do. Wish there was a better description of campsite. Was a little difficult to get in and out, but was alright for a couple of days. Didn't get to the pool, but is an excellent option.

Amazing

Very Happy

This campground was awesome, it had so many amenities. Loved the adult swim option. We had a drive through #12 with lots of room for 2 nights. Very quiet and secure. There needs to be a waste container set in that area. We will be returning.

Friendly staff, clean store, lots of Rec opportunity with horseshoes disc golf playgrounds lots of deer, and the River close walk away, etc. I was surprised our site was so narrow/ close to neighbors, and the water non-potable. But was on website and receipt; my responsibility to read better!
