Our Review - Belly River Campground Alberta
Belly River Campground Reviews - we stayed there in May of 2024 and we absolutely loved it. The scenery surrounding the the campsite is absolutely beautiful, it is very quiet and the camping sites are very spacious and secluded. We were happy to have our own firepit as well.
However, the only downside to this campground is that you are looking at roughly a 30 min to get into the townsite of Waterton, and probably further to your activities.
If you're planning to stay here, make sure you stop by in the early afternoon to guarantee yourself a spot!
