With a beautiful view of Sulphur Mountain with lots of tree cover makes for a cozy mountain spot.
We chose Tunnel Mountain Village 1 Campground because Tunnel Mountain 2 was closed for repair. I read a lot of reviews and it seems that 2 is better than 1. However, we loved Tunnel Mountain 1, and would stay their again. Again, I read reviews on the best spot and it seemed that site C50 was one of the only spots out of the trees where you could see the mountains, and they were right. It was one of the larger ones as well. We would recommend it to anyone! Canada also requires you to pay a fire wood charge of $9 and that allows you to take as much wood from their pile as you would like. Yes that’s $9 for endless firewood. However it is only allowed to stay in the campground you got it from so bugs and other items do not spread into other forests. Great idea Canada!
While we were there one of the loops in the campground were closed due to bear activity. So always be Bear Aware.
Once again Alberta parks seriously have it going on.
