I've given a 3 or 4 to other NWT Parks. The facility has the standard split between powered and non powered sites. Very few of the non powered sites were level enough for a tent or bug shelter, or leveled parking. Many of the powered sites were so angled it strained ability of leveling jacks to perform. The park layout was good overall. The shower room had limiting hours from 8 until 9, but staff did not lock it up until closer to 10pm. Shower rooms and outhouses kept clean. Small playground in middle was fun for younger children, although it amused 11 year old for 15 min. The community shelter next to it offered a BBQ and a stove for heating shelter, but it was locked and nobody knew where the key was. Water wasn't available at camp. Watch for edible plants in and around camp, some are yummy and some are poisonous. Saw some bats, but couldn't identify. Would be a good geographic location for Northern Lights, but park is very treed, one would have to walk toward adjacent ball diamond, caring to stay clear of Arbour and other cultural sensitive sites. Campsite rules were not enforced while we were there while some special events were going on during the weekend - check ahead before booking as it could be an all nighter of loud music and celebrating instead of sleeping.

Campsite 13 is beside the playground and has a spot large enough for 2 tents.

Great little place. It's close to town but other than day time traffic noise you would never know it. The bathrooms and free showers are amazing here, some are even heated. Would stay again!
