Lac des Arcs

William Ness

Nice campground. Not much for amenities, but it's a good place to setup a base camp while exploring the surrounding communities. The check-in system is confusing. The card from our email says to drop the slip in the deposit box, but no deposit box could be found? Very odd. The roads are a little worse for wear and have many holes in them. Anyhow, nice open campsites with close water access and a boat launch. I would come here again.

Definitely highway noise, but didn't bother us. The absolutely beautiful views make up for it.

Is it perfect? No. But if you’re in the higher number campsites it’s great. It’s a well maintained site close to the city.

We booked here, knowing from other reviews that we'd be able to hear highway noise. We found it to be an acceptable level, and no noise from factory. The wind however was blowing constantly off the lake. Fortunately, the trees along the lake block the wind so sitting at our site was warm and comfortable. This campground has a variety of sites, some treed and some grassy open. Most are long and straight so it's easy to park a trailer or RV. Some are quite small at the end, with a firepit and picnic table just off the straightaway so a trailer door won't line up with the "living area". Choose carefully. Wood sales are not on-site. Pick up a tag at the entrance and hang it on your post. The truck comes at about 8:30am and 6:30pm to sell bundles for $10. Good playground: slides, monkey bars and climbing structure. No swings. Gravel base.

Proximity to Calgary and a few great hikes are the primary selling points of the camp site, because the view across the water is of the factory. Sites are spaced well so you don't impose on your neighbors, a picnic table and good fire pit included on each site, and firewood is available for purchase. Toilets are kept clean and stocked with paper and sanitizer.
