Frequently Asked Questions
How did the 2023 wildfire impact the single sites, tandem sites, & trails?
The 2023 Parkland County wildfire impacted Entwistle RV Campground, changing the landscape but not the experience we strive to offer. Our single sites, tandem sites, and trails are open, many with fewer trees but plenty of big skies, and amazing sunsets. While some areas still show signs of the fire, nature is already beginning to renew itself and the campground remains a great place to relax and explore. We want to be upfront about what to expect, and we're still committed to providing a memorable and welcoming camping experience.
How did the 2023 wildfire impact the group sites?
Fortunately, the group sites and approximately 1km of walking trails were untouched by the blaze.
Can I access the river?
While parts of the public land granting access to the Pembina River were impacted by the wildfire, we encourage you to embrace adventure with caution. Take part in activities outside of Entwistle RV Campground property at your own risk.
How is Entwistle RV Campground ensuring safety and monitoring the environment after the wildfire?
As always, staff at Entwistle RV Campground remain dedicated to continuously monitoring the condition of every corner of the campground. Our team remains vigilant in assessing and addressing any potential hazards posed by fire damage. Environmental impacts are top of mind as we closely observe soil erosion, ecological recovery, and changes in wildlife habitat. We are heartened to see so many signs of natures resilience with local pioneer species sprouting and plenty of deer and moose tracks spotted!

What are the rules and regulations to use this campsite?
Rules and regulations can be found here.
What is a unit? How many tents or trailers can I bring?
A unit is anything from an RV to a tent, and anything in between. This includes motor homes, fifth wheels, tent trailers, campers, tents, vehicles you are sleeping in, and more. Limiting the number of units on each site allows us to monitor overall number of guests in the campground for emergency related purposes and limit impact on our environment.
- Group sites can accommodate up to 5 units (more or less) depending on the size of each of the units and the size of the site. Each site is unique. For example, every site is able to accommodate 5 or more tents, however some sites are only able to accommodate 3 forty foot RV's. For specific site limitations and availability, please check out our reservation page. Small tents exclusively for children under the age of 18 are permitted upon request at no additional charge.
- Tandem sites can accommodate two units. One tent as a second unit per pad may be permitted upon request if the pad is large enough to accommodate both units and tow vehicle(s) without damaging the environment or disturbing neighbours. If the second unit is small and exclusively for children under the age of 18, no additional fee will be charged. If the second unit accommodates adult(s) aged 18 or over, an additional fee of $30/night will be charged upon arrival.
- Single sites can accommodate one unit. Another unit may be permitted upon request if the campsite is large enough to accommodate both units and tow vehicle(s) without damaging the environment or disturbing neighbours. If the second unit is small and exclusively for children under the age of 18, no additional fee will be charged. If the second unit accommodates adult(s) aged 18 or over, an additional fee of $30/night will be charged upon arrival.
