It is surprisingly difficult to find late season campground in southern Alberta. Most close after the labour weekend but thankfully we lucked out with Tolman East. This year it is open until October 12 on a first-come-first served basis at a cost of $25/night.
The campground itself is perfect for tenting or a small trailer. I wouldn't recommend bringing an RV here as it doesn't have hookups at any of the sites. I loved that all of the sites felt private and weren't on top of each other like some campgrounds. They also appeared to have some great double site options if you're camping in a group.
Bathrooms are pretty basic - pit toilets without running water - but they were pretty clean which is the most important thing. There is also a playground available for the kids. Other than that, the amenities are slim. This isn't a "party campground" and things got quiet pretty quickly as the sun went down. There were only 3-4 other sites in use. read more
