David Thompson Resort
Loop 4, Site 63
Well what can I say about David Thompson Resort....didn’t like it too much. The ‘resort’ has a nice gift store, playgrounds, mini-golf and restaurant, so that part was good. We did not like the camping sites at all, very tight together – we really h
ad about 12’ between our trailer and our neighbour, so that was not good. No privacy at all. Not only were you tight beside each other but also in front and in the back of you. The roads in between each row were very narrow - our trailer ru
bbed the trees as we were leaving. One thing nice is that they are pull through sites so that does make things easier.
The drive to the David Thompson resort is gorgeous; the area is beautiful and mainly untouched. Lake Abraham is breathtaking with clean, sparkling water; it is hard to believe that the North Saskatchewan River originates from that clean manmade lake, so that is really interesting to see. Our drive from Crimson Lake to the David Thompson was about an hour and we were very excited to get there as we had heard some good things about the resort. It was disappointing to see the campground area and we were originally booked for 3 nights but because it was pouring rain and we didn’t like the how tight the sites were we decided to leave early. If the weather had been nicer we would have toughed it out and stayed as there was lots to explore. That afternoon we decided to go for a drive and check out some of the scenery, we made it to Crescent Falls which was very pretty. Well worth going to that area just to see that, we also managed to check out the Bighorn Dam which would be a fantastic place for ATV’s!
