Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost for a site at Blue Trail RV Resort?
We have three different categories of sites, each with different pricing:
1. Ridgeview – our Ridgeview sites are fully serviced with potable water, septic, power and irrigation water and are located at the top of the hill, just as you enter the park on the west side of Hwy 810.
2. Riverside – our Riverside sites are located along the bank of the Waterton River. These sites are not serviced, but most have access to irrigation water.
3. Non-Serviced – all the other campsites are not located on Ridgeview or Riverside and most have access to irrigation water.
How do I get fresh water and septic service?
Septic service is available on Tuesday - Thursday of each week, upon request, at a cost of $30 each but emergency service is available at an additional cost of $75 on other days. Potable water delivery service is supplied within 24 hrs of your request anytime during the week at a cost of $20 per service. (No services available on Sunday) Please complete a request envelope at the camp office for these services. Payment is cash, cheque or e-transfer.
What makes Blue Trail RV Resort unique?
Perhaps it’s because we have incorporated lots of green grass and recreational areas, including our 5 hole executive golf course. Everything looks open and vibrant! Most of the RV sites are tree lined or waterfront. The spacious skies are endless and at night you will be amazed by all the stars!
Can I have a dog in the park?
Yes, dogs are allowed in the park except those specified in the contract. Dogs must be in your RV unit, on a tether or on a leash at all times. Immediate cleanup after your dogs, no matter where they are is required. Dog insurance is not required but you must take responsibility for your dog at all times. We do not have an off-leash area. Dogs may go into the river but not where there are people present.

You may plant shrubs, trees and flowers on your site or even have a rock garden. Small boxed gardens are permitted if maintained and does not encroach on your neighbor’s site.
