A wonderful family-oriented resort run by the kindest and funerest (that’s a real word isn’t it?) family you’ll ever meet.

Report
Just spent a week at Killdeer Beach Resort, renting their glamping trailer, with my family. The week was exactly what we needed...peace and quiet, fresh air, outdoor activities and family fun. The glamping trailer was very nice and had everything we needed for a comfortable week. The new owners are also very nice and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and even gave us a propane fire pit to borrow when ours went on the fritz. I would definitely recommend their glamping trailer if you are looking for a get-a-way that isn't too far from Edmonton.
