Nour Jarad

Fantastic place. Great for kids and families. Water is beautiful and perfect for camp and BBq

Jani Domawa

One of the best places to go for a family outing either for a day trip or for a camping get-away. …

Alfredo Wong

Lots of space to camp. Mostly flat terrain. Separate area for larger RVs near day use beach area. Electricity and fire pits included with most sites.

mehdi qurbany

Great place, nice a quiet on weekdays.

Meagan

Definitely busy on a weekend. I did find some people didn't follow the rules (ie dogs on the beach) but it's a nice beach getaway & the water was clean. Definitely bring water shoes as the waterside has lots of gravel & the sand is full of rocks & sticks.

Carla Bain

It has lots of camping spots it has nice trails a large lake that includes fishing boating and a beach for swimming it has bird watching not very many trees on campsites but there is some they have reservation ahead they also have an ice cream truck and bathrooms near the beach

Rob Spence

This was a fantastic day trip destination. Plenty of activity, tasty treats, and space at this time of year.

Johnnalyn Magsipoc

All in one there’s camping sight and picnic area, fishing area,boating . The place so amazing when I see this, I fell so relaxed and peaceful. I want to come back again.

Duncan Mundell

Great location, excellent facilities. Love the beaches. 10/10 works recommend, especially for families.

Crystal W

Always so busy (beach and to book sites), campsites often smell strongly of urine, dogs barking, hand sanitizer is often out at the washrooms, loud traffic at night driving through the park. I keep giving it a chance but I’m consistently disappointed.

Khawar Nazir

Excellent spot to enjoy the greenery and lake water. Can play volleyball on the beach, kids have a decent play area. Fire pits available for BBQ.

Jeremy Wilkie

Great campground with beautiful views of the sunset at night. You WILL need lots of bug spray!

Brandi Wilson

Nice place...great access to the water. Well kept - the facilities were pretty nice. All the outhouses were well kept. …

Nice place to take the family, Bring your own shadow, you will need it and get there early for a good spot

Dave Woeckener

We absolutely love this campsite. There's so much joy in the water for our family. We spend all day at the beach... And soak up the sun. The campground itself is protected from a fireban (if and when they're in force) due to being an island where if there was a fire, it couldn't escape!! Yes - all photos taken by me and a drone!

Natasha Ballard

100% recommend! Loop J is in the wide open field so if that’s not your thing I’d recommend any of the other loops. Bathrooms were well maintained and they had a staff member monitoring the number of people in the flush/shower washrooms. Nice parks for kids, open spaces, super nice beach (it’s a bit rocky especially at the beginning but bring water shoes and you’re good to go!) Well worth the drive from YEG if you’re staying a few days!

Denys Tsybka

Huge beach area, warm water, lots of picnic space, they have a cafe over there, shower place, playground - all you need for nice summer recreation!!

Owen Tyndall

A surprisingly great getaway. 2 hours from Calgary, electricity hookups on site, flushing toilets and $1 showers (wash quick!), and one big beach and a smaller quieter beach, makes Kinbrook Island a wonderful summer weekend retreat. Check out the historic Brooks Aqueduct, and visit the quaint shops at downtown Brooks (they could use the tourism). Lots of birds and deer for those that like the addition of wild life. It is a busy campground with quite a bit of rollover day to day. Highly recommend, three nights max.

Brianne Rutter

Excellent little spot. Clean but small beach. Concession stand. Enjoyable even if smoky from BC fires. Boat and swimmer friendly.

chris m

Always a great time at Kinbrook, fun for kids and family. Kids discover wildlife and release of course at the end of day, lol. If they had sewer at each RV site it be Awesome!!!!!

May Be

Beautiful sunsets and well kept facilities. Our go to place to unwind 2 hrs from Calgary.

Wael Elrafih

Great escape in the Praries! Big spacious beach on a huge lake. Highly recommended!

Elena Bowes

This campground just did not work for us. Lack of privacy, lots of bugs, few things to do within driving distance, and an extremely crowded beach that was not very clean. For us, Gull Lake, Crimson Lake, Fish Lake, Beauvais Lake and Beaver Mines Lake were far better options, for beaches and/or outdoor activities. We will not be back.

John Cousart

You will be pretty close by to other campers, a lot of noobie campers use this site so expect people who do not have great camping etiquette. The facilities are decent but definitely heavily trafficked so expect more stank. The lake is nice but we did not find the downsides worth being by a lake.

Fabio Speroni

Sunset by the beach is a must see! Facilities were clean and tidy. Friendly staff. We were lucky to meet cool people next to us.

Clara

Great campsite close by to Calgary. Great lake to use if you go boating. Remember to bring mosquito repellent, lots of mosquitoes. Downfall, the showers and flushing toilets facility close by 8:30pm. Overall pretty good campsite on an island.

Jim Rogers

I was pleasantly surprised. We snagged a site in D-loop. The sites are well spaced and the south loops, at least, are open, treed and park-like. As some other reviewers have noted, noise can be an issue, but l travel with ear plugs anyway, because you can't expect everyone to be courteous, responsible adults, and even responsible adults sometimes are unaware of the noise that they are creating. I will definitely visit again.

Jordan Wang

Very good and clean campground. Nice having brooks nearby. Make sure to check out jbs canada centre in brooks

Rebecca Elizabeth

A birding oasis! Rarely have I seen or heard so many breeds in one place. I am grateful to Alberta Parks for this man-made habitat, and would recommend everyone make the trip here. The day use amenities are phenomenal and numerous, and the taps have great tasting water. Camp sites in the ~30ft loop were spacious and the power worked well.

Saran Anand

Lots of spots of bbq and playground near beach nice spot day use and camping

Arezoo K

Nice Samdy beach

Tang Mathew

Beautiful place for kids !

Rudy De Obieta

Nice Large area, camping and daytime and lake use

Kelly Kangles

Great beach and campground. A line up to get water as there was only one tap open. Otherwise a very nice spot.

Flying Minds

love the place. always come back to enjoy the nature, lake and pelicans.

Petrus Lourens

Clean toilets. Good showers. Friendly checkin and service. Some people that didnt camp there did not follow the rules of the road.

Derrick Woo

Awesome campsite. Lots of space between sites and a lot of privacy. The bathrooms are really clean. The staff definitely put the effort in keeping it clean. I should know, cause i was waiting to use it haha! There are running taps with potable water, which surprised me considering covid (though showers are still closed). The beach was decent too, at least he kids really enjoyed it. Nice little getaway that's not far from Calgary at all. Definitely worth a return if you can score a reservation.

Ryan Heagy

This is truly a great campground! We've been here a couple of times and it has been wonderful. It can get windy at times and cell coverage isn't great but overall it is great. The entire campground is irrigated so fire bans don't seem to be an issue. The beach is good, lots of sand and the water isn't too deep. There's also a couple good places to fish off the shore right in the park. Great place to bring the kids and have a really wonderful time!

Thang Tran

the park is so beautifull...

Aimee Evans

Really well kept facility, beautiful beach and water is great to swim in (a little rocky so just bring water shoes or slides to protect feet)! Highly recommended. 2019- said concession was closed, but can find items in Brooks if need. Firewood, showers, water on site. Happy camping!

Nicole Romano

First time here at the end of the summer and we were impressed, with what the campground had to offer. We had a site with the older well established grounds/trees so great shade and privacy. Lots of trails and paths to adventure on for families. Beautiful views around on the island and a few spots to go swimming. Water is quite warm too. Only thing to know, is that it can get tremendously windy at times so prepare for the right attire to wear. Outside of how windy it was, everything else was well enjoyed and clean grounds. And if you need anything, there's a Walmart/grocery stores in Brooks, which is about 15 mins drive away.

Indrani Nath

My family loved this place. We had a ton of fun the whole time. We spent 3 nights there and it was great. Only thing I felt was a bit more trees would have made this place a lot better and shady at some places and less noisy at night ( as trees absorbs sound as well)

jimmy ngalamulume

What a beautiful place to spend your holiday

jessica

Nice lake , not too cold. Bring water shoes!

Ana G

It's ok but I won't return nor recommend... I regret ever complaining about Sylvan lake which is much better!.. this lake on the other hand is in the middle of nowhere. It's July & water is cold af.. good for kids 10 & under they won't know the difference between good lake n bad lol.. lots of parking, spacious campground walking distance..

Jose Vazquez Diaz

Beautiful place to relax and unwind

Kai Osmon

Lovely, coffee shop right on the beach and other things )))

Tom Jacklin

Nice campsite

Debra St

Beautiful provincial park with great beach

Darryl S

What a wonderful beach on a large lake! Even when busy, there is plenty of space for parking and on the beach itself. It can get a bit stupid with the paddle boards and floating boats constantly coming in and out of the water, and unfortunately they don’t pay attention to swimmers, so definitely keep aware of your surroundings. But a great place to spend a summer day with family and friends!

Cas Con

A nice place to visit that is close to home. Great lake, great amenities good value

Tammy Robinson

Spent 4 days there a couple weeks ago. Has power but not full hook for sewer. But that's alright. The spacious sites were well worth it. And they have dump stations near by. Great place to spend time with family and Lake Newell is great!

Lynn Black

Really helpful staff. No reservation and they found us good spot. Lovely campsite for walk about, nature and clean air. No dogs on beach, so we had good day walking trails and checking out little paths that ket dogs get feet wet!

Murray K

That's what a well run campground should be. Highly recommended

Melissa Williams

Campsites are amazing. Beach is great when the wind is not blowing! It can get very windy!

Jo Buena

Very nice park. We went to the day use area. Lots of picnic tables. Charcoal grills. Clean washroom. Nice swimming area and beach. Bonus: Very beautiful sunsets!!

John Ng'ang'a

The beach is good, clean washrooms.If they can install sinks where people can clean their dishes that would be nice.floating live band entertainment was superb.

sillybigboy

Good place to take the family beach fishing hiking camping lots to do.

Michelle Omilusik

Love Kinbrooke camping and love the day use area. The beach has some small rocks that can hurt to walk on but I just wear water shoes. The lake is clean and not cold...and was very refreshing on these hot days. The campground is always clean and I have never had issues with partiers

Brandy Miller

Such a great place to camp. So much open green space for the kids and lots of trees for shade. Water views from so many places and nice to spend time at the beach! We will visit again for sure. Very well maintained.

orville wong

Great campground clean facilities with lots of paper and sanitizer

C Royer

Well kept park. Beach is a little rocky, but still nice.

R Lem (Rocks)

Great marsh walk (4.5 km) and place to use your water Toys (kayak, paddle board etc.). Windy and some small choppy waves but nice areas to sit and picnic.

bj7018

very beautiful sunset in August 2020!

Ace Samson

Beautiful campground, well maintained, firewood and running water accessible, sites for tents and rvs, beautiful beach and lake for the kids to play at as well as playgrounds. Fire pits at each site as well as electricity available.

Silvana Stoesser

F81 is nice and spacious, gives you enough privacy. Lake is clean, great for boating and swimming.

jim patterson

Very nice campground and big sandy beach. Flushable toilets with showers in only one spot. We stayed in section F. I would not recommend staying in section F, it is like a wasteland. If Zombies attack, they will likely stay in section F. The seagulls were bad in that section and lots of dead trees. The other sections of the campground are really beautiful and not infested with loud seagulls. Nice boatlaunch area and warm food concession stand. I would recommend this campground but I would never stay in section F.

Judy Pritchard

Great place to relax. Beach has rocks but the kids don't seem to mind. Water was good for swimming. Very clean.

Ajay MURALIDHARAN

I lived in brooks for two years and didn't know this existed. I went there on my last day and I got the best view in brooks. Regret not visiting it often

Scott

Big beach area, water fairly warm. Not best sand, and rocks in water until out a ways. Water shoes maybe an asset. Used only the beach so can’t really comment on the campground and the rest of the park. From what we saw we would camp there.

Betty Trost

Great park, large enough sites to accommodate large RV's. Beautiful lake to boat in, fish if you choose. There's a beach and swimming for everyone. Playgrounds for children. Showers are also available.

GC Jones

A very enjoyable afternoon. The picnic sites were very clean, the beach was also tidy. Stopped also for a treat-- HUGE scoop of delicious ice cream. We will be back again.

Karen Wiebe

I love this place. Been visiting it for over 40 years. The picnic area is well maintained and the washrooms are generally kept clean. I recommend it for anyone looking for a fun place to picnic or camp for a few days.

Muhammad Wahab

Beautiful small beach by the lake. Very safe camping site for families. Playground for kids.

Guin Hughes

Amazing experience, so great to have a beach so close by. Staff are super friendly

Dacil Chavez

Best beach so far!! We had so much fun at this island! Will return every summer… several times ????

Moga agoM

Great and lovely place to do camping & swimming. The camping sites are really good. I would highly recommend this place for parents to bring their kids to have fun here. Love this place alot.

Michelle King

Very beautiful place!! Family friendly ❤..

Domi w

Have camping here twice. Still like the peace site that has trails and birdwatching, fishing, boating,etc. Sometime you maybe find bird eggs under your trailer. Other birds attacked one egg and made it broken. We got many crabfishs for special sandwich. Enjoy the trip.

Norman Norman

You will enjoy here, all kinds water sports, all ages people can be play here, beautiful camping sites.

Cj Watt

One of our top 3 out of 12 camps weve been. Great beach, great services. Many birds and we saw a deer in the marina.

Wendy Wade

A very nice park. Well laid out walking distance to all amenities. Beach is great, did some kayaking, hiking. Many birds and wildlife. Deer came to our campsite. Only negative was enforcement of noise. Campers partying well past midnight. Difficult if you have to drive the next day. Otherwise highly recommend.

Tom Dekker

Stayed in spot D-57, which had good shade and a level spot. Nearly all sites are now powered which is nice. However with the advent of online booking, we all know that it's a fight to get a spot. This is unfortunate since it leaves the …

Cliff Anderson

Beautiful campground. Lots are open (not our favorite aspect) that said they are huge so being open is not truly a hindrance. Showers are a Toonie, there are flushies near loop J. …

Kevin R

Lots of garbage on the beach, but the employees are friendly and hard working. They may have been understaffed. The camp sites DO vary in quality as far as esthetics are concerned (some sites are pretty new and not too nice yet)
