Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park - Alberta — Attraction in Alberta

Multiple campgrounds in this area with varying degrees of comfort, types of privacy, protection from sun, wind etc. We stayed at Firerock campground which has a bunch of first come first serve sites. It has mostly pit toilets with the shower facilities at the bottom. The showers have flush toilets. The water up to Firerock is fine but the pressure in the lines is low so it takes awhile to fill things. Overall the stay was nice and we enjoyed our first time here. The visitor center/camp store restaurant is nice when you need a break. Service is not the quickest when it gets a little busy but the food is decent and you can choose how many sides you want with your dinner and pick which sides you want. Numerous campgrounds in the area have power and some in Firerock do as well. Our area didn't have power sites and because they don't have generator limit times it seems like always in the daytime that you will have at least one going to disturb the otherwise peaceful area. At least one, usually 3-6 running. Hence the 4...

Rented out a comfort camping cabin and it was horrible. Stayed at the Tom Hut and it should be torn down. It said it had solar power but no plugs. We had mice running in and out, holes in the walls stuffed with steel wool. I had to clean up piles of mouse feces from behind the beds and stove where nobody swept. The roof had water damage and the worst was the moth infestation. When I lit the wood stove hundreds came out of the stove pipe. I would kill a couple hundred and go to the fire, come back in and they would be back. They were coming out of the walls and there were clumps behind all the photo frames, even in the beds. I spent hours killing them but it's a endless battle. I easily could of filled a ice cream pail with how many I killed.I emailed the park twice and have had no response, do not recommend at all, we had to sleep in the vehicle the second night. I emailed the parks website twice...

I want to rate 0 based on the fact this park allows so much unnecessary hunting. Usually when provincial parks alter or expand hunting regulations it is to help curb high animal populations. However, with the recent introduction of cougar hunting; as reported by The Narwhal, it shows that park management is pushing a very disturbing agenda. Provincial parks are supposed to be for people to appreciate nature, and traditionally any hunting would be done with a verifiable purpose. I'm disappointed to be scratching this off the list of parks I'd go to. Until park management starts implementing better conservation strategies, I wouldn't even call it a...
