Klondike Valley Campground



I snapped these pictures up a few years ago of an old Edmonton owned RV Campground called the Klondike Valley Campground. This old site was located off of Calgary Trail just after Ellerslie Road if you were headed south on an old service road. The gate was unlocked that day and I took a drive inside, but to be honest, there wasn't really anything left to take pictures of other than the exterior entrance sign. I was actually looking for an old survey monument in the park that I never located.

I was doing survey work on a newer industrial complex located in front of the old campground. To the south of that complex (and on the same land as the industrial site) was an old gas station which probably made all of it's business from the campground. The newer stretch of Calgary Trail, which passes the Leduc No. 1 historic site moves too fast and is completely removed from the old area. When the campground was sold, I'm sure the gas station also closed, if it hadn't even possibly closed before the campground.



I'm unsure if there is still anything left of this site or it's original signage. Somehow, I doubt it.
