A group RV site accommodating up to four units is available for $135 per night, with an additional fee for a fourth vehicle. Camping cabins are priced at $154 per night and deluxe cabins at $254, each providing heating, air conditioning, outdoor cooking facilities, and firepits.

Nearby attractions add value for visitors. The Royal Tyrrell Museum, Rosebud Theatre, Atlas Coal Mine, and Red Deer River Adventures all sit within close reach of the property, offering educational, cultural, and outdoor experiences.
According to campground information, evenings bring quieter opportunities for stargazing, with occasional views of the northern lights.
For professionals in the outdoor hospitality sector, Horseshoe Canyon Campground represents an example of a facility positioning itself between natural attractions and regional tourism hubs.
Its combination of competitive nightly rates, family-friendly amenities, and cabin options allows it to capture a broad visitor market.
With Kneehill County having recently acquired Horseshoe Canyon and signaling plans to expand visitor experiences while prioritizing ecological sustainability, the campground may also benefit from increased regional tourism initiatives.
