How to get to Dinosaur Provincial Park
From Calgary, drive east approximately 220 kilometers via the Trans-Canada Highway and Alberta 550E toward Brooks. From Brooks, the closest major town, drive north 11 kilometers on Highway 873, then east on Highway 544 toward Patricia and Jenner (approximately 40 kilometers total). The final approach uses the paved Provincial Road 130. Fuel stations are located in Brooks (48 kilometers away) and Duchess (42 kilometers away), so plan fuel stops accordingly as options near the park are limited.

Sean was everything everyone else has said. Amazing guy! Delivered and set up trailer for us, and left us confident we would have a perfect weekend. Trailer was perfect, and the outdoor kitchen was a morning meeting point for our group. Pick-up was flawless!!!!! Thanks Sean!

Jenn was extremely accommodating when our original booking fell through the day of our reservation at the campsite. The trailer was perfect for our needs and kept us warm and dry when it rained, and cool and comfortable when the weather changed for the better. ☺️
Sean R. - Jul 2025
Can’t wait to book again! Very clean and so much room for our family of four. We went to Kinbrook island campground and had the best time. They delivered it and had it all set up for us when we got there. They were so easy to deal with and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Highly recommend. Thank you for the amazing experience!
