Black Diamond, Alberta

Just wondering if anybody knows what the score is on the Black Diamond Lions Campground which was destroyed a few years ago during the Alberta floods.
I heard they are working on it to get it back on it's feet.
We stayed there several times and would like to go back.

Any news on this?

    Thanks, but that's an old listing from before the flooding.

    The flood was in June 2013 and the campground update is either March or September 2014. The place looks pretty fine on the Google sat view. Call them!

    Ok, thanks guys.
    I googled and ended up seeing excavators at work.
    But I will contact them. Thanks again.
    I will let you know after I hear from them.

    We stayed at the Lions' CG in Black Diamond 3 times going to and coming from Alaska. Very nice, quiet, clean, and friendly folks. Within walking distance of a market. Would go out of our way to stay there again. But since we usually take highway 22 in order to bypass the city traffic in Calgary, it isn't out of the way.
