Calgary West is about the best in Calgary and Cochrane is another 20 minutes farther west. We stayed at Calgary West for two weeks this last July for the Stampede. It is an old KOA that has had additional sites added and they are side-by-side with units going the opposite direction. You can see pictures of our site here if you like. Just imagine another unit on our driver side going the opposite direction which was the case for most of the two weeks. It may not be a problem outside of Stampede time. Also these are the only sites you are guaranteed a 30 amp connection. They have some back in sites that are much larger but two sites share a post that has a 20 amp and a 30 amp connection. First one there gets the 30 amp! We shared our post as well but it had two 30 amp connections. We were able to get usable WiFi from our site but it was really slow when everyone was on it but they do have a WiFi lounge over the office that has pretty good WiFi. If you are going to the Stampede they have buses that run roundtrip to the Stampede grounds for each event. You should be making reservations in the very near future if you want a guaranteed 30 amp connection!
