Accommodations in Drumheller cater to those wanting to hike the trails, visit the famous museum and enjoy the Hoodoos. Now, as of May of this year, there’s a new way to stay. It’s called Raptor Ridge RV Resort.
This stunning RV Resort offers full ownership of sites. The location is very appealing, being just minutes from the town centre, the Hoodoos, and many of the attractions for which Drumheller is known. Raptor Ridge encompasses 322 beautiful acres and overlooks the Red Deer River. Campers can also see the world’s largest dinosaur sculpture and plenty of historic badlands. As far as RV camping goes, the location simply cannot be beat!
“We are move-in ready, minutes from Drumheller,” says Bob Doornenbal, Raptor Ridge’s Project Manager. “Simply get in your car and arrive at your home away from home. We know from experience that very few people want to book a site (which are hard to find these days as everyone seemed to develop a taste for RV camping during the pandemic), pack up, and haul their RV to a lot – and then do it all over again to go home. Raptor Ridge has made it easy for people simply commute. Our great internet connection allows people to work from Raptor Ridge as well. Best of all, unlike risky leasing or seasonal sites, our sites are 100% owned and titled to you and your family.”
The creators of Raptor Ridge loved building a resort from scratch that meets all the needs of our various buyers.
“It is so rewarding to watch our owners and their families and friends make memories that last a lifetime,” smiles Doornenbal.
It’s easy to make those memories because in addition to ready access to attractions, shopping, dining, and trails for hiking and biking, there is plenty to do right on site. Amenities include:
- Private, gated access
- Heated pool
- Pickleball courts
- 18-hole disc golf course
- Beach volleyball court
- Horseshoe pits
- Kids’ natural playground and dinosaur dig
- Day park with picnic area
- Large, tiered sites throughout
- Paved walking/biking trails
- Wash house with showers
- River shoreline access (owned by the resort)
- Approximately 220 acres of natural hiking/walking/adventure trails through the Badlands, owned by the Resort
To bring all this to fruition, Raptor Ridge hired local contractors and looks forward to continuing to give back to the community in meaningful ways.
Doornenbal concludes, “The Town of Drumheller has been amazing to work with. We truly consider them a contributor to our success, from the Mayor and Council to administration and staff. Being able to hire local contractors like Wiart Dirtwork Ltd. and so many others who care about their community and the project has been very rewarding. We also have great partnerships with Bucars RV Centre and Foothills Nursery.
