Outwest Camping & R.V. Park is a family owned, Alberta
corporation formed by David & Darlene McDonald to build
and operate a fully modern, serviced campground facility.
The campground is situated on a parcel of land ideally located
for recreational use. To the south, west, and north are public
lands, immediately accessible to the back-packer, hiker, quad-rider,
or equestrian. This first phase of the campground sits on
approximately thirty acres of land overlooking the picturesque
Prairie Creek valley to the south-west and a smaller tributary
to the north-west. It consists of over eighty spacious, drive-through
R.V. stalls, showers, bathroom facilities, pressure washer
for quads etc. and a large parking lot-storage area. The stalls
are approximately sixty feet long by ninety feet long and
about half of each stall remains treed. Stalls are serviced
with water and electricity, with central dumping stations
for sewage disposal. A fire ring and picnic table is provided
at each stall. A combination of thirty and fifty amp electrical
services are available.
Being a family operation allows Outwest the flexibility to
meet a variety of client needs. As part of this flexibility
we are making a limited number of stalls available on a seasonal
rental basis. These will be offered on a five-year term and
will be based of 2005 rates. While a season will run from
May 15 to September 15, winter storage and use will be accommodated
and discounts will be offered to purchasers of these packages.
Outwest is also offering a limited number, of two week a year
packages for those who do not want to park their units on
a seasonal basis. These will also be offered on terms of up
to five years will also be based on 2005 rates. Both of these
offerings will be sold as licenses and purchasers may resell
them at their discretion.
Outwest’s intent is to provide a gourmet serving of
the finest facilities, able to accommodate the largest of
today’s and tomorrow’s recreational vehicles.
As every gourmet setting needs a center-piece, Outwest has
provided a large,(almost two acre) park in the center of the
campground. This area bounds a small amphitheatre which will
be developed at a later date. It contains play areas for children,
game areas for “older children”, and trails with
benches for some “quiet space”.
The McDonald’s are the fourth generation of David’s
family to manage their family farm (cow-calf) operation. David
has been involved in several community organizations, serving
nine years on Municipal Council, (three as Reeve), and as
chairman of the Red Deer Regional Planning Commission. He
has also served on several Provincial Boards including the
Alberta Planning Board, the Local Authorities Board, the Alberta
Assessment Appeal Board and the Municipal Government Board.
David currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Credit
Union Guarantee Corporation and on the Alberta Surface Rights
Board. Darlene is a full-time homemaker.
Outwest’s mission is to host a quality, user friendly
environment, which will provide visitors of many and varying
interest a safe, pleasant and enjoyable stay in our West Country.
To accomplish this we offer maximum flexibility and high quality
service seasoned with a family history and perspective of
the area dating back to the early 1900’s.
