Aspen Crossing Campground was the first campground to which we intentionally returned back in the early days of our RVing career. Like other spots we sought out as we gathered our camping legs, Aspen Crossing was an easy, relatively short drive from our home. It quickly became a favourite. Trains were part of the draw. […]
George Lane Municipal Campground – review
We popped our cherries at George Lane Municipal Campground in High River, Alberta. That may sound like a typical prairie high school prom story but alas, it isn’t. In this case, it’s the simple tale of our first ever camping excursion as RV owners. The year was 2011. Summer. We had purchased our very first […]
Bighorn Campground – Ya Ha Tinda – review
RV camping can be an expensive pursuit. Check out the price tag on a brand new Airstream if you need proof. After years of camping in old, used trailers found on Kijiji, last spring we took the plunge and purchased a 2019 Geo Pro right off the lot. We then doubled down and added a […]
Redstreak Campground – Kootenay National Park – review
Redstreak Campground in Kootenay National Park (part of the world-renowned Rocky Mountain National Parks in Western Canada) is another campground whose reputation precedes it. Talk to Calgarians or lurk on Alberta camping Facebook forums, and Redstreak is regularly lauded. Like all raved about camping spots, I had to find out why. This was the summer […]
Astotin Lake Campground – Elk Island National Park – review
Chalk one up for us little guys. I regularly mock massive RV owners. Usually just in my head. And certainly never in person. It’s one of those petty judgments we all secretly relish. I am well aware that they are by far in the majority when it comes to travel trailer choice. The storage lots […]
Rockwood Geo Pro 16BH – One Year Later Review
You would never marry someone after the first date. Well, you shouldn’t, anyway. Likewise, rating a travel trailer such as our Rockwood Geo Pro after a single use, or single season, doesn’t make for the most accurate assessment of its suitability as a mate. Much like dates, new trailers put on a good show a […]
McLean Creek Campground – McLean Creek PRA – review
CLERK 1: Do you need firewood. ME: Yes, please. CLERK 1: Oh good, how many bags? ME: Umm. Well, how much is it? CLERK 1: $10 per bag. ME: Hmm. Two bags, I guess. CLERK 1: It’s supposed to rain tonight. Are you sure you don’t want three? ME: [???] CLERK 1: [smile] ME: [???] […]
Rockwood Geo Pro 16BH – review
In early May of 2018, we purchased a brand new … checks receipt … 2019 Rockwood Geo Pro 16BH travel trailer. I’ve decided this is the recreational vehicle industry saying “hold my beer” to the automotive industry and its quirky tradition of introducing new models in the autumn of the previous year. This was an […]
Crimson Lake Provincial Park – review
Hanging out in a trailer while it rains during the day is one of the most underappreciated joys in life. That may sound counterintuitive since most campers are hoping to be outside enjoying the sun and warmth and beauty of the natural world. That is, presumably, the entire purpose of camping. But the odd daytime […]
Jeremy’s Bay Campground – Kejimkujik National Park – review
I don’t imagine “national park nova scotia interior” is a common phrase entered into online search engines. The knowledge that you would receive an accurate hit is likely even less common, save for those actually living in Nova Scotia. Let’s face it, inland recreation is not the first thing, or tenth, that comes to mind […]
