Cataract Creek Provincial Recreation Area – review

August 7, 2020 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I almost camped at Cataract Creek Provincial Recreation Area. I’d heard the name plenty from the mouths of friends who camp there each summer. Usually it was followed with some form of, “if there are spots left” since Cataract Creek is first come, first serve only. Unlike these acquaintances, I’m no gambler when it comes […]

Etherington Creek Provincial Recreation Area – review

August 5, 2020 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

2020 has been an abnormal, difficult year. A long, strange trip, if there ever was. From the pandemic, and its ongoing fallout, to the uncertainty of the provincial government’s plan to dramatically change the status of nearly 200 properties in the parks system, a dark cloud has hovered over Alberta campers this summer. Here’s my […]

Livingstone Falls Provincial Recreation Area – review

August 4, 2020 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Timing is everything. In the case of Livingstone Falls Provincial Recreation Area that means two things. One, use it while you can. As one of the 164 properties the current provincial government is slated to remove from the parks system, 2020 was (likely) the last summer for camping here (it will remain a day use […]

Beaver Mines Lake Campground – Castle Provincial Park – review

Green campground sign indicating Beaver Mines Lake campground

I’m too smart by half. We planned to do an early-in-the-week camping trip down to Castle Provincial Park back in June and had three campgrounds to choose from; Castle River Bridge, Castle Falls, and Beaver Mines Lake. Almost immediately, I tossed Beaver Mines Lake from the competition. There was no beach. It’s a mountain lake […]

Sign at entrance to Castle Falls Campground

There exists a universe where we camped at Castle Falls Campground. This is not that universe. It was close, though. For a few lingering minutes I had even placed a Castle Falls campsite in my checkout cart. We’ld spend one night at Castle River Bridge and a second night at Castle Falls. But when it […]

Sibbald Lake Campground – Sibbald Lake PRA – review

Blue Traffic Sign indicating distance to Sibbald Lake

Ah, there they are … mosquitoes. I knew we’d run into them sooner or later. Not as bad as the infamous horror show that was Portage La Prairie, mind you, but present in sufficient numbers to be annoying once the sun started to set. Sibbald Lake Provincial Recreation Area for the not so desirable win. […]
