Sibbald Lake Campground – Sibbald Lake PRA – review

June 24, 2020 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

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. […]

Indian Graves Campround – review

Indian Graves Campground Sign

Who says growing old is all bad? Sure, it sucks in a lot of ways, but sometimes there are unforeseen benefits to that faltering short-term memory. Unlike with forgetting why you went to the kitchen by the time you get there, a memory while you’re out for a drive can lead to unexpected discoveries. And […]

Interlakes Campground – Peter Lougheed Provincial Park – review

February 5, 2020 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

If ever there was a campground that might induce a total rethink of my first-come-first-serve aversion (FCFS), Interlakes Campground in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park would be it. That’s saying something, because my aversion is strong. If you’ve been following along with my sequence of reviews on the campgrounds of Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, you’ll know […]

Elkwood Campground – Peter Lougheed Provincial Park – review

January 26, 2020 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Back when I was a young lad, long before international beer conglomerates were a thing and craft breweries were a rare niche, Canada had its very own major breweries. Okay, there were two of them, but those two had an inordinate impact on pop culture. They sponsored Hockey Night in Canada, for example. They owned […]

Boulton Creek Campground – Peter Lougheed Provincial Park – review

January 9, 2020 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

I grew up in a tourist town. Not the spring break, summer at the beach type of tourist town or the cultural hub, rare antiquities type of tourist town. Sadly. No, my hometown was the bus loads of big city seniors coming to buy decorative but useless knickknacks and hopefully catch a glimpse of Old […]

Bluerock Campground – review

January 6, 2020 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I know of Bluerock Campground because an aunt and uncle of mine camped there annually with my young cousins years ago. When I first moved to Calgary, on a couple of occasions I either visited them at the campground or joined them camping for a night. Everyone else, I presume, knows Bluerock Campground as pseudo-overflow […]
