St. Mary Campground – Glacier National Park – review

September 24, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Perhaps I’m a victim of proximity ignorance, but I had no idea Glacier National Park (the US version) was so popular. Popular and surprisingly difficult to reserve campsites at. I was so worried about getting spots at Yellowstone National Park, I was dumbstruck when my first attempt to book at Glacier failed. Located in the […]

Lewis & Clark Caverns Campground – review

September 17, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Lewis & Clark Caverns is Montana’s very first state park. Before earning this footnote, the caverns were under the care of rangers from Yellowstone National Park. After a quarter century of shenanigans with local entrepreneurs, the national parks service waved the white flag and offered it to the state of Montana. Montana jumped at the […]

My Life Is A Song #114

September 12, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Sometimes the rabbit hole is every bit as cool as the song that led you to it. For some time now, I’ve been indulging in a guilty pleasure by listening to classic country music. Not all the time, but enough to concern my kids. And my wife. And the neighbours. Even the cats seem perplexed. […]

Colter Bay Campground- Grand Teton National Park – review

September 8, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Go big or go home. When camping in Grand Teton National Park, the “go big” portion of that adage definitely refers to Colter Bay Village and it’s more than 300 site campground. The village concept employed in national parks like Yellowstone and Grand Teton is interesting. Before witnessing them myself, I thought it was nothing […]

Signal Mountain Campground – Grand Teton National Park – review

August 23, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

If Goldilocks went camping in Grand Teton National Park, I imagine she’d choose Signal Mountain Campground. She could, of course, go big (Colter Bay) or small (Jenny Lake, tent only), but of the six campgrounds in the park, Signal Mountain is the closest to being “just right.” I was very much Goldilocks when I booked […]

Park Lake Provincial Park – review

August 4, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

In all my years of searching for campgrounds, I don’t think I’ve been as wrong as I was with Park Lake Provincial Park. In a good way. I had low expectations and came away pleasantly surprised. Maybe it’s the ridiculously unimaginative name? Maybe it’s the small size and apparent farm in the middle of it? […]
