Single-handedly solving nothing

Jarvis Bay Provincial Park – review

June 28, 2022 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

It’s time to ruffle some Western Canadian feathers.  Perhaps not the wisest tack considering my reader base, but I’ve been fooled by Jarvis Bay Provincial Park twice now and I’ve got some shame to untangle. I’m a born and raised Southern Ontario boy and as such my memories of summer are filled with images of […]

Red Lodge Provincial Park – review

June 7, 2022 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Well, it turns out that I might, just might, be a wee bit of a geography snob.  At least when it comes to campgrounds.  Case in point, Red Lodge Provincial Park. I’ve known about this small provincial park located sixteen kilometres west of Bowden, Alberta for many years.  It’s a very popular spot, garnering much […]

River Grove Campground – review

June 1, 2022 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

When I turned 15, I got my first, non-babysitting job.  It was a momentous turning point for me, but also my whole family.  From that point forward, I never again spent a weekend camping with my parents and sister at our seasonal campsite in Sauble Beach, something we’d done religiously since I was 4. My […]

Mt Kidd RV Park – new review

January 24, 2022 by acrockofschmidt 1 Comment

The summer of 2021 marked our ten-year anniversary as a family of campers (or is that RVers?). We’ve owned three different trailers in that time and visited dozens of different campgrounds around the province (and country). In fact, going to a variety of campgrounds has been the hallmark of our (okay, my) camping philosophy. I […]

Beaver Flat Campground – review

January 7, 2022 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Stick with your first choice, or some variation thereof, is a favoured idiom that’s pretty much nonsense. My most recent reminder of its fallibility came this past summer when I chose to camp at Paddy’s Flat rather than Beaver Flat. Or is it Beaver Flats? Even the government doesn’t know if there is one singular […]

Gooseberry Campground – review

December 16, 2021 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I haven’t the slightest clue what a gooseberry is. I’ve certainly never eaten one (assuming one safely can, of course). I’m not even sure I’ve seen one, though I most certainly have since I live and camp in Alberta, a province with not one, but TWO, campgrounds/parks named after this obscure (in a grocery store […]
