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? […]
