Single-handedly solving nothing

Upper St. Mary Campground – review

December 1, 2021 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Way back in the spring, my son and I spent an impromptu weekend camping at St. Mary Reservoir along the southeastern boundary of the Blood reservation in southern Alberta. We camped in Lower St. Mary Campground below the dam and had a terrific time which was rather a surprise. Well, the wildlife and setting of […]

Gooseberry Lake Provincial Park – review

November 18, 2021 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I’ve determined that I need a time machine. Once I’ve got this time machine and done the no-brainer stuff (fix past wrongs, witness historic events, kill Hitler, buy Apple stock), I’m taking my family to the late 70s/early 80s to go camping in Alberta’s provincial parks. I want to do this because it’s become evident […]

Crescent Falls Provincial Recreation Area – review

October 19, 2021 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

One thing became abundantly clear after our amazing camping trip to Ram Falls in early July. I needed to get to Crescent Falls, stat! And with that realization, summer 2021 became the unofficial year of the Alberta waterfall. Like most people, I’m rather fond of waterfalls. They’re beautiful natural features, of course, but they also […]

The summer of 2021 was poised to be a big one for Jasper National Park. The grand re-opening of Whistlers Campground after a major, multi-year refurbishment was coming and I was itching to see the results. In fact, this had been on my mental camping To Do list since the renovation was announced. I could […]

Paddy’s Flat Campground – review

September 21, 2021 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

One can be forgiven for assuming Paddy’s Flat is a pub. Or maybe a St. Patrick’s Day festival. Heck, it could simply be how you refer to your British friend’s place of residence. Whatever the case, it’s unlikely your first thought upon hearing the name would be “campground”, yet that’s exactly what it is. Paddy’s […]

Chinook Provincial Recreation Area – review

September 13, 2021 by acrockofschmidt 8 Comments

Today, my blog comes full circle. I’m reviewing a campground I went to because readers on another of my reviews commented that I should go. That struck me as milestone-ish and I figured I’d better listen up. Turns out my readers are a smart bunch. Now, odds are I would have ended up going Chinook […]
