Single-handedly solving nothing

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 […]

Wally’s Campground – review

December 7, 2021 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

At risk of being repetitive, allow me to repeat the first two paragraphs of my last post. They’re closely related, so it’s technically “okay”. I have no intention of pulling a Creedence Clearwater Revival and suing myself for plagiarism. Way back in the spring, my son and I spent an impromptu weekend camping at St. […]

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 […]
