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 […]

Icefields Tent – Jasper National Park – review

October 7, 2021 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

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 […]

I Hate Voting!

September 19, 2021 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

I hate voting. I do! I really, really do. Elections. Campaigning. Polling. Entering a middle school gym thirty-five years after I rightfully belong in one. The little golf score-keeping pencils. All of it, I hate. I also hate democracy and FREEDOM. At least, I think that’s how the progression from patriot to traitor goes according […]

Lake Louise Campground – Banff National Park – review

July 13, 2021 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

If you found it odd that I’d never been to Waterton Lakes National Park before May 2021 despite living in Alberta for over twenty years, then brace yourself for another shock. I’d also never seen Moraine Lake until June of 2021. And Moraine Lake is a lot closer to my house than Waterton. Arguably more […]

Waterton Townsite Campground – Waterton Lakes National Park – review

June 11, 2021 by acrockofschmidt 4 Comments

Umm. Yeah. So, I … well … I booked a campsite for the May long weekend. In Alberta. In a mountain park, no less. Yeah … … I know. In fact, I haven’t gone camping on May’s legendary long weekend in several years precisely because I know! But the last few May long weekends have […]

Two Jack Lakeside Campground – Banff National Park – review

January 11, 2021 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Remember 1999? Amidst the anticipation of the coming new millennium and the growing Y2K panic, George Lucas gave millions of now-grown-up Star Wars fans the first of three prequels to his legendary space opera. The hype was unsurprisingly intense and the reviews, perhaps equally unsurprising, were mixed. I landed firmly in the disappointed camp and […]
