We popped our cherries at George Lane Municipal Campground in High River, Alberta. That may sound like a typical prairie high school prom story but alas, it isn’t. In this case, it’s the simple tale of our first ever camping excursion as RV owners. The year was 2011. Summer. We had purchased our very first […]
Astotin Lake Campground – Elk Island National Park – review
Chalk one up for us little guys. I regularly mock massive RV owners. Usually just in my head. And certainly never in person. It’s one of those petty judgments we all secretly relish. I am well aware that they are by far in the majority when it comes to travel trailer choice. The storage lots […]

Jeremy’s Bay Campground – Kejimkujik National Park – review
