Two Nights in Grand Teton National Park

July 20, 2023 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Conventional wisdom says you need to be controversial to get noticed on social media. So, here’s my stab at it. Grand Teton National Park is overrated. I don’t know. Maybe it was unfair sandwiching it between Yellowstone and Glacier? That’s some hefty competition, after all. Like standing me between Brad Pitt and Chris Helmsworth and […]

Beauvais Lake Provincial Park – review

June 27, 2023 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

When it comes to Beauvais Lake Provincial Park, the third time really was the charm. Twice previously we had booked a weekend of camping at this park and twice previously we had to cancel that reservation. Undeterred, in 2023 I once again reserved a campsite at Beauvais Lake and Lady Luck smiled upon my perseverance. […]

Crimson Lake Provincial Park – review

September 24, 2018 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Hanging out in a trailer while it rains during the day is one of the most underappreciated joys in life.  That may sound counterintuitive since most campers are hoping to be outside enjoying the sun and warmth and beauty of the natural world.  That is, presumably, the entire purpose of camping.  But the odd daytime […]

South Kouchibouguac Campground – Kouchibouguac National Park – review

September 10, 2018 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

As of this exact moment, we have camped in eight of Canada’s national parks.  We’ve also stayed in two others (hotels) and driven through four others, since we’re keeping stats.  With each new national park we visit, our affection for these Canadian treasures grows exponentially.  So too does our expectation, I suppose, which is why […]

Chignecto Campground – Fundy National Park – review

September 4, 2018 by acrockofschmidt 4 Comments

When a new adventure is about to begin, I’m always emotionally on edge.  It starts a few days, sometimes even weeks, beforehand and doesn’t subside until we are wheels to the highway in the direction of our first destination.  Even then some anxiety lingers until we have settled into our first campsite, content that nothing […]

Robson Meadows Campground – Mount Robson Provincial Park – review

January 16, 2018 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Some campgrounds are just not meant for spending a lot of time in, and Robson Meadows Campground at Mount Robson Provincial Park is one such campground.  This is not to say Robson Meadows is a terrible campground.  It’s a fine, serviceable campground by most standards.  It’s just that this isn’t a place you go to […]
