We hosted a couple for a tour of the campground this week. Despite the lack of leaves on the trees, they loved the property. They have a large RV and found that the cost of hauling it for individual weekend reservations was becoming impractical. To get more use out of their investment and make the most of this year’s camping season, they decided to choose a seasonal site. They were particularly impressed with our two

People are excited about camping next year, we’ve reserved ten new sites for ten new guests who are planning ahead for next year in just the last month!

Hi there, It’s been a whirlwind of camping fun since our last blog after May Long Weekend, and things are really coming together here at A Stones Throw RV Campground! We have so many exciting updates to share. Last year, the two main pieces of feedback we received were requests for a pathway around the water and a community fire pit area for gathering. We’re happy to announce that we’ve made significant progress on both!

Hello Camper, Welcome to another blog update from A Stones Throw RV Campground. We have had our fourth May Long Weekend as a campground and the weather was typical for Southern Alberta, all four seasons wrapped into one day 🙂 The grass is green, leaves are bursting out of buds, and the lilacs are in flower, it’s a magical time of the year.
