With the current state of affairs with international tariffs a lot of Snow Birds are selling their American get-aways, canceling their trek south and looking for a new place to park their RV this year. Budget is important people, especially when you are retired and working with a pension! Camping should be economical without annual surprises of increasing rates. Now entering our fourth season, A Stones Throw RV Campground has not increased a rate since

Hi! We are a growing camping community and looking for 2025 Camp Hosts! Last year was our first year of having camp hosts who worked one week on one week off, helping us keep our washhouses immaculate and keeping an eye on things. Our two best complements over the last three years has been 1. How peaceful and quiet it is out here and 2. How clean we keep our facilities. We built them new,

Seasonal guests of A Stones Throw RV Campground have gotten to know the Monner family pretty well, the same people who developed the campground work there every day. If you like take the time to read our Google Reviews some day, apparently we’re not too hard to get along with 😉 On several occasions we find ourselves chatting with a guest and we will wave at a local airplane flying overhead.

Hi! We are back! It has been six years since our little family last went on an airplane trip to a warm place and this year we decided we needed to get away and recharge. It has been a long six years, development of the campground and operating it for the last three years feels like it has been more than just six years.

A little over a month ago A Stones Throw RV Campground had the opportunity to host the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) 38th Annual Star Party. The Milky Way was visible from horizon to horizon thanks to neighbours, The Milo Fire Hall, and Canadian Natural all shutting off their outdoor lights for the event. Guests and Star Party visitors could not believe how dark our campground became and how bright the stars were as

Do you like birds? Do you know someone who likes birding? If so we have an opportunity for you to check off some Birthday / Mother’s Day / Christmas present shopping off the list.

I was born and raised in a dark sky environment. Stars were always bright and vivid growing up on a farm. I remember hearing stories of people living in cities who have never seen the stars, I still think it’s hard to believe.
