Let me see - it was in the north loop and was N117 to N123. Any of those sites. Note that most of them are double sites so you'd need two families. N117 is a single though.<br />They are very open but we liked them. Also each site has two picnic tables which is unusual for double sites. Often you share one table.

It's very different from the Rockies where we usually camp.Tanya Koobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12420195832939118709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890065673266941779.post-15007530876704009972012-05-30T20:53:26.913-06:002012-05-30T20:53:26.913-06:00What a cool park!

We are always on the look out for those critters here in Georgia, but we don't have the extremely cold winters like you do. We actually kill between 20-30 black widow spiders on our back porch every summer. And no, that is not normal for this area. Usually, you just see a couple a year. Our house must have been built on their habitat or something. I have gotten very good at spotting their distinctive web. It is very thick and hard to break compared to most spider webs.Tiffanyhttp://alittlecampy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890065673266941779.post-17804216440651212362012-05-30T20:28:34.428-06:002012-05-30T20:28:34.428-06:00Thanks Jen.

Didn't like it at all, no privacy between sites (literally, nothing!), we were the only tent there in a sea of campers, the mgmt came and told us to take our tarps down even though it was raining. After, we figured out we stayed at the Dinosaur Trail RV Park, not Dinosaur Provincial Park! Big newbie mistake!! We still mean to check that one out now. But the last couple years our favourite is Aspen Beach out by Red Deer/Lacombe, we're having our third trip there in July.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350652706694004156noreply@blogger.com
