You'd have to either use a generator or camp off the grid so to speak - what we always do. This one is special in that there is a fridge in the cook house (at least there was when I was last there) but that's it. Maybe there's electrical sockets in there so you could run an extension cord out, but it would have to be a very looooong cord because the cook house is at the far end of the field and you have to park your RV in the parking area out front.<br />Hope that helps.<br />Tanya Koobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12420195832939118709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890065673266941779.post-60700691780621648552017-01-04T14:47:20.730-07:002017-01-04T14:47:20.730-07:00Hello Tanya, loved your blog and hoping to land a ...Hello Tanya, loved your blog and hoping to land a place for May long weekend. Just one question on the Alberta booking website it states that there is no power at GROUP sites. Is that right, you wrote they have fridge over there... so they have electricity but no power hookup for RV.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890065673266941779.post-12807833682510520382016-12-27T21:00:42.389-07:002016-12-27T21:00:42.389-07:00Do you know anything about the single capacities? ...Do you know anything about the single capacities?

Will look forward to reading of your experience there, as I've never been. I will let you know how we find Park Lake PP. Booking sites can be so challenging, agreed! It's right up there with booking kids' skating lessons through the city, ha ha. And there are lots of parks I'd love to try that don't take reservations, which is a bit frustrating, given that my husband really doesn't have flexibility to take off a couple of days early for the weekend. But maybe the kids and I will start heading out early once they're a touch older (6 and 4, currently), so we can try those first-come-first-served parks.Amanda MacKaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890065673266941779.post-84603085284242496142014-02-21T09:50:55.949-07:002014-02-21T09:50:55.949-07:00Yes, Amanda, it was ridiculous.

I seriously need to do a blog post about the challenges of booking campsites! There are too many people near Calgary that like camping and not enough reservable campsites.

Anyway, ...That was a ridiculous day, wasn't it? Anyway, when the site finally went back up, I started hitting refresh about 5 minutes before 9 am... and it went from 'too early' to 'taken' in the blink of an eye. :-( As did all my other top few choices... the competition is fierce for these group sites! I ended up with one at a park I had never even heard of - Park Lake PP near Lethbridge - and, although it's a less treed site than I would like, it is positively enormous, has a picnic shelter and some power outlets (a couple of friends have trailers) and seems to have its own little ring road for the kids to ride their bikes on without leaving our sight. It also has a lake and playground, so if we luck out with good weather and low mosquito levels, I think it's going to be great!Amanda MacKaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890065673266941779.post-6448124603624653282014-02-12T11:54:31.707-07:002014-02-12T11:54:31.707-07:00I hope you are able to book one.
