May 8 – 10, 2009
First camping trip in our new trailer, it was a lot of fun but a huge learning experience for us as well. Our biggest error was in thinking that Miquelon Lake would have their water turned on, so we drove there and of course there were no water services at all. We ended up using the water my husband brought with us and still managed to be able to use the washroom, and the faucets which was really nice. Other items we forgot were a BBQ lighter, our pillows and cream. We ended up going home on Saturday morning to pick up more water and the items we forgot. The location is very handy as well, especially for us as we live only 30 minutes away - great spot for any family and a sure bet for a great camping spot if you live around the Edmonton area. We were also quite lucky we were with some experienced campers and they had extras of everything to borrow us; for example our power cord wasn't long enough and one of our friends had an extra. Whew that was lucky!
On the campground side, Miquelon Lake is great, very nice treed sites, new washroom facilities, and a great beach area with concession. Wonderful place to take the family but you had better watch out it books up fast! We would definitely camp at Miquelon Lake again and look forward to going there next time!
And I thought I was a wimp for "camping" at sites where you can drive in and set up your tent, rather than actually hiking in...
ReplyDeleteBut I can't really say anything right now, since I'm writing this from a villa in a Fairmont resort.
Hi. Loved your stories. You should write more. We love camping, too. I came across your blog when I googling Tillebrook. We are looking forward to out stay at that campground. Thanks,
