bigalcal Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Rocky Mountain Camping is no longer the private operator for the campgrounds on the Forestry Trunk Rd , South. They will now be run by Alberta Parks. These campgrounds include Racehorse Creek, Dutch Creek, Oldman River and Livingston Falls. It has come to my attention that firewood will not be available on site for campers this season. Just a heads up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrinhurst Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I am hoping to finally pay a visit to the fabled "Cutty Hut" this coming season. No promises, but I like the sounds of the place and the area is wicked nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonvilly Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 So thats about 5 months? $400 a month isn't too bad. Does that include wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Not anymore. [quote name="BiggyJ" post="201714" timestamp="1458951540" Does that include wood? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalcal Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 My first year was $700....then Alberta Parks got involved. Wood was never included but was at least available. Firewood doesn't grow on trees!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesG Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 What a surprise!! camping fees continue to climb every year, yet services being offered continue to decline. Not that I would ever buy firewood anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
