Firewood At Provincial Parks On Forestry Trunk Road -South

[bigalcal]

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.

Are they still allowing seasonal campers?

[bigalcal]

Yes....I'm one of them.

Whew, I was worried that the cutty hut was in danger of being homeless once again.

[bigalcal]

All good...I'm there May 14-October 2!!

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.

if you don't mind me asking, how much is seasonal down there Mr. B?

I'm there 140 days so I paid $14/day x 140 days=$1960. Last year I was there 80 days total .payment is paid up front. Ouch!!! But worth it.

very cool! how much of a deal per day is that vs the normal rate for "the hut" , I can't remember

 

you were there for 80 days, holy wow, are you retired?

[jasonvilly]

So thats about 5 months? $400 a month isn't too bad.

 

Does that include wood?

[ÜberFly]

Not anymore.

[bigalcal]

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!!

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!!
