Yup. I am going camping. I am finally breaking my nearly 27 year streak of never going camping. Oh, I’ve dreamed about tenting up for an evening and I’ve even done the research on glamping (note: this post was written September 2010.) It still hasn’t happened for me.
But the date is set and in a couple of weeks, Byron and I will be sleeping under the stars. Though I probably won’t be sleeping – I’ll be holding my breath listening to every single creak and crackle in the forest. Luckily, Byron is an experienced camper and so are the friends we are going with. It will be a magical weekend in the woods and I can’t wait until I can say I am going on my second camping trip!
Where do you like to go camping? Any great Alberta or BC spots that I must hit up this summer with all of my fresh-out-of-the-bag camp gear?

Both Banff and Jasper NP have some great campgrounds! Tons of space, a good vibe, and (mostly) hot showers. We also camped at Robson Shadows Campground near Jasper and that was a lovely spot as well – brilliant views and right on the river.
Enjoy your camping – I’m super bummed that we probably won’t be able to go camping this year.
Oh and glamping…it’s amazing. We stayed in the tent cabins at Rock Water Secret Cove Resort on the Sunshine Coast for our mini-moon.
Thanks so much for the tips, Adina! I hope you make it out camping this summer! xo
Check out Lussier hot springs in the Columbia river valley in bc. Lots of camping nearby, nice natural hot springs and not too far from Calgary! Jeff and I’ve been there a bunch of times. Have fun camping!!
Oooh that sounds incredible, Sarah! Hot springs is a huge plus! Thanks!
