Now that the weather is finally nice most of us have the itch to get our campers out, spruced up, and on the road to our favorite camping spot so we can enjoy our summer. Well this season it is looking very different thanks to Covid-19.
Provincial campsites will all remain closed until after a government assessment on June 21, 2020. However, the private camp grounds are under county discretion as long as they comply with rules set out by Alberta Health Services. Here’s what to prepare for this Covid camping season:
We have found some campgrounds around central and southern Alberta that are following these guidelines and hoping to open to campers June 1.
Let’s not let this discourage us from enjoying one of our all-time favorite summertime traditions, as with like the rest of our lives this is our new normal until we can get this virus under control. Happy camping!

What to Expect Your First Time
It’s your first time renting a storage unit and you want everything to go right. Problem is – you’ve never

the facility you chose requires a damage deposit, admin fee, charges for a gate fob or supplies the lock
