Whether you’re an avid RVer or a first timer, this weekend will benefit everyone. They offer great seminars to increase your RVing knowledge. It is a fun weekend for the whole family, held this year on May 24th – 26th, so head over to their website to reserve your spot.
Visit an Alberta Parks Campground
While a good selection of Alberta Parks campgrounds remain open through the winter, many of the campgrounds that close seasonally begin to open again through the month of May. The popular Sylvan Lake campground, Jarvis Bay, is back open on May 9th, and the campground at Sibbald Lake Provincial Recreation Area opens on May 3rd. Visit Alberta Parks’ website to look through the opening dates of your favourite parks.
