It was charming and perfect with the moss covered tress and soft moss covered earth all around.
The huge trees covered by moss really made a nice separation between each site so it felt like we were more secluded.
After lots of research we chose to camp in the Wapiti Campground. After driving around to some other campgrounds we were happy with our choice and would stay their again. Wabasso Campground would be our 2nd (if you’re wondering).
We felt like it was a mix of Glacier National Park and the Pacific Northwest as well.
We saw a huge Elk 🦌 at the kitchen shelter that was around 5-6 point bull! And a few Black bears in our campground as well!
Oh, and let’s not forget the endless hot showers for FREE.
They also had a nice fun playground for the kids!
Alberta parks seriously have it going on. We felt spoiled.
