The sad news is, summer officially ends next month. The good news is, there is still time to enjoy what’s left of our sunny season! And if you’re looking to add some fun adventure to your summer, check out comfort camping at Alberta Parks.
If you’re wondering what that is, comfort camping is a convenient alternative to traditional camping, according to Alberta Parks. “We have various styles of comfort camping accommodations in parks across the province.”
These accommodations include cabins, huts, ‘glamping’ tents, and yurts, and their rates start at $100.
While some of these spots are seasonal with bookings ending in September, other are open year-round so you can even book it for fall.
And these are still available for the coming weeks, so get your bookings in before summer ends! Wondering where to go?
