Red Deer Log Cabins

I just took a booking for a campsite after the long weekend, and amazingly the client just did the most fantastic ad for my place.  Too bad I didn't have a tape rolling!  He got engaged here years ago, and is bringing twin daughters for a first camping outing.  And his new dog, who is a good boy.

Last Sunday and this Sunday.
Right now I have happy people in cabins, and camping.  Algonquin Park is full, so I am getting some overflow from there + my own campers.  Last week I had people who were abusive to me ignoring check out time.  The bathrooms are incredibly clean today.  It's funny that the woman who wrote the TripAdvisor review last week said that the bathrooms were clean last weekend, because they were a pigsty from my point of view.  I spent a lot more time bathroom checking and cleaning last weekend; the mess stopped when the unhappy people finally left.

No one has been confused about canoe rental :-)
People have spoken about the weather, but no one is afraid.  There is rain in the forecast. There was dew this morning though, so it likely won't happen.  15 minutes of rain would double the size of the blueberries.  The crop is lush, but they area little on the small side. More raspberries ripening every day.
​

I had chanterelles for breakfast...
Raspberries are just starting to ripen.  Saskatoon berries, also known as June Plums and Sugar Plums are on the bushes.  It looks like the strawberries, which were late, are finished.
I haven't had a chance to check for blueberries; they are likely in swing too.
​

I still have a cabin opening from tonight until Saturday, if anyone is interested.

There is a contest and entry form on this website.  Only a couple of people have entered.  Only one has entered numerous times.  That one has won the prize of a half day canoe rental.  Yay!  (confetti, horns)  Perseverence has it's rewards.
You can enter too.  Part of the contest is finding the entry form here  on the site.  

Well, wasn't that a party?!  All in all, a well behaved, happy bunch.  Mind you, about 80% of the place was return clients.  That always helps to set the tone.  One client brought LOTS of fireworks for everyone's enjoyment.

There was one camper who won't be coming back.  I don't tolerate people who purposely do damage and challenge my client guidelines at every turn.  The full story is on my Red Deer Log Cabins page on Facebook.  Anyone who doesn't want to cooperate can go and stay in a crowded, noisy, dirty campground.  That's not what we do here.

And now the summer, with waves of tourists.  There are still a few full weeks left for people looking for a full fledged vacation, as well as strings of a couple of days here and there.  Only a few full dates, so lots of opportunities still to rent a cabin.  Camping is available for any date at this time, whether you have a tent or a trailer.  2 nights free when you book a week...
