Camping Creston

Erickson, BC

Mountain Park Resort

Site #10: $50 (x2) p/w

We made the 1 1/2 hr trip to Erickson/Creston yesterday. We have stayed here a couple times. It is rather too close to the highway noise but the rushing Goat River below helps block out that sound and the nights are quiet.  Grandson Andrew and Lauren live up the road so hopefully we will get a chance to visit.   

We have a great view from our site. A couple from Manitoba bought this place a few years ago and their parents and kids moved here with them to help manage. They are very friendly hard working people!

There is a cool little Cantina spot next to our site. It looks like they may serve drinks and snacks from there during the busy season. They also have a TV available so a couple of people were catching the Edmonton vs Vegas game last night. Can you spot Ronald?

We opted for a propane fire last night. Sometimes it is just nice to avoid the smoke and sparks!! 

We need to adjust to the time change that happened when we passed through Yahk yesterday. I did manage to sleep in a bit this morning which helps. Unfortunately today is cloudy with rain on and off. We should have saved our grocery shopping for today. It was busy in town with a bustling market taking place.

We will move along to another of our old stomping grounds at Midway tomorrow.  It sounds like our friend Steve, the retired teacher from Australia, still manages the place! 

And today is Mother's Day. A first without mine 😢  

I will finish off my post with this camping beauty....

Update: Andrew and Lauren will drop by after lunch so it will be good to catch up with them.
