Here are some details and reminders to help you decide:
-the cost is $7 per unit (as in per tent / vehicle), per night, Tina will bring a logbook and a petty cash to give people change (please try to bring exact cash or a cheque)
-there is no cell phone service at the camp, we assume people will arrive Friday and leave Monday, but we will deal with last minute changes as they happen
-each day we will be ready to go from camp at 9:30am as in lined up in shuttle format at the campsite (we typically organize the plan the night before and do a check-in in the morning)
-people can arrive early on Friday but the key for opening up the shelter and woodshed and bathrooms will be picked up early to mid-afternoon from Parks Canada
-the cold weather, cold water and early season / intermediate skill level = higher risks, we strongly recommend dry suits (also bring layers, extra pair of boots etc)
-everyone must have their own national park pass in their vehicle
-everyone must stop at watercraft inspection station when you see the sign
-come self-sufficient to camp in the cold (extra layers and boots etc), there is a fully enclosed cook shelter with a woodstove and outdoor wood fire pit, so far no fire ban there, bring your own water!!!
-there is a lot of wildlife including bears in the area – be sure to practice leave no trace and bring bear spray!
