If you grew up in Alberta, odds are good that you've gone camping at least once or twice. Our province is full of amazing campsite options no matter where you happen to live! As a child, one of the most exciting things about the change in season is getting to spend more time running around outdoors. With camping comes fun things like making s'mores, spending time at the lake, and running around with your friends all day.

As you get older and go camping, you're probably less inclined to want to sleep in a tent on the floor, and much more inclined to rent out a beautiful cabin with your BFFs for a few days over the summer! (Don't worry, you can still roast plenty of marshmallows - but you'll also be able to get an awesome night's sleep in a cozy bed).
Even if camping wasn't a major part of your childhood, why not start now? We tend to spend so much time cooped up in our houses and on our phones these days that a little vacation to the great outdoors may be exactly the kind of detox you need. Hit up your closest friends, pack a cooler full of snacks and your favourite boozy beverages, and hit the road to spend some time at one of these amazing Alberta cottages this summer:
