Finding a CG has become such a frustrating pain in the....

We are planning 3 weeks this summer in Saskatchewan on a lake. Didn't think it would be that big a deal, as Sask has thousands of lakes.

I have a 93 year old aunt I want to visit, so I'm looking close to Swift Current.

Well gee whiz, its turned into a serious pain in rear. We have a rear window living area so want to back in to a site with a view of the lake or something nice.

Didn't think this would be so difficult.

Seems like there are now more RV'ers than CG's.

We have looked online at numerous places, tried booking one and all we can get is unsuitable sites.

Sigh.....

    I'm ok with that as long as our rear living area isn't staring at a neighbor or a garbage bin or something. We like to look out at something peaceful over our morning coffee.

    Oh, I figured I better get after it or I'll wind up Wallydocking in Regina or something....
    Didn't think it was too early.

    People are learning all over that you can not make short term reservations any more - I have 4 reservations for the winter of 2020 already - the last three parks we have stayed at on the Texas Gulf coast were 100% occupied
