Can you accommodate 5th wheel RV at 37′ with 30 or 50 amp power needs.
Hi Dan,
Wapiti campground has plenty of sites than can accommodate a 37′ RV, but the electric hookup sites (1-21) are only 15-amp.
Is there swimming allowed?
There are areas you might be able to swim/float in the the river close to Wapiti, but the water may be swift/cold.
Hello,
Do you allow car parking in your RV site? I am planning to reserve a tent site that allows RV. Instead I am going to bring in my car.
HI Sam,
Yes you can park a car in your RV site. Have a great trip.
We will be staying in Wapiti Campground next month for a week. Really looking forward to it. What advice would you offer about cooking outdoors/grilling during our stay?
Hi Gary,
You should love Wapiti campground and the area . . . much to see and do there.
Here’s a couple of tips for cooking/grilling in the great outdoors:
– Plan and prepare your meals/food before hand and freeze them (especially the meat).
– Cook on or over coals (either wood or charcoal) as this will give you a more steady, event heat without the smoke.
– Heavy aluminum foil always comes in handy.
– A net/screen tent-enclosure (one that fits over the picnic table) is nice to have as there may be some evening bugs
Anyone else have some camping/outdoor cooking tips for Gary?
