1 night at Athabasca RV Hideaway

Adrian met us as we pulled in and told us we were at the right spot. He showed us where we could park and told us the grassy area was ours to use. He offered us whatever we needed to make our stay pleasant. Later in the evening he and his son had to move the ducks and goose to the barn. They checked with us to make sure we were ok with that. Afterwards we had a great visit with both of them. The place was very relaxing. Definitely a great host and a great place to stay.

Weekend Trip to Athabasca RV Hideaway

Great little camping spot at Adrian’s place. It’s our second time camping there and gives us easy access to Jasper and the Hinton bike park. Super friendly host. Great eggs that he sells.

Weekend Trip to Athabasca RV Hideaway

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay on Adrian’s land. Adrian and his family made us feel very welcome. We loved seeing them round up the ducks and geese each evening, and even got to hold some recently hatched baby ducks. We purchased fresh chicken eggs which were delicious and dry firewood that allowed us to have a wonderful fire one evening. Great communication from host, easy parking with private space and conveniently located close to Jasper National Park. Highly recommend!
