May Long Caroline area

[iamcanadian]

I've camped west of Caroline to the trunk road, in that area in the summer and fall, and it wasn't busy at all. We're plainning on headiing out there for May long, does it get ridiculously busy out there, or would I be able to find a spot for 5 trailers without a problem?

will likely be busy depending on weather, get a fluz map of areas you are allowed to quad in. been some bad weather out there the last couple of years.

I checked the fluz map, there's no chance we'll be riding in any of those areas... but thanks for the heads up, it's always a good thing to check before we ride. As for the long weekend, I'm sure it's like anywhere else... take your chances and hope for a rainy foreacst so fewer people show up, I think we'll head oout on Thursday, just to be safe.

It's a government of Alberta site
If you type in fluz map in the search area, you should be able to find one for the area you are searching for. Forest Land Use Zone

forestry officers have no sense of ho ho at this time of year, they like handing out welcome tickets, and usually have a long list of fines they hand out. used to try to educate people, now they educate through your wallet.

We'll be out in that area as well. A good place to get a few rigs into: take 54west through Caroline, keep going west past the 22 north turn off...turns into 591 (still paved), go about 20 or 25km to RR82 on your left. This RR is a big loop that comes back onto 591....lots of random camp spots along there. There is another offshoot south off RR82 that goes right to the river and a Cadet camp. A bit tight for larger rigs.

ya... same experience for me... we showed up on wednesday to find 10 trailers in the spot we were thinking of and porbably 30 trailers by saturday. Anyway, we were happy to drive 15 km up the gravel to find a quiet spot big enough for us to enjoy the weekend. May Long... I guess it's to be expected.

Last year someone had a trailer squatted in there for a good chunk of the summer.
