Refuge Bay
If there are any parts of camping that normally make the activity less appealing, then glamping is the perfect solution! With “glamping,” or comfort camping, campers receive several comforts of home while avoiding having to haul equipment out to the campground. Simply arrive and enjoy the campsite! Among the different ways to camp are several types of accommodation which get you closer to nature without the tent experience.
And one of the best among those for a trip to Alberta is the geodome accommodations, or geodesic domes. Why are these so great for camping in Alberta?
The geodome experience often includes enough warmth to enable year-round use, vast panoramic views for stargazing or wildlife viewing, and that feeling of being much closer to nature.

The geodome campsites vastly range in price, so they are suited to an array of travel budgets.
