What does early Spring mean to Camping?

Posted on March 18, 2015 by rubberduckyblog

There has been a lot of excitement around Manitoba this past week. Seeing the snow almost gone on March 18 makes us feel like a kid on their way to Disneyland.
How does this affect our Campground? Well, most importantly is that we are well on our way to an early May pool opening. Second most important is that our Seasonal campers won’t have to trudge through snow when the power goes on.
Our virtual office (email and phone) is always open. Our physical office and RDR Grill & Concession will be open regular hours starting mid April Check the website and facebook page for updates . Until then we will be open by appointment only.
Most roadways are now accessible. Please keep in mind however that it will be wet and dirty at the campground for the next couple weeks.The Rec Building is also open. There is an information display set up with brochures, general information and pictures of what is hiding under the spring grime. If anyone is wanting to come check their campers, have a look around or get some information you are welcome to come out for a drive.

May Long weekend is only 58 days away, that’s only 130o hours.  Check out the website for some great early season camping specials.  Book your favourite campsite today.

May Long Weekend

Posted on February 10, 2015 by rubberduckyblog

As we are all well aware the weather on a Manitoba May Long weekend can go from Snow to Sunburn in the blink of an eye. It doesn’t seem to matter what that weather is though our Manitoba campers will still be here. We are a hardy bunch and love to get out and camp after this cold, dreary winter. But that weather also makes planning activities a little bit difficult. We always try to include an indoor plan or backup plan for any of our campground activities just in case. So, I have spent the last few months searching for  a new activity that would fit that bill. I think I have found something that everyone will be able to enjoy regardless of what Mother Nature throws our way. And it doesn’t matter if you are 5 years old or 65 we can all give it a try. Curbside Game Box will be coming to the campground on the Sunday afternoon of May Long Weekend.

Of course we are still hoping for a sunburn weekend and lots more to come this summer. Book your campsite now.

Wishful thinking and a contest too

Posted on January 11, 2015 by rubberduckyblog

How about that weather? Yup it sucks unless you are a Polar Bear. But it’s always an easy topic of conversation no matter which season: wow it’s hot? can you believe how much rain we got? We got 4 feet of snow how about you? And of course at this time of year: it’s so cold that…. Although we are still in a brutal cold streak the weather powers that be are saying we are headed for a warm up. This of course brings the question – do you think it will actually happen? Which brings me to my latest contest idea. When do you think the next day we will see a temperature above -10C will be? Will it be next week or next month or next year?
Contest details: go to our Rubber Ducky Facebook Page and find the post “Enter our Blog Contest”. Comment the next date you think our temperature will be above -10C. One entry per person.  Guesses must be made at least one day in advance. Winners will receive $10 Ducky Bucks. In the event of multiple winners the first 3 correct guesses will win. Official temperature will be determined by the thermometer located at Rubber Ducky Resort.
