Who: The Beck family from Fernie, B.C.

Where: Wasa Lake Provincial Park Campground, Wasa, B.C.

Are you regular visitors to this campground? No, we just bought our trailer this year and this is our second trip. The kids love sleeping in it in the backyard, though.

Have you picked up any tricks yet about packing? Well, I always tend to overpack, but now that’s OK because I have plenty of space in the trailer. I think it’s a good idea to pack the night before we leave, so that I have a chance to remember things I might have forgotten.

Do you see a lot of RVing in your future? I hope so. It gives us the time to spend with our kids with none of the distractions that we have at home. It’s good for my husband and me to have that kind of time together, too.
