Blue Lake Resort

I got some good news and… nevermind, just good news.

People are always asking me, “Shayne, why are you so handsome”. The key is lots of rest and genetics.

On a completely unrelated note, Blue Lake Resort now has CELL PHONE SERVICE!!!! You wanted it, we inadvertently received it, but will take credit for it nonetheless. No longer do you have to worry about being able to check up on your kids shenanigans while you are away, or have to come home to 43 facebook notifications. You an do it all lake-side while you bask in the sun and laugh at the silly Vancouverites who are stuck in the concrete jungle.

Before anyone gets too excited I do have to disclose some information. The only provider currently covered is telus. This means that Rogers, fido and all other carriers will still not work at Blue Lake. Also, the phone has to be on the 3g network. Older telus phones will not work as they operate on the CDMA as opposed to the new phones which has SIM cards and… okay I’ll stop. Anyways, them’s the breaks. If you want cell use, you need a telus phone that’s relatively new.

I would like to encourage you to not be scared by this, this is a good thing. I know the only reason most of you come is to get your husbands away from work, and do for the small fee of $5, I will personally check phones at the office, and proceed to throw them into the lake. You’re welcome.

Stay warm this winter, and plan to come back this summer, we miss you.

Send in the campers.

We like to do something to improve the camping experience every year and keep you coming back to check it out. As you may remember from last year we had added a sani-dump system to provide our RV campers with a unique and useful service, and this year we wanted to really dazzle you with something everyone could get excited about. But what to do?

Pave all of the roads to keep down dust? Too city-like.

Install a movie theater? You came here for the nature

Bring in Justin Beiber on the long weekends for special shows? We’ll consider it.

No, we wanted to do something that you’ve been thinking about yourselves since you first came here. You know what it is, don’t play coy. Alright I’ll tell you.

New Showers. Boom.

Thats right. We are finished construction on our brand new shower facilities, in a brand new building located right next to our current washrooms. The new building features four, count em, four shower stalls per gender for all of your showering needs. Say goodbye to waiting for your turn, now it’s everyones turn. Still not impressed? Okay.

New Laundry

Facilities. Fist-bump.

This has been something we wanted to get for a long time coming, and now it’s a reality. With this new building we can confidently provide a cleaner, more hygenic camping experience. Your wife is going to be thrilled.

In addition to the new building, we have made many changes to Blue Lake in response to customer feedback.

These include:

Back-up generators in the event of a power outage
The renovation of Rustic Cabin 3/4, which includes a full washroom with shower
Fresh paint in the Lodge kitchen, Lake 1 and Lake 2
Maple hardwood floors throughout the living space in the Lodge
New bathroom installed on the mainfloor of the Lodge
An upgraded wall between Cabin’s 6 & 7 to reduce noise transmission.
We replaced all the water in the lake with bottled water
A fast and easy internet access experience
Washed and scrubbed all local wildlife

We look forward to your presence on our lovely Resort this summer, please feel free to drop us an email with your responses to the new additions, as well as any suggestions for minor improvements while we still have time.

Your ruggedly handsome campground host.

Campfires in 2011 Allowed.

BlueLake — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 00:26:37 +0000

Due to recent communications with the Fire-center authorities, we have learned that starting next summer there will be fire ban exemptions issued to private campsites, of which we are one. This is due largely to the fact that we patrol and maintain our grounds, greatly reducing the possibility of a fire being started. So when you plan your summer next year, keep in mind that Blue Lake can offer the full camping experience with no strings attached.

Sincerely,

Shayne Findlay

CAMPFIRES…

BlueLake — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 23:53:58 +0000

Here is an excerpt from an email that the resort received this week about campfires. We are still permitted to have campfires for the July long weekend, however there are some notes to be made about the size of the fires we have and how to minimize potential forest fires. Please read below for more details.

“As we head into peak camping season, I want to remind people that more than 850 fires resulted from careless human behaviour in 2009. That number must come down,” said Bell. “We want people to enjoy the great outdoors, but not at the cost of public safety.” Under the new regulations, campfires cannot be larger 0.5 metres in height and 0.5 metres in diameter, or approximately a foot-and-a-half by a foot-and-a-half. Previously, campfires were permitted to a maximum size of one-metre by one-metre.”
-Forests and Range Minister Pat Bell
