Campers at Blackstone Territorial Park now have another option for accommodations.
A new cabin facility can sleep four people and includes two cots, a wood stove and two picnic tables.
With the park typically operating until the end of September each year, the new infrastructure is especially welcome as the temperature lowers.
Blackstone Territorial Park was named one of the most family-friendly campgrounds in Canada by Today’s Parent Magazine.
“We’re excited to offer this new amenity at Blackstone Park,” says Jennifer Thistle, Manager of Tourism and Parks for the Dehcho Region. “It’s a popular spot, especially for canoeists along the South Nahanni and Liard Rivers and the new accommodations will be warm and welcoming after a lengthy canoe trip.”
