Hello Everyone,

I know you have all anxiously awaiting confirmation regarding the 2015 Escape Trailer Customer Appreciation Rally.

We have now received confirmation from the Nk'Mip Campground that they can accommodate us May 29th - 31, 2015.

The price will be $30/night plus applicable taxes, which includes:

If you require a handicap site please advise when you make your reservation.

OOhhh, I'm already planning a new route this time, let's get a caravan going with a group of Escapes following one another. It's on my calendar.

Just for clarity...
The old part of section C is the triangular loop of sites C-1 through C-76 (surrounding the original clubhouse); the new section to the south of that (left on the map) consists of sites C-77 through C-151 (surrounding the additional clubhouse with the Escape Rally events).

Thanks to Baglo for the clarification - the description didn't look right to me at first because I didn't realize there was an additional clubhouse - the whole south C loop is new since I last stayed at Nk'mip.

Basically the same locale in the campground where it was last year....

I'M GOING! (yes, I'm SHOUTING!)

I'm actually going to miss the Oregon Gathering this year in order to attend. That will be a first in a dozen years.

YaHoo ... Picking up our new 19' on the way to the rally, already have our orientation booked at ETI for 8:00 a.m. May 27 then off to the Nk'Mip. Looking forward to attending this year in an Escape.
See you there Donna

Can't wait to see the inside of your 19' in photos, Ian. Wonder if you have made any distinctive choices. Wish we could be at that rally.

Hi Cathy, wish you were able to make the event.
I'll post picture from the rally but not a lot special to see ... some custom work on the cabinets along with a long list of ETI installed items .... cannot do too many modifications while the wife is watching WIne rack and sound system are the first items on the "improvements" list.

We're driving out from Ontario and picking our '19' up on May 26th. Plan on going to Nk'Mip on the 28th. Looking forward to meeting lots of 'Escapees'.

For those attending I highly recommend some sort of shade protection, a lot of these sites are out in the open with little tree shade, I brought a handy shade canopy until the Shinook winds made me take it down, it does get very hot when sunny, it is in the desert area of BC.

The wind sure can pick up there, and as you mention the sun can get quite hot too, but I have always found that the wind is not too bad during the day when the sun is up, and our awning always is then. The only time I have ever got up in the night to retract my awning was at Nk'mip.

Those strong winds there are not Chinook winds though. Chinook winds only happen on the eastern slopes of the Rockies, in Southern Alberta. They are caused by moist wind from the Pacific coast cooling as it rises to flows over the mountains, the rapidly warming as it drops down the eastern slopes. The wind can be very fierce, but the warm weather usually associated with it during the cold of winter is often welcomed, although it can make a mess of the snow on the ground. Temperatures can rise over 20°C (36°F) in a few short hours. Ian, Gabi, and the rest of the Calgary/Southern Alberta gang, will have experienced many Chinooks.

Just sent in a reservation request. Hopefully I will hear back soon with confirmation and to give a deposit. In the past, they have not been all that great at communicating though, so will follow up in a few days with a phone call if I have not heard back.

Darn! I wanted that site.
So, this year they are taking reservations for specific sites?
