1. Campsite Comfort: Essentials for Your Fully Serviced Lot The beauty of a fully serviced lot is the ease it brings! Here’s what you’ll want to remember for your RV or trailer:

Power Cord & Adapters: Ensure you have the correct length and any necessary adapters (e.g., 30 amp to 50 amp, or vice-versa if you need one).
Water Hose & Pressure Regulator: A potable water hose is crucial, and a pressure regulator protects your RV’s plumbing from varying water pressure.
Sewer Hose & Connections: Make sure your sewer hose is in good condition with secure fittings for hassle-free hookups.
Leveling Blocks/Chocks: Even on relatively level ground, these ensure your RV is stable and comfortable.
Outdoor Rug/Mat: Keeps dirt out of your RV and provides a nice outdoor living space.
Camp Chairs & Tablecloth: For relaxing outside your rig and keeping picnic tables clean.
Lanterns & Headlamps: Essential for navigating your campsite after dark.

2. Dive In! Tubing & Water Fun Gear Tystar Campground is your gateway to refreshing water adventures. Don’t forget these items for your tubing excursions:

Swimsuits & Towels: Obvious, but easy to forget! Bring quick-drying options.
Life Jackets (PFDs): While tubing might be leisurely, safety first! Always recommended, especially for children.
Waterproof Bags/Dry Bags: To keep phones, keys, and snacks safe and dry.
Water Shoes/Sandals: Protect your feet from rocks and riverbeds.
Sunscreen & Hats: Protect yourself from the Alberta sun.
Inflatables/Tubes: Bring your own, or inquire about rental options if available locally.
