If you bring a trailer.
The house rules say no parking on the grass, and events need the lodge's prior approval. Ask the lodge whether a trailer is allowed and where it could be placed.
A good starting point is about one stall per 50 guests for a four to six hour event. Run your numbers through the wedding washroom calculator, read how many washrooms a wedding needs, and walk the site with the acreage wedding washroom checklist.
Quoted for your date and venue. The quote depends on the number of days, whether there is water on site, and the distance from Calgary. Delivery and other charges may apply.
- Our two-stall executive luxury trailer has 2 private flushing rooms with warm running water
- It carries its own fresh water and waste tanks, so no plumbing hookup is needed
- By the one stall per 50 guests rule, its two rooms suit about 100 guests. For more, talk to us about the plan
- It needs a level spot a truck can back into, power within reach or a generator, and water from a hose tap or brought in
- Water on site, such as a hose tap, lets us fill the fresh tank. No water at the venue? We bring it in for an added fee.
We deliver, level, set up, and pick up the trailer ourselves.

Are there washrooms at Folk Tree Lodge?
The bathrooms are inside the three guest cabins: 2 in the Deer House, 3 in the Beaver House and 1 in the Little Red House, for 6 in total when all three are booked. The Deer House is the cabin with the sunroom the lodge describes as ideal for events. The lodge runs on a septic system and asks guests to flush less toilet paper and nothing else. Its About page also lists a compostable toilet among its composting practices. The site does not say which bathrooms event guests or day visitors use. Ask which cabin bathrooms your event guests may use, including day visitors who are not staying overnight, and how far the cabins are from the spot you have in mind. Ask what approval and conditions apply to a party, event or ceremony with your guest count, and how day visitors are confirmed. Ask how the quiet hours of 8:30pm to 9:00am, with no outdoor music, shape your evening. Details change, so confirm with the venue.
How far is Folk Tree Lodge from Calgary?

Can we bring a washroom trailer to Folk Tree Lodge?
Ask Folk Tree Lodge whether an outside washroom trailer is allowed and, if so, where it can park. Our trailer needs a reasonably level spot a truck can back into, standard power within reach or a generator, and water from a hose tap or brought in. It carries its own fresh water and waste tanks, so no plumbing hookup is needed. Water on site, such as a hose tap, lets us fill the fresh tank. No water at the venue? We bring it in for an added fee.
