Explore Magazine put together a list of the Top 25 Campsites in Canada…Two of which are in Manitoba!

 

If you’re planning a summer camping trip and have the time to travel outside of our province there some great places to check out! If you want to camp but stay closer to home, 2 of the 25 Top Places to Camp are here in Manitoba. The first lands in the #10 spot!

 

#10. Nopiming Provincial Park, Manitoba

 

 

The main draw: Quiet Nopiming Provincial Park possesses all the qualities of its southern neighbour, the Whiteshell, except for one—it doesn’t have too many visitors. The park’s lakes and rivers combine into excellent canoe routes through the Canadian Shield on the Manitoba-Ontario border. A woodland caribou herd wanders its northern reaches and moose and wolves are commonly seen. With only 36 sites, Tulabi is not only the closest campground in the park to Winnipeg but also the most private, with its own beach right on the Bird River canoe route.

#11. Riding ?Mountain ?National Park, Manitoba

The main draw: A forested highland jutting out of the Manitoba prairie, Riding Mountain stands in stark contrast to the surrounding farmland. Famed Canadian conservationist Grey Owl, who came here in 1931 (with his celebrity beavers Jelly Roll and Rawhide) to be the “keeper of native animals,” described the park as “a land of coyotes, elk, jumping deer, and some darned good view[s].” There’s no better place to stay than the Whirlpool Campground—it’s only 15 minutes from the full-service town of Wasagaming, yet the tent-only, walk-in sites sit on a quiet lake, the campground is rarely busy, and some of the best trails in the park start only a short drive away.
