Provincial Parks Open for Autumn

Die-hard and moderate campers alike can still pull the RV and boat out to over 20 Provincial parks this month, as fall camping allows folks to enjoy the crisp autumn air in their home away from home.

“September may be here but there’s still plenty of time to get out and enjoy our parks,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Gene Makowsky said in a recent media release. “Fall in Saskatchewan’s parks is truly a special time. Families can take in the warm sunny days and crisp nights around the campfire, all while being surrounded by the natural beauty of the changing season.”

 

Many parks will still offer full amenity access throughout  this month, these campsites include Bronson Forest, Buffalo Pound, Cypress Hills, Duck Mountain, Great Blue Heron, Makwa Lake, Moose Mountain, Rowan’s Ravine and The Battlefords Provincial Parks.

 

Be sure to book your RV site in advance to ensure the best location for your autumn get-away.  The sites can be booked through the online reservation system at www.saskparks.goingtocamp.com or by calling 1-855-737-7275.

 

Are you interested in camping, but lack the equipment, the means to pack or transport it?

Camp-Easy equipped campsites such as Buffalo Pound, Echo Valley and Pike Lake Provincial Parks can be reserved at www.tourismsaskatchewan.com/places-to-go/provincial-parks/campeasy.

 

As in the summer months, campgrounds that are available exclusively on a first-come, first-served, self-registration basis are listed on Sask Parks fall camping page at www.tourismsaskatchewan.com/places-to-go/provincial-parks/camping/fall-camping.
