Camping in Manitoba

Manitoba camping ranges from the rocky lake country of the Whiteshell and the Canadian Shield in the east, to Lake Winnipeg's broad sand beaches, to the prairie-pothole grasslands of the south, to Riding Mountain's elevated plateau and Spruce Woods' sand hills further west. Private campgrounds concentrate around the major recreational lakes — Falcon, West Hawk, Clear Lake, Lake of the Prairies — and along the Trans-Canada and Yellowhead routes.

Season is generally mid-May to early October. Mosquito pressure is highest in late June, and the camping calendar is punctuated by Folklorama and the major fishing tournaments on Lake of the Prairies and the Whiteshell chain. Manitoba Parks reservations open in early spring on the provincial booking system; private operators typically take direct reservations online or by phone.
