SaskParks Kicks Off First Ever Winter Camping Reservations For 2021

Saskatchewan Parks has opened the Winter camping for the season at Buffalo Pound, Cypress Hills, Duck Mountain, Echo Valley, Great Blue Heron, Moose Mountain and Pike Lake Provincial Parks. Nightly camping fees are decreased for the period of November 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022 to reflect the reduced services during the winter months. You can choose between electrical sites ($29 a night) and non-electrical sites ($16 a night).

“We are pleased to offer online winter camping reservations in Sask Parks for the first time ever. We know many families will be staying close to home again this season, so we want to ensure there will be a variety of nearby winter experiences and overnight opportunities available for everyone to enjoy
— Laura Ross, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister

For those who want to enjoy the winter camping experience but prefer additional comfort, warmth and convenience, three Camp-Easy yurts are available at Echo Valley and two Camp-Easy tents at Cypress Hills. The sites are equipped with cots, camp chairs, a propane camp stove, wash bin and axe. Camp-Easy sites are $65/night and can also be booked ahead of time, online.

Valid park entry permits are required year-round in provincial parks. 2021 permits, valid until March 31, 2022, are available at a reduced rate of $40. Annual permits will provide access to winter camping, activities and programs at all participating parks.
