This was one of our favourite campgrounds on our roadtrip, maybe because it was so unexpected. We…read morefound it online, it was the right distance from Riding Mountain on our way West, and driving towards it we knew it was going to be great. The road rolls through these big green unexpected valleys cutting through the prairies. We moved through a fast and spectacular storm, and got to registration as the sun came out. The ranger gave us a remote and beautiful site near a bathroom, and charged us almost half of what Provincial parks in Ontario and BC charge. We loved walking through this incredible landscape, rushing river, cacti and evergreens in the same crazy place, prairie wind whipping clouds through the sunset and keeping any bugs away, stars coming out in the great big sky, just spectacular. The next day we went to check out the beach on the other side of camp. It was nice but a bit more industrial in its view, and more crowded with trailers. We decided to hit the road. We had a totally magic night here and would definitely try this campground again.

We arrived at 7:30 in the evening after a long drive from Edmonton. Having never been here before…read moreand since it was a Sunday night we were not surprised to find the campgrounds in the park were nearly empty and what appeared to be a registration booth was closed. It could be the same in BC or Alberta. We found a site in an empty area and set out to raise the tent trailer. It's a good thing the campground was nearly empty because there were few trees and therefore little privacy. I set-up the trailer while my wife drove back to get a park pass ($10.00 per night) plus pay the campground fee ($20.00 per night). Once I had nearly finished I received a series of texts from my wife saying that we are in seasonal area that is not rented out nightly. The registration guy wanted us to move to one of the empty sites across the access road. They were identical in all respects to our site except for even fewer trees. She explained to him that it's very hard to move a tent trailer once it's set up. He responded that we still must move from the group of empty sites that we were in to the area around 30 meters away. Finally after pressing her point he agreed that nobody is going to be using this spot tonight but tomorrow we must leave or move. We liked this location but there's nothing special about the campground; no showers, just two toilets with solar motion detection lights only worked in the daylight (they were very clean though) Nowhere were there signs suggesting that these are "occupied" or seasonally leased sites. This is not how you promote Saskatchewan tourism. On a more positive note, the river is nice, and for southern Saskatchewan, most would consider this to be a well treed area. It's far enough from major roads to be quiet. We did move the next day as they requested. But we moved to a a private campground near Swift Current. For $20 we got showers, Wi-Fi, etc. We didn't like Saskatchewan Landing but others might. See also tips as we had a unique experience when we lowered the trailer.
