Blacknot Farm

11 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Saint Andrews, MB
We have been recycling this farm for years. It was owned previously by a couple who worked for a nursery and they planted many varieties of trees. Later it was part of a Manitoba pilot project for hi-bred poplar so there is a 14 acre poplar forest that was planted on a grid. It is a very unique place. We love it here and hope you do too! Learn more about this land: Enjoy over 40 beautiful acres within the heart of the prairies at Blacknot Farm! Perfect for pitching a tent or parking your RV, camper van, or trailer. A wonderful family-friendly getaway only 20 minutes north of Winnipeg, and 10 minutes from Selkirk, Manitoba. There is outdoor access to restrooms, water, and electricity on the property. With 5 sites to choose from, you can select a very quiet and peaceful spot in the trees or field or choose to be closer to the house and barn with wifi signal, running water and flush toilets. While you’re here, you can go on nature walks, raid the garden, play yard games, enjoy a bonfire, and explore the woods. If interested, ask for a tour of the 3 season party hayloft with antiques, vintage video games, an old pool table, and a zip line. We have stationary and portable fire pits for your campsite. We can help with some firewood for campfires, a picnic table to enjoy your meals, and potable water that is available through a tap (both hot and cold water). All sites can be accessed by a traditional car, no off-roading or 4-wheel drive vehicle is needed.  If you’re interested in exploring the area,  Selkirk, Manitoba has plenty of fishing and a marine museum.  We are also a short drive to Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site. Oak Hammock Marsh Wildlife Management Area is a 17-minute drive. One of North America’s birding hotspots and a great destination for people of all ages! This 36km2 Wildlife Management Area features a restored prairie marsh, aspen-oak bluff, waterfowl lure crops, artesian springs, some of Manitoba’s last remaining patches of tall-grass prairie and 30 kilometres of trails for you to explore. Gimli or New Iceland is about a 30-minute drive north and is a great summer or winter destination. Rich in history, art, culture and outdoor discovery it has many restaurants, lovely beaches and the New Iceland Heritage Museum. In the spirit of truth and reconciliation we acknowledge that Blacknot Farm is in the heart of Treaty One territory the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Cree, and Dakota peoples and the Homelands of the Metis Nation. We respect the treaties made on this land and acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and present. We stand committed to building positive relationships rooted in a spirit of genuine reconciliation as we move forward. I look forward to hosting you!

Forest & Herb Farm by the Beach

1 site · Lodging80 acres · Scanterbury, MB
A stone’s throw from the beaches of southeastern Lake Winnipeg, Cityfolk Farm is home to 80 acres of wide open fields, a medicinal herb farm, and forests of poplar, pine, alder, and willow for you to explore. THINGS TO DO... Say hello to the chickens roaming the land, enjoy a relaxing walk through our forest labyrinth, tour the medicinal herb farm (@awakenherbs), meet our Great Pyrenees, Willow the gentle giant, swim at a beach with some of the finest sands in the world (a 15 minutes' drive away), and relax in a hammock, gently swayed by the breeze. THE CAMPER... Stepping into this vintage RV is like stepping back in time to the 1970s. The camper sleeps 4-6 (2 adults and 4 kids is workable), with a master bed area, a convertible kitchen booth, and a bunk above the driver's area. Equipped with bedding, towels, cloth napkins, board games, and more, we have tried to anticipate your needs. The kitchen is stocked with some basic ingredients such as spices, s&p, oats, tea herbs, oils, and honey and in the cupboards you'll find dishes and utensils. The stove in the RV is not in use, so you can enjoy the BBQ just outside the door, or use the communal campground kitchen. There is a composting toilet in the camper bathroom, and you'll also have access to the campground composting toilet outhouse and outdoor shower. There is no running water in the camper - there is a water dispenser in both the kitchen and bathroom for drinking and hand-washing. WHERE WE ARE... A stone’s throw from the beaches on the southeastern shores of Lake Winnipeg, 45 minutes north of Winnipeg, just 10 minutes to Gull Lake, 15 to Patricia Beach & the Brokenhead Wetland Interpretive Trail, and 20 minutes to Grand Beach, which features sands ranked in the top 10 worldwide. WHO WE ARE... Our family of six moved to the country from Winnipeg (hence the name Cityfolk Farm). We learn and work from home, run a re-skilling festival (@takerootfest), and a medicinal herb farm (@awakenherbs). Fostering a connection with nature and cultivating community is at the heart of all we do. WHOSE LAND... The land now stewarded by our family (Cityfolk Farm) is part of Treaty 1 territory and the ancestral land of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Metis Nation. We acknowledge that we are on stolen land, and we continue to learn about both the harm that was done and the beautiful history and traditions of tending land & people of the Indigenous nations who suffered and continue to be negatively impacted by colonialism. We are working to be conscious of and active in reconciliation and welcome relationship and collaboration with Indigenous communities. We encourage all who are connected to the farm, festival, farm stays and other events here to dig into this learning as well, and come to the land in thoughtfulness and gratitude.

Camping near Winnipeg guide

Overview

Bisected by the Assiniboine and the Red rivers, Winnipeg is at the centre of it all. Any visit to the Manitoba capital should start where it all began—Indigenous people have gathered at The Forks for more than 6,000 years and the intersection is still the heart of town and now home to a public orchard, an urban garden, and a food market, plus plenty of opportunities to paddle out on the water. Walk nearby to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the only museum of its kind, whose Tower of Hope dominates the city skyline. From the famously cold corner of Portage and Main, try the excellent Exchange District restaurants that sit out to the Assiniboine Park Conservancy, where polar bears swim year-round. And the Winnipeg camping? Some of the province’s best parks are just beyond city limits.

Where to go

Bird's Hill Provincial Park

Just across the Perimeter Highway that encircles the city, this place gets busy. The site of some of the earliest European settlements in the region, here campers can visit preserved pioneer homesteads and ride horses from the onsite stable. Despite its busyness, you can still get away from it all in Bird’s Hill—almost half of the park is set aside as backcountry, perfect for mountain biking or hiking, perhaps along the 7.2-kilometre Lakeview Trail.

Grand Beach Provincial Park

Manitoba’s most popular beach, this stretch of white sand was once serviced by its own rail line that brought sun-seekers out from the city. People still flock here for the dunes and the waves of Lake Winnipeg, as well as a number of birds, including bald eagles, pelicans, and the endangered piping plover. Swim, kite-surf, and build sandcastles, then explore beyond—the park includes more than 2,500 hectares of territory.

St. Malo Provincial Park

Set on a quiet reservoir that doesn’t allow motorboats, St. Malo is a peaceful place. Take your pick from two beaches, or do some picking—chokecherries, Saskatoon berries, and wild plums all grow naturally in the park. Then get out on the water in a canoe, kayak, or even a sailboard—the park has a designated launch area for the latter.

When to go

Although situated at a relatively southerly latitude (driving to the US border takes less than 90 minutes), Winnipeg’s landlocked position means it experiences all four seasons in full. Winters are famously cold, with the mercury dropping well below zero for extended periods of time, meaning you’ll have excellent snow for skiing and thick ice for skating. Summers are hot, and this is when the whole city comes outside, soaking up the sun in a series of events, from music festivals to ballet at Assiniboine Park.

Know before you go

  • From Winnipeg, you can drive anywhere in the country—the Trans-Canada Highway, which runs from Newfoundland to British Columbia, makes it way right through the city. 
  • The Winnipeg Walkway includes 14 downtown skyways and seven tunnels, meaning you won’t have to go outside to access restaurants and shops.
  • If coming in late spring or summer, bring a little bug spray (or a lot)—the mosquitos here are reputed to be the biggest in Canada. 
  • Downtown's Mountain Equipment Co-op has a vast array of camping gear at reasonable prices.
