Lloydminster camping guide
When to go
Hot in summer and brutally cold in winter, Lloydminster is actually a destination year-round—it just depends what you are into. Warm-weather campers can aim to travel between mid-May and September. Just pack extra-strength bug spray to deal with the prairie black flies and mosquitoes. Fall can be quite lovely and certainly less buggy than summer, but you may also want to plan a trip around the city's rodeo schedule (or avoid these busy dates).
Know before you go
- When travelling between Alberta and Saskatchewan, don’t take firewood with you, as there's an effort to slow the spread of disease and pests between provinces. It is actually illegal to bring firewood into many of Canada's national parks for this reason.
- You’ll need a vehicle to get to and around the parks and campsites near Lloydminster.
- No provincial sales tax applies in Alberta, while Saskatchewan charges a 6% provincial sales tax. If you need to buy equipment, supplies, or even gas, it’ll be cheaper on the Alberta side of this border city.
