Do It Again Ranch Adventures

6 sites · RVs, Tents160 acres · Lloydminster, SK

Do It Again Ranch Adventures is a 160 acres property on the Canadian prairies. We are surrounded by grain farming activity, although this is significant cattle country also. Our property is divided roughly in thirds - 1/3 pasture for the livestock, 1/3 trees and bush, and 1/3 hayfield. There is a waterway that runs though our property creating many ponds or sloughs. None of these are big enough for canoeing but do attract wildlife and birds. We are offering sleigh and wagon rides on the farm land. We have horses, goats and a milk cow for livestock. We encourage people to interact with the livestock if they wish. The city of Lloydminster is only 12 minutes away. It has a population of 21, 000 with all the amenities and attractions of a small city. One of its distinctions is being a city that straddles both the Saskatchewan and Alberta provincial borders.

Overview

Straddling the Saskatchewan-Alberta border, Lloydminster has lots going on and a bit of a wild west feel to the place. Throughout the year, campers can find street festivals and rodeos, plus foodie events and cultural celebrations (such as the Onion Lake Powwow, Oktoberfest, and various agricultural expos). Lloydminster is a great stop before or after you set out adventuring in this part of Saskatchewan, which is filled with lakes, forests, and many places to immerse yourself in nature.

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.
