The best dog-friendly campgrounds near Selkirk, Manitoba

Set on a big bend of the Red River, this small town is defined by water, with the province’s two big lakes (Winnipeg and Manitoba) close by. Although famous for the massive catfish that anglers haul in from the banks of the river, there’s more to Selkirk than fish. Climb aboard 19th-century vessels and get hands-on lake life experience at the Marine Museum of Manitoba, or spend time strolling through Selkirk Park—from here in the heart of town, you can also launch a boat, canoe or kayak. Then head to shores beyond—Lake Winnipeg is just a few minutes out of town.

Great warm people. Property bit rough when you come in but hip camp field in the back was beautiful and separate from owners house. Lots if privacy. They came to check to see if we needed anything. They were wonderful. Bit loud with rosd noise at first but after 9pm quiet. One train came thru. But all in all lovely.

1 night at Dreamcatcher Tipi Adventures

This was by far the best camping/glamping experience we've ever had. Glen gave us such a warm welcome, even before we arrived at his property, greeting us at the entrance. He took the time to explain everything in detail and treated us to an off-road ride, showing us the stunning acres of his forested land. He also provided firewood and coffee in the morning—such a wonderful gesture. Glen is truly a wonderful host. The tipi was incredibly cozy, with all the bedding already set up for us, which made us feel right at home. We felt completely safe and at peace during our stay. One thing I’d recommend is bringing insect repellent, as there are quite a few bugs, but that’s to be expected in a nature setting. The best part is that you’ll have the entire place to yourself, which makes it feel even more special. The property has a full-sized BBQ, which was perfect for cooking, and Glen’s chicken farm added a nice touch—he kindly brought us fresh eggs for breakfast. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back with friends in the future!

Weekend Trip to Bonnetts Boreal Forrest

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful property and very private site in the forest. The open fields were amazing for a walk with our dog on the cut grass trails. The property is a quick ~ 30 minutes to Winnipeg. There is a railway line to the south which you can occasionally hear but didn’t bother us. The host was able to provide water from their well for our RV water tank on the way in. We will definitely return on our next trip in the area. Loved it!

Where to go

Grand Beach Provincial Park

Living up to its name, Grand Beach features white sands that curve in a big crescent for three kilometres and are backed by eight-metre sand dunes. Spot pelicans and even bald eagles swooping over the waves while you build a sandcastle, take a swim, or sunbathe.

Winnipeg Beach Provincial Park

You’ll probably drive, but trains once brought Winnipeggers from the heat of the city to this breezy beach destination. Take a walk down the boardwalk, play volleyball or tennis, and then hop in Lake Winnipeg, a favourite spot for windsurfers, boaters, and kayakers.

Bird’s Hill Provincial Park

Popular Bird’s Hill gets busy, welcoming some 1 million visitors every year (many from nearby Winnipeg). But there’s plenty of room to spread out, with the park rambling over 35 square kilometres, half of it in the backcountry. Ride a horse from the stables, take a walk through the aspen forest, enjoy a picnic, or come for a special event—polo tournaments and one of North America’s largest folk festivals are hosted here.

St. Ambroise Provincial Park

This is a favourite park for birdwatchers who come to its wetlands to spot migratory pelicans, warblers, and geese. In summer, it’s all about the beach, where families soak up the shallow, gentle waters on Lake Manitoba and wade out to sand bars.

When to go

If you’re looking to fish or partake in water activities, summer is the time to come. The water’s warm by July, and nice weather can stretch well into September (when the leaves fade from green to gold). This is also the busiest tourist season, a prime time for festivals and the free Waterfront Concert Series. Winters are definitely cold but a perfect time for those who love to ski, snowshoe, or ice-fish.

Know before you go

From here, you can wing your way to more remote parts of the province on a float plane—the Selkirk Water Aerodrome is just outside of town.

Set between Winnipeg and the province’s most popular beaches, Selkirk can see heavy traffic, especially on Fridays and Sundays in the summer months.
A number of local fishing outfitters take visitors out on the water—just keep in mind that you’ll likely need a license.
