THE CAMPER...
To learn more about the Winnebago camper, see the site listing (this is the property listing).
WHERE WE ARE...
• 15 min south of Gull Lake
• 15 min southeast of the Brokenhead Wetland Interpretive Trail
• 20 min southeast of Patricia Beach
• 25 min south of Grand Beach, which features sands ranked in the top 10 worldwide
• 45 min north of Winnipeg
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.

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.

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!

Overview
About
Nestled on the shores of Lac du Bonnet, Poplar Bay Provincial Park is a haven for adventurers and nature lovers alike. Here, you can immerse yourself in the great outdoors, with a full-service seasonal campground offering a store, playgrounds, a beach, and a boat launch. Anglers rejoice at the chance to catch walleye and northern pike, while the park's history whispers tales of meteoric origins.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Book early to secure your spot during peak season, as the park's limited number of nightly campsites fill up quickly.
- Consider visiting during the weekdays for better availability and a quieter experience.
- Keep an eye on the park's reservation system for cancellations to snag a last-minute campsite.
- Explore nearby camping options if Poplar Bay is fully booked, ensuring you don't miss out on the area's natural beauty.
When to go
The best time to visit Poplar Bay Provincial Park is during the summer months when the weather is warm and the park's full range of services is available. Winter offers a serene, frosty landscape, but services are limited. Avoid spring's unpredictable weather, which can lead to closures.
Know before you go
- Check the park's management plan for updates on safety measures and any potential closures before your visit.
- Accessibility varies across the park, so inquire ahead if you require specific accommodations.
- Facilities include a seasonal campground with essential services, a playground, and a boat launch.
- Remember to pack all necessary supplies, as the nearest town is 30 kilometres away.
- For a successful fishing trip, ensure you're aware of the local regulations and have the appropriate licences.
