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.

2 nights at Glamping With The Stars
This is one of the most memorable camping experiences you could ever have just 1 hour drive from Winnipeg.
Highly recommend for somone looking for quiet, private, safe and comfortable camping!!!
The unique design of the dome will give you the feeling of sleeping under the stars with its transparent ceiling!!
Canoeing in Whiteshell river is a bonus. You will see turtles, eagles, many different varieties of fish and if you are lucky enough even a bear!
Above all you will meet the most friendliest and most accommodating hosts, Amber and Johnny.
We rate this 10 out of 10 for; comfort, cleanliness, price, amenities, location, gueat services and accuracy of information.
We will come again and again!!!

We loved this lovely setting, by far our favorite camp site! Easy to find, great set -up with a fire pit loaded ready to go! The ability to camp in such a natural setting was certainly what we love. Hosts were very helpful and friendly. #1 by far.

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.
