Our time there was quiet and Cindy gave us a full measure of privacy. The only downside was the traffic noise from highway 8.

Had a great time, there were a ton of walking paths through the woods, it was well taken care of, and there were all kinds of extras like a scavenger hunt on the trails. We stayed at the RV site and spent out last night in the Blue Owl cabin, awesome little cabin, we'll definitely be back

Weekend Trip to Blacknot Farm
Camping in the Poplar trees was relaxing. It is fairly close to the hwy, but it was not too loud and we could hear the wind blowing through the trees not the vehicles on the hwy:) and the trees provided a nice wind block on a very windy weekend!

Cindy is an A+ host. Extremely responsive and very accommodating. The property is beautiful. I had a 30ft RV and had everything I needed (water, electricity and dump). Had a great one night stay and would gladly stay again. There are two dogs on the property and Cindy made the effort to introduce myself and family to the more “excited” dog so it could be aware of our presence. Otherwise we did not see the dog during our stay.

Weekend Trip to Blacknot Farm
There are a lot of space for summer/winter camping. During summer I bet it's especially lovely to be among the wood. Even during winter camping it's quite calm and peaceful.

Hip, hip, hooray! "Between the Flags Camp 'n Cabins" is now open to nice folks. Located a short 5 minute drive from the tourist town of Gimli, we've got 120 acres of forest. It's secluded and quite quiet with several kilometers of mowed, signed, and mapped trails, a pond with a floating dock and seating area, a common area with outdoor games, a fire pit, and a small stage for campers/renters to interact. There are 2 tiny houses available for rent: 1.) Micro Cabin in the Secluded Forest 2.) The Blue Owl Tiny House Experience. 3.) There are 3 non-serviced, clearly signed as RV#1, RV#2 and RV#3. These are back-in RV sites to accommodate travel trailers, fifth wheel campers, Class A, Class B, Class C RVs. All styles are welcome. 4.) Tent sites are available with parking for one vehicle. Both cabins, each RV and tent sites all have a picnic table and firepit. We have 4 traditional outhouses, a septic holding tank and a black-water tote for your convenience.

Printed checklists and pencils are in the book box located at the common games area near the stage. Berry picking Saskatoons, Cranberries, Chokecherries and Loganberries are abundant while in season. There are plenty of wildflowers and an opportunity to see wildlife in it's natural setting. There have been many deer sightings and on occasion coyotes and bears have been in the area as well.

We have been recycling this farm for years. It was owned previously by a couple who worked for a nursery and they planted many varieties of trees. Later it was part of a Manitoba pilot project for hi-bred poplar so there is a 14 acre poplar forest that was planted on a grid. It is a very unique place. We love it here and hope you do too! Learn more about this land: Enjoy over 40 beautiful acres within the heart of the prairies at Blacknot Farm! Perfect for pitching a tent or parking your RV, camper van, or trailer. A wonderful family-friendly getaway only 20 minutes north of Winnipeg, and 10 minutes from Selkirk, Manitoba. There is outdoor access to restrooms, water, and electricity on the property. With 5 sites to choose from, you can select a very quiet and peaceful spot in the trees or field or choose to be closer to the house and barn with wifi signal, running water and flush toilets. While you’re here, you can go on nature walks, raid the garden, play yard games, enjoy a bonfire, and explore the woods. If interested, ask for a tour of the 3 season party hayloft with antiques, vintage video games, an old pool table, and a zip line. We have stationary and portable fire pits for your campsite. We can help with some firewood for campfires, a picnic table to enjoy your meals, and potable water that is available through a tap (both hot and cold water). All sites can be accessed by a traditional car, no off-roading or 4-wheel drive vehicle is needed.  If you’re interested in exploring the area,  Selkirk, Manitoba has plenty of fishing and a marine museum.  We are also a short drive to Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site. Oak Hammock Marsh Wildlife Management Area is a 17-minute drive. One of North America’s birding hotspots and a great destination for people of all ages! This 36km2 Wildlife Management Area features a restored prairie marsh, aspen-oak bluff, waterfowl lure crops, artesian springs, some of Manitoba’s last remaining patches of tall-grass prairie and 30 kilometres of trails for you to explore. Gimli or New Iceland is about a 30-minute drive north and is a great summer or winter destination. Rich in history, art, culture and outdoor discovery it has many restaurants, lovely beaches and the New Iceland Heritage Museum. In the spirit of truth and reconciliation we acknowledge that Blacknot Farm is in the heart of Treaty One territory the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Cree, and Dakota peoples and the Homelands of the Metis Nation. We respect the treaties made on this land and acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and present. We stand committed to building positive relationships rooted in a spirit of genuine reconciliation as we move forward. I look forward to hosting you!

There is lots of fishing locations surrounding the campsite- 35 mins from Lake Manitoba 22 mins from lake Winnipeg 15 mins from Shoal Lake and Only 6 mins from Norris Lake. We have kept each site very private and once in your spot, you are out of site of other campers to immerse yourself in the beautiful surroundings of Oak, Alder and Pine trees. Each site comes with its own large firepit for cozy evening barbecues. If you are looking for larger group bookings. We offer "The Social." An area big enough for around 8 tents, smaller RVs, and trailers. All set round a large central firepit. There is some stunning crownland to the North of the campsite with ATV and walking trails to Norris Lake and the surrounding area. At present there is a portaloo on site and a gated entrance.
