Just across the Perimeter Highway that encircles the city, Bird’s Hill is a popular camping spot. The site of some of the earliest European settlements in the region, here campers can visit preserved pioneer homesteads and ride horses from the onsite stable. Almost half of the park is set aside as backcountry, perfect for mountain biking or hiking, perhaps along the 7.2-kilometre Lakeview Trail. You can also explore different options for camping near Winnipeg on Hipcamp.
