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!

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 (including pets!) getaway only 20 minutes north of Winnepeg, 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.
The campsite has firewood for campfires, a picnic table to enjoy your meals, and potable water 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.

Nice campground with a warm and clean washroom. Cindy is a great host, very welcoming and nice enough to offer firewoods. I camped next to the barn, where was near the highway, the noise could be loud when some trucks passed by. It’s a big place and suitable for group’s camping.

Camping with friends and pets!
Cindy's property is gorgeous and you can tell she's very proud of it. She gave us a tour of the land and told us tons of stories. The property had so many nice walking trails. The space she had set out for my friends and I to camp for the weekend was perfect. She also was great with introducing her larges dogs to my tiny (anxious) dogs so there were no issues. The indoor plumbing for the washrooms was such a nice surprise, and free range of the firewood was awesome. We had a lovely time and can't wait to book again!

This place was amazing! Cindy is lovely and considerate. She gave us a tour of the land, and was so generous! There is a lot of privacy, beautiful walks to be had, and art and gardens decorate the whole property. The facilities are clean and comfortable, and cheers to them becoming more accessible with a ramp in the near future. The dogs are so sweet, too! I wish we had time to stay longer. 12/10 stars, you can't go wrong here.

Lovely property, Cindy is super nice and very accommodating. We camped in the back of the property by the poplar trees - it was very nice! You do hear some traffic noise from the highway, but wasn't a big deal - especially overnight you don't hear much.
