If you don’t get a reservation at your desired campground:

According to Manitoba Parks, campgrounds in Birds Hill, West Hawk and Falcon Lake in the Whiteshell, Winnipeg Beach, Kiche Manitou in Spruce Woods, Grand Beach Provincial Park, Gull Harbour in Hecla/Grindstone and St. Malo Provincial Park are the busiest.

Venture beyond the familiar confines of Manitoba’s popular campgrounds to discover the province’s hidden gems, which include over 50 different parks.

Manitoba Parks advises booking on weekdays or in shoulder seasons for better availability and not shying away from late bookings to take advantage of last-minute cancellations. Embracing flexibility, opting for non-electric sites or exploring less-known locations can dramatically ease the challenge of securing a spot, especially during peak seasons.
