Manitoba and Sasketchewan in Early August

x2 on Cypress Hills. Fort Walsh is neary by and the landscape is incredible. Lots of camping options. We will visit again when we next take a trip west.

cypress hills is nice. Didn't think they had hills in Sask but my visit proved otherwise. The winery nearby was also a fun side-trip

Yes, riding Mountain is great. If you can nail down dates it is wise to book on-line, we tried to get a site for July last year and after the first 5 minutes that the website opened for reservations all the sites in the town campground were booked.

We stay at travelers RV on the east side of Winnipeg, not a super great place but it's on the ring road and convenient to WPG and the Trans-Canada. Not a destination campground but a good short term stop. There is a water park next door.

Winnipeg is the car theft capital of Canada, be careful where you park!

These are the only two Canadian Provinces that we have not visited, so we are headed there this Summer. We have ordered the travel guides and are planning on visiting some friends that live in Winnipeg that we met while campground hosting in Georgia last year.

Just wanted to ask what are some of your favorite places to visit in these two provinces. We love history, short hikes, a little biking, and geocaching. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When in Saskatcewan, head up to Waskesiu which is in the provincial park outside of Prince Albert. It is really nice there, do a google search and the RV park is close to town within walking distance. Lots to see and do, around there.

It is a federal park not Provincial.Prince Albert National Park.

When in Winnipeg, take the tour of the Canadian Mint. If you rv, the best place to stay in Winnipeg (my opinion) is Arrowhead in Illes des chenes south of town. Prairie Oasis RV in Moose Jaw, SK. Suggestions of previous poster are good.

If you are in Saskatoon check out the Western Development Museum . The Gordon Howe Campground right in town is a very nice spot to stay, close to everything and nice and quiet.

When you get all the info. from both Provinces and start reading you will be amazed at the history and things to do.I will not even attempt to start a list for you.If you love fishing and lakes the area can't be beat .Sask. my home Province has over 10,000 lakes alone,plus a never ending prairie and is called the Big sky country.You will not meet better people in both Provinces and Manitoba skeeters are 737 size compared to Saskatchewan CF18's.But at that time of the year they aren't a problem.We welcome all our neighbors to the south,best friends we can have.

Go to the zoo in Winnipeg, the RCMP Barracks in Regina SK, the underground places in downtown Moosejaw SK, and the Peace Gardens on the MB/ND border. Both provinces have good parks. In downtown Winnipeg there is a great park featuring the rendevoux (sp?) location at the confluence of several rivers where the trappers and First Nations people traded back in the 1800's
