Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Buffalo Pound Provincial Park adventure.
Immerse yourself in the prairie’s beauty while enjoying this park’s awesome mix of activities.
First Nations peoples once corralled bison in this park, which is how it got its name and part of why Buffalo Pound maintains a captive herd today. Just 20 minutes from Moose Jaw with easy access to the city, Buffalo Pound offers great hiking, mountain biking, and fat-biking trails, a heated pool, beaches, and a boat launch with rentals, kayaking, and fishing. Birders love the boardwalks at the Nicolle Flats Interpretive Area and the range of wildlife viewed from the many trails. All listed campgrounds are really just loops of the same campground, which offers a full suite of services, including a store and laundry.
The park is open year-round, and if you’re into crisp cold winters with lots of snow (and all the activities that go with that) you may well want to consider a winter trip. If you’re a fair-weather camper, then plan to travel from mid-June through to October, bearing in mind that the park can get busy around major Canadian holidays (especially Canada Day on July 1, which can get rowdy with day-use visitors flocking to the beach).
