Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Grasslands National Park adventure.
Camp on prairie plains where bison roam, dig for fossils, and enjoy rich culture.
Grasslands National Park showcases the diverse beauty of the Saskatchewan prairies while offering both easy frontcountry camping experiences perfect for families and remote backcountry camping. The park is one of the few spots in Canada where you can see plains bison roam, and there is an abundance of other wildlife (including the comical black-tailed prairie dog and burrowing owls). Kayak or canoe the Frenchman River, try equestrian camping, learn about First Nations history, or gaze at the night sky at this designated Dark Sky Preserve.
Grasslands National Park is stunning and open year-round, but comfort-wise, the best time to visit is in early summer or early fall, when it isn’t baking hot with little shade on the prairie. Early summer is when the prairies are in bloom, and fall hiking is especially pleasant.
