Backcountry Camping
If you are planning a trip into the backcountry be sure to contact the park. Staff will be glad to supply detailed information about the area in which you'll be travelling. You should become familiar with safety and environmental protection measures and regulations in the park.
To prevent overuse of the trails and for your own safety, you are required to obtain a backcountry permit before any overnight backcountry travel. These are issued at the Park Information Centre for anywhere in the park or at the East Gate and South Gate for selected areas only.
Primitive campsites are located along most backcountry canoe and hiking routes and along the shorelines of Crean and Kingsmere lakes. Where facilities are provided a camping fee is applicable. Contact the park office at (306) 663-4522 for details.
School groups and non-profit educational organizations may reserve the Backcountry group campsites on Kingsmere Lake (Northend and Westwind) in advance. Contact the park at (306) 663-4522 for details.
