Blacknot Farm

11 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Saint Andrews, MB
We have been recycling this farm for years. It was owned previously by a couple who worked for a nursery and they planted many varieties of trees. Later it was part of a Manitoba pilot project for hi-bred poplar so there is a 14 acre poplar forest that was planted on a grid. It is a very unique place. We love it here and hope you do too! Learn more about this land: Enjoy over 40 beautiful acres within the heart of the prairies at Blacknot Farm! Perfect for pitching a tent or parking your RV, camper van, or trailer. A wonderful family-friendly getaway only 20 minutes north of Winnipeg, and 10 minutes from Selkirk, Manitoba. There is outdoor access to restrooms, water, and electricity on the property. With 5 sites to choose from, you can select a very quiet and peaceful spot in the trees or field or choose to be closer to the house and barn with wifi signal, running water and flush toilets. While you’re here, you can go on nature walks, raid the garden, play yard games, enjoy a bonfire, and explore the woods. If interested, ask for a tour of the 3 season party hayloft with antiques, vintage video games, an old pool table, and a zip line. We have stationary and portable fire pits for your campsite. We can help with some firewood for campfires, a picnic table to enjoy your meals, and potable water that is available through a tap (both hot and cold water). All sites can be accessed by a traditional car, no off-roading or 4-wheel drive vehicle is needed.  If you’re interested in exploring the area,  Selkirk, Manitoba has plenty of fishing and a marine museum.  We are also a short drive to Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site. Oak Hammock Marsh Wildlife Management Area is a 17-minute drive. One of North America’s birding hotspots and a great destination for people of all ages! This 36km2 Wildlife Management Area features a restored prairie marsh, aspen-oak bluff, waterfowl lure crops, artesian springs, some of Manitoba’s last remaining patches of tall-grass prairie and 30 kilometres of trails for you to explore. Gimli or New Iceland is about a 30-minute drive north and is a great summer or winter destination. Rich in history, art, culture and outdoor discovery it has many restaurants, lovely beaches and the New Iceland Heritage Museum. In the spirit of truth and reconciliation we acknowledge that Blacknot Farm is in the heart of Treaty One territory the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Cree, and Dakota peoples and the Homelands of the Metis Nation. We respect the treaties made on this land and acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and present. We stand committed to building positive relationships rooted in a spirit of genuine reconciliation as we move forward. I look forward to hosting you!

Camping in Manitoba guide

Overview

Whether you’re seeking laid-back lake camping, off-grid backcountry mountain adventures, or an Arctic tundra trek in search of polar bears and beluga whales, Manitoba isn’t short of options. The capital city of Winnipeg is a home surrounded by campgrounds and RV parks set in the prairies. Farther north (way farther north) is Churchill, Manitoba’s claim to fame thanks to the polar bear watching that can be done here. Summers are hot enough for water sports and lake camping (just watch out for bugs), while fall is prime time for polar bear spotting. The province’s two national parks are on opposite ends, each providing a unique outdoor experience.

Winnipeg and Central Manitoba

To get outdoors close to Winnipeg, campers can pull up at Arrowhead RV Park, stop into Birds Hill Provincial Park, or visit the shores of Lake Manitoba, Lake Winnipeg, or Otter Falls. Thirty minutes from town by road, Portage la Prairie is a small farm town offering RV resort options, a golf course, and simple rural pleasures. Métis and francophone culture rule in Saint Malo, a small town just south of Winnipeg.

Eastern Manitoba

This part of Canada is lake country, prime for fishing, boating, and hiking. Manitobans love the provincial park campgrounds at Whiteshell Provincial Park, just a few hours east of Winnipeg by road and full of sandy beaches at Big Whiteshell Lake, Caddy Lake, Betula Lake, Opapiskaw Beach, and Falcon Beach. Nopiming and Atikaki provincial parks offer endless lakeside trails and backcountry lodges near the Ontario border.

Western Manitoba

The region’s Riding Mountain National Park provides opportunities to go hiking and boating, stay in a forest yurt, and take advantage of park RV hookups. The forested national park is surrounded by grasslands home to Manitoba provincial parks offering green spaces, including Asessippi and Duck Mountain.

Churchill and Northern Manitoba

Wapusk National Park is the place to see polar bears and beluga whales, but there’s no camping allowed here (due to polar bear danger) and the park is only accessible by air. For fewer logistical challenges, opt for a day-trip excursion out of Churchill into the wilds and you may still get a shot at seeing a polar bear. Churchill is also a great spot to pick up provisions and meet friendly locals who brave the winter cold in their hometown. Paint Lake Provincial Park is an option for those who want to venture into Manitoba by road from Winnipeg.
