Blacknot Farm

6 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.

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.

The best camping near Pinawa Dam Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on a journey through time at Pinawa Dam Provincial Park, where the echoes of a bygone era blend with the serenity of nature. Traverse the Old Pinawa Self-guiding Trail, marvel at the Dam Ruins Walk, and immerse yourself in the park's rich history as Manitoba's first hydro-electric generating station. While camping facilities are not mentioned, the park offers a wealth of activities for day-trippers and history enthusiasts alike.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Pinawa Dam Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when the trails are accessible and the park's full splendour can be appreciated. Winter brings a stark beauty, but be prepared for cold temperatures and limited access to some areas of the park.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have a map of the park and are familiar with the location of the Dam Ruins Walk and the Old Pinawa Self-guiding Trail.
  • Check the park's official website or contact the park office for the latest information on trail conditions and any closures.
  • Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for an outdoor adventure, as the terrain can be rugged and the weather unpredictable.
  • While exploring the park, keep an eye out for local wildlife and adhere to all safety guidelines provided.
  • Remember to carry out all trash, as the park operates on a 'leave no trace' principle to preserve its natural beauty.
