Saskatchewan’s Provincial Parks offer many opportunities for backcountry and wilderness camping. Whether you’re hiking, canoeing or driving to an out-of-the-way campsite, these areas are meant for the campers who enjoy a more rugged camping experience with limited or no services. Campers using backcountry or wilderness sites are expected to minimize their impact on the natural landscape by practicing a ‘Pack-it-in, Pack-it-out’ philosophy. Saskatchewan wild spaces offers some of the most breathtaking and challenging camping experiences Saskatchewan has to offer!
