A great campground. I would have gotten a 9 if it had been in a nicer area of town. It really is an amazing oasis right in the city. It was well run, the store is well stocked and it is fairly quiet. A concert festival was going on across the river and we could hear that during our stay, but overall it was the nicest city park we have stayed in to date. Oh: the free Wi-Fi is smoking fast! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is one of the most pleasant places we’ve stayed to date. The playground had the most important feature that a playground can have: lots of other kids. The gravel-paved slots were roomy and very private with tall shrubbery between. The shrubbery, in fact, was so lush that we brushed it on all sides backing in. They only have back-in slots, but ours was on a corner, so it was easy to swing around and back in. Each slot had a grill and picnic table, and it was nice to sit out during the day. The bathhouses were clean and roomy, if somewhat industrial. The water tasted very good. This park is a hidden gem in the southwest corner of Saskatoon and convenient for shopping. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The owners went out of their way to accommodate us when we arrived without a reservation. There are large sites, treed and lots of privacy. Only disadvantages: we had to use 15 amp (at least we had a site, and they said they would be upgrading next year to some 50 amp sites.) And, there were workmen living in the campground, so lots of diesels going to work in early AM. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful place, have camped here 5 or 6 times and have always been treated well. Never have charged me to dump my tanks but they do charge if they come to your campsite and pump you. Quiet, no bugs, and very well managed. You would never know your in the middle of a city and it's also next door to a very nice 18 hole golf course. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Hi all: this is my second visit to this facility. It features back in sites with hedges between each offering wonderful privacy. Quiet time is enforced. The only negative is the $6.00 charge for sewer dump. However there are three free dump sites in the city. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The GPS location is 52.10713 -106.69293. Water pressure is 100 psi, so be sure to use a reducer! There is a small store in the office and they do stock pressure reducers. The sites are paved, large and fairly level. There are hedges between sites with excellent privacy, a picnic table and fire grill included in the grassy enclosure. The Wifi is free and works well. No visitors are allowed after 11 p.m. The dump station charge is $6.00. There are free dump sites at both the Flying J and the Husky gas stations at the north end of the city. There is another free dump site at an Esso Station on the west end of the city. I was quite amazed that so many folks were already out in their RV's. The camp does have an overflow area. Some of the overflow sites allow generator use but some do not. It is owned and operated by the City of Saskatoon. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The worst park I have ever stayed in. Owners were very rude and have no people skills. Lots of highway noise, the washrooms were clean but basic and not very private. I saw the owner talking to one camper and I couldn't believe how he was treating him. Everytime someone next to me plugged in their power or unplugged it I lost my power. After the way I saw the owner talk to the other camper I figured it wasn't worth the grief to mention it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground was a disappointment based on reviews I had read and word of mouth reports. Yes the bathrooms were clean. That is about all I can think of that was good about the place. The staff/owners treated us like unwelcome guests that had dropped in unannounced. We had a reservation but they took their sweet time looking for it. I should have written my name down for them in big block letters as it seems English was not a strength for them. The child (or grandchild) of the owner told our kids that the playground belonged to them and that they couldn't play on it. So we spent time at the trout pond and the owner behaved like we were stealing his fish. Highway noise was too much and my wife didn't sleep at all. Very little room between the sites. I was glad to leave. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Very nice park, clean facilities and spacious spots. Outside of town with trees and grass between sites. Showers and restrooms were very clean and free. We only stayed one night but would definitely stay again. Wi-Fi worked great. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
What a pleasant surprise to find such a nice RV park! It is extremely well maintained and the bathroom facilities were spotless. They are cleaned daily from 10:30 to 12:30. Sites are wide and well groomed gravel. Very close to town. I would definitely stay in this park again and wished that I stayed there longer than we did. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very well laid out and maintained park. Large wide pull throughs. Three wifi transmitters for this small park give excellent coverage. Traffic noise is an issue. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Signage to campground good but service road needed maintenance. Entrance wide and sufficient area to park and register. Office staff very friendly, informative and efficient. Gravel access roads to sites wide but could have done with a bit more maintenance. Good large and flat pull-thru sites with full hook-ups located in right position. Electricity solid and water pressure good. Some road noise so ask for site near back of campground. Good ambiance to campground which made it a good place to stay for a few days. Convenient to Saskatoon and local attractions. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very attractive park with large sites. Mostly full-hookup pull-throughs. We had a pull-through that was far larger than we needed for a 40' MH and toad. The store stocked everything including freshly made cabbage rolls, perogies, borscht, pies, etc. Free coffee all day. Free, fast WiFi that worked even at the farthest point in the park. Plenty of manicured lawn between sites and in the park open areas. It is adjacent to Highway 16, so sites near the highway probably get significant road noise. We were at the back of the park, and it was barely noticeable, depending on which way the wind was blowing. The park filled up both nights we were there. They give a 15% discount to Escapees. Flying J, Costco, Safeway, and other stores are nearby. We camped here in a Motorhome.
