SEASONAL CAMPERS’ GUIDE

2 | SEASONAL CAMPERS’ GUIDE Revised January 2021

Welcome to Seasonal Camping in Manitoba If you have a desire to get outside more, you’re in the right province.

Many of us know Manitoba only as a Prairie province. While we certainly have vast expanses of prairies, people are sometimes amazed to learn that about 60 per cent of our province is boreal-forested Canadian Shield wilderness. Between prairie and boreal forest are regions of lush, green parkland. Our entire province is dotted with thousands of crystal clear lakes filled with freshwater fish and connected to streams and rivers that eventually find their way north across tundra landscapes to our ocean coast at Hudson Bay. Manitoba is a province of such diverse and incredible beauty that appreciating the landscapes and abundant wildlife resources really does mean experiencing them in person. Seasonal camping is a tremendous way to do that. It’s something every Manitoban should expe-rience at least once. Once you’ve experienced this life adventure, you may find yourself com-pelled to return again and again. You will know Manitoba as the outdoor paradise it really is. You will never forget that you live in a big, diverse and beautiful province where you are free to make your own adventures.

Come and camp with us.


Manitoba’s provincial parks offer you the en-joyment of outdoor living and opportunities to be close to nature. Our campgrounds are man-aged to ensure you have a pleasant stay.

Conservation Officers in our parks work to en-sure The Provincial Parks Act and regulations are observed by all park users, so everyone can en-joy a peaceful, safe camping experience.

Not observing laws or park rules and regulations could mean: • the cancellation of your camping permit without compensation • an eviction for up to 21 days • possible charges • a ban from provincial parks for up to one year • disqualification from the next seasonal campsite draw

Camping Season

Permit: Seasonal campsites are intended for use by the permit holder and immediate family (which is generally defined as parent(s) and their children under the age of 18 with the pos-sible addition of a grandparent or similar, imme-diate relative).

Seasonal camping permits grant the right to occupy a specified campsite for the period listed on the enclosed schedule of Seasonal Camping Dates and Prices.

Your seasonal camping fee covers the term of your seasonal camping permit including start and end dates referred to as units-on to units-off dates.

If your camping unit is on site without a valid permit before or after the term of your seasonal camping permit, you are subject to all of the following: • having your camping unit towed at your expense • being charged for occupying park land without a valid permit • paying nightly camping fees for each night the camping unit occupied the site

Transfers and refunds: Seasonal camping per-mits are neither transferable nor refundable.

Renting, subletting, sharing or switching campsites is not permitted and may result in the cancellation of your camping permit.

At the Beginning of the Season

Siting your camping unit: Camping units must be placed on site within 22 days of campground opening (see enclosed Seasonal Camping Dates and Prices).

If you are unable to site your camping unit by the specified date, you must inform the appro-priate district office (see enclosed Department Contact List). Failure to comply could result in cancellation of your camping permit.

Proof of insurance: All camping units (except tents) must be registered with Manitoba Public Insurance (or equivalent) and display a valid li-cence. Manitoba Conservation and Climate reserves the right to verify licence plate num-bers.


Your Campsite

To be considered occupied, a campsite must contain one of the following camping units: • tent • tent-trailer • camper-truck • camping trailer • fifth-wheel trailer • motor home

ONLY ONE CAMPING UNIT PER CAMPSITE IS PERMITTED.

Please refer to the Equipment and Structures section located at the back of this guide for further information on what is permitted on your campsite. This guide intends to minimize the impact on the environment while providing ample accommodation for your camping experience.

All allowable structures, equipment and a single motor vehicle must fit in the defined campsite. The maximum allowable footprint of all struc-tures on a campsite cannot exceed 460 sq. ft (42.74 square metres). Campsites must not be modified or enlarged in any way by encroaching on green space. Destroying or removing existing natural features or moving curbs, timbers or boulders placed for site definition is prohibited.

Site inspections conducted by regional enforcement staff in early June may identify issues pertaining to allowable structures, equip-ment or camping footprint. If a campsite is deemed non-compliant, the permit holder must resolve issues within two weeks of inspection to avoid risks including forfeiting the seasonal camping permit without compensation and disqualification from next season’s draw.

Temporary Removal of a Camping Unit: If you are temporarily removing your camping unit for a period of time (ex: for vacation) you must submit a Notification of Removal of Camping Unit from Seasonal Campground form (available at your local district office) to the Campground Office or the District Office.

If a request to temporarily remove your unit is not on file, the site may be deemed vacant, your permit cancelled and the site redistributed.

Campground Etiquette

Quiet time: Campground quiet time is between 11 p.m. and 9 a.m. Use of loud equipment such as chainsaws, radios, and generators during this time is prohibited.

Noise and Disturbances: Permit holders must ensure that they and others occupying the site do not interfere with quiet, peaceful use and enjoyment of provincial park lands by other campers. Excessive noise or disturbance, as determined by an officer, is not permitted at any time. This includes fighting, yelling, playing loud music, using insulting or obscene language, drunkenness and damaging property. Not complying with the rules may result in enforcement actions by Conservation Officers. You could be charged with creating a public disturbance under the Park Activities Regulation (set fine of $673.65). You could also be evicted from all provincial parks for a period of up to 21 days. More serious disturbances could mean being charged with breach of peace under the Criminal Code, being banned for a year from all provincial parks or both.

Generators: Except under the authority of an officer, generators may not be used during quiet time of 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. or if the site is unattended. Continuous or prolonged generator use during the day can disturb neighbours and is not allowed.

Alcohol consumption: Alcoholic beverages may only be consumed on a permitted campsite.


Cannabis and Provincial Parks: The smoking or vaping of medical and non-medical cannabis is prohibited at all government operated campsites, yurts and family vacation cabins. Other restrictions also apply. For more infor-mation on cannabis use in provincial parks, go to: www.gov.mb.ca/sd/pubs/parks-protected-spaces/cannabis_pp.pdf .

Pets: All pets must be kept leashed, tied up or caged, and under physical control at all times. Pet owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets.

Entering the campground after 11 p.m.: Only permit holders returning to their designated campsites are allowed into campgrounds after 11 p.m. Vehicles entering campgrounds after 11 p.m. may be restricted.

Guests: Guests are allowed after 11 p.m. on an occasional basis as long as the maximum number of adults, including the permit holder, does not exceed six. Everyone including guests must be accommodated within the allowable equipment and structures. The permit holder is responsible for the conduct of all people using the site, whether they have permit holder‘s permission to use the site or not. Visitors to campsites must leave their vehicles in the designated parking areas.

Only one vehicle is permitted on each campsite unless approved by an officer.

Campground Safety

Children at play: Please use caution when driving your vehicle or moving your camping unit.

Maximum speed of 20 kilometres per hour (km/h): The speed limit in campgrounds is 20 km/h. All motor vehicles operated in campgrounds must meet the requirements of The Highway Traffic Act (except for specialized park maintenance vehicles). Motor vehicles not defined by the act (such as trail bikes and all-terrain vehicles) are prohibited or are restricted to designated areas or trails.

Do not feed wildlife: Feeding wildlife is not allowed because it can be harmful to both the animals and people who come into contact with them.

Bears can cause serious injury and property damage. No matter how tame they appear, they are wild animals. Do not harass them or leave food or garbage out. Report a nuisance bear to an officer or the campground office. Please clean all cooking surfaces (barbeques, stoves, picnic tables, etc.) regularly. Leftover food will also attract wildlife. Bird feeders are not per-mitted in seasonal campgrounds because they encourage visits by bears and other problem wildlife.

Emergency removal of equipment: All structures and equipment must be main-tained in a moveable state in case an evacuation is necessary. Manitoba Conservation and Cli-mate reserves the right to evacuate all campers in an emergency.

Campfires: Campfires are only permitted in designated fire pits and must be extinguished when the site is unoccupied. Burning elm or ash, plastics, metal, glass and leftover food that includes bones is not permitted.

Firearms: Discharging a firearm or possession of a loaded firearm within 300 metres of any developed area, including campgrounds is pro-hibited at all times. Please contact your local district office for any park-specific restrictions.

Fireworks: The use of fireworks and sky lanterns are prohibited in Manitoba’s provincial parks.

Campground Environment

All seasonal campers share responsibility to protect nature in our provincial park camp-grounds. The permit holder is responsible for the following:

Campsite maintenance: The site must be maintained by the permit holder and kept in a clean and sanitary condition at all times, including the cutting of grass with your own equipment.

Wastewater disposal: Dispose of wastewater only in dump stations or sewer drains provided. Wastewater disposal on the campsite or surrounding areas is not permitted.

Help make our Campgrounds Power Wise: Un-plug patio lanterns when you retire for the night and when you’re gone; or use solar lighting.

Garbage disposal: Place garbage in park provided refuse containers on a daily basis and keep your site free of litter at all times to avoid problem wildlife. Garbage must not be stored on site.

Recycle: Help reduce waste by recycling glass, paper and plastic products. Recycling items should be disposed of daily and must not be stored on site.

Glass containers: Limit use of glass containers. Broken glass can be dangerous to visitors, staff, pets and wildlife.

Take care of the trees: Damaged trees are more likely to be destroyed by fungus or disease. Please do not strip bark, use nails or attach wire on trees or shrubs. Ropes around trees are permitted, but must be removed at end of season.

Safe campfires: Ensure campfires are extinguished before you retire for the night or leave the site. Dispose of matches and cigarettes in the fire pit.

Firewood: Firewood, where provided, is for campsite permit holder use only. Stockpiling provided wood on the campsite is not allowed.

Removal of wood from a provincial park and unauthorized collection of any living or dead vegetation is prohibited in Manitoba provincial parks.

Do not transport firewood. Firewood brought in from another area may harbour harmful pests and carry diseases that will destroy forests. Buy firewood locally and burn it locally.

End of Camping Season

At season end, the permit holder is responsible for removing all personal property and restoring the campsite to the condition it was in at the start of the season.

If permanently removing your camping unit prior to the end of the season, you must submit a Notification of Removal of Camping Unit from Seasonal Campground form (available at your local district office) to the Campground Office or District Office. If notification of early departure is not on file, the site may be deemed vacant, your permit cancelled and the site redistributed.

Some campgrounds offer winter storage for camping units. Check with the campground’s district office for storage availability. Winter storage permits are offered starting in early June until the campground’s units-off date.

Storage is for camping units and associated items that were present on the seasonal site during the current year only.

a) When called to select a site, please have

your record ID number provided to you in your site selection invitation letter.

b) (i) Applicants for locations that are not as-signed a specific date for the site selection, will be contacted by district office staff dur-ing regular office hours (see Site Selection Dates and Times). Applicants who are not available when called, will have up to the end of the next business day to return the call and make their selection, or risk losing their place in draw order. They must then select a site once all other site selections for that campground have taken place.

(ii) Applicants for locations that have an as-signed site selection date, must make them-selves available that evening (see Site Selec-tion Dates and Times). If they cannot be reached at the telephone number(s) provid-ed, they will lose their place in draw order and must select a site after all other site se-lections for that campground have taken place.

c) Applicants who cannot be contacted in a timely manner will be considered absent from the site selection and will lose their place in the draw order and may risk forfei-ture of fees paid. Absent applicants may not withdraw without loss of fees except if re-maining site sizes will not accommodate the camping unit or withdrawal is approved for compassionate reasons. Unallocated sites as the result of absent applicants will not be offered to standby list applicants unless a withdrawal is approved.

d) Once all higher service level sites have been allocated, any remaining applicants for higher level service sites may select a lower level service site where available, withdraw or be added to the standby list. Selection of a higher level of service than applied for is not allowed. Only standby list applicants will be permitted to select a higher level of ser-vice than originally applied for.

e) Applicants with disabilities, who have de-clared a requirement for an accessible site, may select any available seasonal site. If such an applicant selects a site not designat-ed as accessible, no further site accommo-dation will be made.

f) Once an applicant selects a site, that selec-tion is final. No transfers are permitted.

If the applicant is successful in the computerized draw, but unsuccessful at site selection, one of two options is available:

1) STANDBY LIST (for sites vacated throughout the season) If an applicant is unsuccessful at the site selec-tion, they may opt to be added to the standby list for that campground in draw order. A full refund will be issued to those placed on the standby list and should a site become available it will be offered to standby list applicants in the original draw order. There is no obligation to accept sites that may become available.

NOTE: Once an applicant has selected a site, they are not eligible to be placed on a standby list.

7 | 2021 Accessible Seasonal Camping Information

Manitoba’s provincial parks offer accessible campsites for persons with physical disabilities in our seasonal campgrounds on a regional basis in order to encourage camping for persons who face barriers that prevent their participation in camping activities that others take for granted. Previously, accessible campsites have only been offered in the nightly camping programs.

Please note that the Seasonal Camping Package is available in larger print upon request.

What is an accessible campsite in a seasonal campground?

An accessible seasonal campsite is one that has been selected to accommodate persons with physical disabilities. It offers a level, basic or electrically-serviced campsite that is within 100 metres of accessible washroom facilities (modern or non-modern), potable water, and garbage disposal. Driveways will have a hard packed granular surface and trails leading to washroom facilities will be barrier-free and level. Picnic tables have an extended table top for improved access.

Where will these sites be offered in 2021?

Seasonal accessible campsites will be offered in Asessippi (2), Big Whiteshell (South Shore) (2), Black Lake (1), Campers Cove (2), Falcon Lakeshore (6), Hecla/Grindstone (2), Moose Lake (1), Paint Lake (5), Rainbow Beach (2) and Stephenfield (3) in 2021. Expansion to other locations will be considered in future years.

Application Process

Any person with a long-term disability, who requires an accessible seasonal campsite, must make declaration on the application, and return the Physician Certificate with their application.

Draw Process

Draws will maintain the integrity of the draw order process. If a campground offers 100 sites, 100 applicants will be called in draw order, and may include applicants for accessible sites.

Applicants, who have declared the requirement for an accessible site, may select from the designated accessible sites or from any available basic or electrical service site. When an applicant opts to select a site that is not a designated accessible site, no further site accommodation will be made. If an applicant is unsuccessful in obtaining a designated accessible site, they may withdraw, accept a non-accessible site if available, with no further site modification, or opt for the standby list for the next available site, with no further site accommodation.

Once all eligible applicants for accessible sites make a site selection have been processed in the draw, or when accessible sites are the very last to be allocated, unallocated accessible sites may then be selected by any remaining applicant
