Saskatchewan Parks - Moose Mountain

Fresh air, blue skies and bacon crackling in the skillet as the morning sun drives the shadows out of Fish Creek Campground.  Wrap your hands around that warm cup of coffee, take a deep breath and savour the feeling of waking up to nature instead of work.

Moose Mountain Provincial Park has been a popular getaway for more than 70 years – it’s one of Saskatchewan’s original provincial parks.  Today’s visitors can enjoy a stay as rustic or refined as they wish.  Pitch a tent in a cozy nook, park the camper trailer in a lovely, level spot, slip that big RV unit into a fully-serviced site or rent a cabin or hotel room right inside the park.

Potable water, clean washrooms and a hot morning shower are always close at hand.  Firewood is, too.  Bask in that warm golden glow of the evening campfire and ponder the important things, like alternate ingredients for s’mores.

Moose Mountain, a refreshing experience, is an island of birch and ash nestled in the southeast corner of the province.  You may be surprised by just how well-treed the campground is.  Combine this with level sites, and easy access to service centres, firewood and more, and you may never want to go home.  In addition to being a great summer destination, Moose Mountain offers wonderful fall camping opportunities.  You’ll be swept away as the leaves change colours, and sun continues to shine bright.

There are two campgrounds with campsites:

  • Electric Sites:  210 (near a service centre)
  • Full Service Sites:  11
  • Non-electric Sites:  138 (near a service centre)
  • Group Sites:  3 (all non-electric)
  • Overflow Sites:  100

Group Camping

Group Camping Areas A & B:  These two group camping areas, adjacent to one another,are located near the Kenosee Lake Riding Academy on the shores of Little Kenosee Lake.  Book one, or both, of the camping areas for your school group, family reunion or next ‘get together’.  Campers must stop in at the Fishcreek Campground office and pick up a camping permit.  Group Area A features  6 sites, a picnic shelter and group campfire area. Group Area B features 8 sites and a picnic shelter.  These are all non-electric sites, with no power available.  Picnic tables, a wood pile, pit toilets and barbecue stands are on site.

In-Park Services

Moose Mountain offers most everything you need right in the park.  From a well stocked grocery store that also has great ice cream and supplies, to a full service hotel and conference centre, and two restaurants; you’ll never have to leave.  However, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, the nearby community of Carlyle is a 15-minute drive away.

Golf Kenosee:  Golf Kenosee offers you one of the most scenic golf courses in western Canada.  Golf Kenosee’s fairways are wonderfully sheltered by a healthy forest of poplar, ash, fir and white birch trees.  With mature trees guarding both sides of most fairways, a premium is placed on straight, accurate shots.  At Golf Kenosee the scenery and the wildlife are as much of an experience as the golf itself. A pro-shop is available for all your golfing needs.

The Kenosee Superslides:  On a hot day, the place to be is the Kenosee Superslides!  This privately-owned, waterslide park offers kiddie slides, tube rides, twisters, Kamikazi Bonzai skimmers or, if you’re brave enough, try the eight-storey free fall (takes 3 seconds to reach the bottom)!  If you’d like a slower pace, ride the 800’ lazy canal on an inner-tube or just sit back and enjoy the warmth of the 150-man hot tub. 

Pack a lunch or buy food on-site at Cruiser’s Family Restaurant or pick up that special souvenir at Reflections Boutique & Gift Shop.  Change rooms, showers, lockers and double tube rentals.  Unlimited free parking.  No alcohol or sunflower seeds please!
