Fall Camping in Sask Parks

The fun doesn't stop at the end of summer in Saskatchewan Provincial Parks. As the weather begins to cool off and the leaves start to change colour, take time to see the province's landscape in a new way.

Why Camp in the Fall?

Fall camping offers a unique experience of comfortable days in the sun, cozy evenings around the campfire, and plenty of vibrant colours all around. With fewer visitors in October, it provides a quiet atmosphere that gives campers more options for where and when to camp.

Where To Go

Starting in October parks begin to limit amenities, so it's important to research which campgrounds are open and whether they still have water, power and toilets in use. Call the Park ahead of time for more details on available services and booking options.

More Accommodations

If you're looking for a more ways to stay while exploring Sask Parks, many of them offer diverse lodging options aside from camping. Hotels, cabins, and condos can be found throughout these parks for a hassle-free stay.

What to Bring

When packing for a fall camping trip, keep in mind the cooler weather of the season. As the sun sets earlier each night and the temperature continues to drop, bringing extra layers and waterproof gear is important to having a comfortable experience.

Aside from common camping gear, you should bring:

  • Base layers (i.e. fitted, long sleeve shirts)
  • Mid layers (i.e. bunny hugs and sweaters)
  • Insulating layers (i.e. a lightweight, puffy jacket)
  • Long pants
  • A toque
  • Gloves
  • Warm socks

You should also bring a sleeping bag and sleeping pad or air mattress rated for lower temperatures. A three-season tent will be good for the fall months, but make sure the tent fly is waterproof in case of rain.

TIP: With fall comes bear season, so be sure to bring bear spray and make lots of noise if you hit the trails.

With Saskatchewan’s short fall season, it’s important to make the most of it while it lasts. Catch the colours while you can, bask in the calmness that the season brings, and head out to your favourite provincial park to experience fall to its full potential.
