Camping near Bloodvein 12, Manitoba
Bloodvein 12 sits on the east shore of Lake Winnipeg at the mouth of the Bloodvein River, in the Treaty 5 area of Manitoba. The community is accessible primarily by air and by a winter road, and it lies within the boreal shield of the Pimachiowin Aki region. Most RV travellers base themselves across Lake Winnipeg on the west shore, where the provincial park system runs the closest developed campgrounds.
The practical hub for RV camping in this part of Manitoba is Hecla Grindstone PP - Gull Harbour Campground, reached via PTH 8 north from Winnipeg along the west shore of Lake Winnipeg, crossing a causeway onto Hecla Island. Lake St George Provincial Park sits inland on the Interlake, reached via Hwy 7 to Teulon and PTH 17 north to Hodgson. Hnausa Provincial Park lies further south on the lakeshore north of Gimli.
All three campgrounds are operated by Manitoba Parks and require a park vehicle permit displayed on the dash while camping. Bloodvein itself is a fly-in and winter-road community, not a road-accessible RV destination, so trip planning centres on the west-shore parks.
Things to do around Bloodvein 12
The Bloodvein River is a Canadian Heritage River and a classic paddling route through the boreal shield, with rock paintings on some shoreline cliffs. For most RV travellers, activity centres on Lake Winnipeg: swimming and sandy beaches, boating out of Gull Harbour marina, and shore fishing for walleye, northern pike, and perch.
Hecla Grindstone PP - Gull Harbour Campground gives access to hiking trails, a wildlife viewing tower equipped with spotting scopes and viewing blinds where visitors watch for bald eagles, pelicans, and shorebirds, the historic Hecla Village, and a nearby golf course. Lake St George Provincial Park is oriented toward anglers with abundant walleye, northern pike, and perch, and offers a boat launch and dock. Hnausa Provincial Park fronts a sand beach and suits families looking for calm swimming and easy day-use.

The camping season in this part of Manitoba is short. Gull Harbour is open from mid-May through mid-September, and Lake St George runs on a similar mid-May to September window, with Hnausa Beach following the same pattern. Trips outside that window are not workable in a rented RV. June through August is the busiest period, when all park amenities are open and weekend sites at Gull Harbour tend to fill early.
June and early July bring the heaviest mosquito pressure along Lake Winnipeg. Small stores at Gull Harbour marina and Hecla Village stock mosquito coils, repellent, fishing bait and tackle, limited supplies, and fuel. July and August deliver the warmest lake temperatures and the most reliable beach weather. September cools quickly, with fewer bugs, thinning crowds, and a real chance of frost overnight.
Wildfire smoke from the boreal forest is a recurring summer variable in this region. Fire bans can restrict campfires on short notice, and travellers should check Manitoba Parks advisories before departure.
How to book a campsite
Reservations for all three provincial campgrounds are handled through the Manitoba Parks reservation service, online or by phone at 1-888-482-2267 (204-948-3333 in Winnipeg), with bookings opening daily at 7 a.m. The annual rollout takes place over five days, giving visitors a structured window to book cabins, yurts, group sites, and individual campgrounds across the province. Hecla-Gull Harbour, Hnausa Beach, and Lake St George are grouped with the remaining campground locations released on the final day of the launch.
A ten-dollar reservation cancellation fee applies to bookings cancelled four or more days prior to arrival, while reservations cancelled within three days of arrival are charged one night of camping fees. A park vehicle permit is required in addition to the site fee and must be displayed while camping.
What to expect on the ground
Roads in this area are flat, paved provincial highways suitable for large rigs. PTH 8 is a flat, paved provincial highway that should pose no driving challenge even to those travelling with very large rigs, though tightly packed sites can make maneuvering harder for the biggest trailers. Gull Harbour offers electric hookups at about 90 sites, a handful of sites with both electric and water, several primitive and modern restrooms, three playgrounds, potable water spigots, two shower areas, and a sanitary dump station.
Hnausa Beach has a mix of basic and electric sites on a shoreline campground. Lake St George offers 28 basic campsites with picnic tables, firepits, firewood, and non-modern washrooms, with no hookups. Cell coverage is patchy once north of Gimli, so downloading maps in advance is sensible.
