Campgrounds and RV parks near Harrison Park, MB

Harrison Park is a rural municipality in southwestern Manitoba that wraps around the west and south sides of Riding Mountain National Park, including the communities of Sandy Lake and Onanole. The area sits atop the Manitoba Escarpment, where prairie farmland gives way to boreal forest, aspen parkland, and lake country. For RV renters, it functions as a base camp for one of the most biologically diverse protected areas in the prairies. Riding Mountain National Park protects a mix of grasslands, boreal forest, wetlands, and clear lakes, and is designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Wasagaming, the main townsite, sits at the south gate of the park along Highway 10, roughly 99 kilometres north of Brandon, on the south shore of Clear Lake, the largest lake in the park. The townsite holds the region's largest campground along with restaurants, a grocery store, fuel, and a visitor centre. RV options in Harrison Park itself skew toward serviced private parks near the highway corridor, with Parks Canada campgrounds inside the park boundary. Highway 10 is the main access route, running north from Brandon and south from Dauphin.

Sites inside Riding Mountain National Park are reserved through the Parks Canada Reservation Service, online or by phone at 1-877-RESERVE (1-877-737-3783). The reservation launch for the 2026 season is Friday, January 30 at 8 a.m. CT, and popular Wasagaming sites for July and August often go within the first days. All front-country reservations are site-specific, so campers pick the exact site at booking. Wasagaming Campground offers over 400 reservable campsites and a wide range of camping experiences including fully serviced sites. If Wasagaming shows full, the park's outlying campgrounds, including Whirlpool Lake Campground - Riding Mountain National Park, operate with more basic services. Private options in Harrison Park, such as Sandy Lake Motel and Campground, Sporty's RV Park and Restaurant/Pizzeria, and Onanole RV Park and Campground, book directly with the operator and are useful backups when park sites are gone.
