Campgrounds and RV parks near Souris, MB

Souris is a small town in southwestern Manitoba at the junction of Plum Creek and the Souris River, about 30 minutes southwest of Brandon. It sits in a region of rolling prairie and river valley scenery and functions as a practical base for RV travellers touring the Westman area between Brandon and the Turtle Mountains. The town is best known for Canada's longest swinging pedestrian bridge and for Victoria Park in the town centre. Campground options within a reasonable drive are a mix of provincial and private operations. Rivers Provincial Park sits on Lake Wahtopanah roughly an hour north and is the closest Manitoba Parks reservable campground with serviced sites. Private and resort-style options in the area include Meadowlark Campground, Oak Island Resort Campground, Four Season's Island Resort Grocery and Creemee, and Aspen Grove Campground. Most sites in this region operate seasonally from spring through early fall. Serviced RV sites with electric and water are common at the private parks, while the provincial park offers a mix of electric and unserviced options.

Manitoba provincial park sites, including Rivers Provincial Park, are booked through the Manitoba Parks Reservation Service, online at manitobaparks.com or by phone at 1-888-482-2267. Reservations open in stages over roughly five days each spring, typically in mid-April, with cabins and yurts opening first, followed by campgrounds by region. Western Region parks, which include Rivers, open on their own scheduled day. Campers are strongly encouraged to reserve in advance rather than rely on walk-ups, especially for long weekends. Private campgrounds each set their own booking process. Meadowlark Campground, Oak Island Resort Campground, Four Season's Island Resort Grocery and Creemee, and Aspen Grove Campground take reservations directly through their own phone lines or websites. For July and August stays, booking several weeks out is recommended.
