Campgrounds and RV parks near Dundurn No. 314, SK

The Rural Municipality of Dundurn No. 314 sits on the Saskatchewan prairies about 30 to 40 minutes south of Saskatoon, giving RV travellers quick access to both provincial-park camping and full-service city campgrounds. The area is anchored by Blackstrap Provincial Park, roughly 8.5 kilometres east of the town of Dundurn and accessed via Highway 211, and by Pike Lake Provincial Park a short drive to the west. Mount Blackstrap is a man-made mountain built as a ski hill for the 1971 Canada Winter Games, and the surrounding park is a summer camping destination on Blackstrap Lake, a reservoir created for agricultural, industrial, and recreational uses. Pike Lake Provincial Park sits about 20 minutes south of Saskatoon and is loved for its lush lawns pleasantly shaded by aspen, ash and birch trees, on a channel of the South Saskatchewan River that widens into a lake-like body of water. Options in the area range from provincial-park sites at Blackstrap Provincial Park and Pike Lake Provincial Park to private grounds such as Travel-Inn Resort and Campground A and Campland RV Resort, plus the city-run Gordon Howe Campground in Saskatoon for travellers who want an urban base.
