RV camping near Poorman 88, Saskatchewan
Poorman 88 is an Indian reserve of the Kawacatoose First Nation in south-central Saskatchewan, sitting on the prairie roughly 87 kilometres northwest of Fort Qu'Appelle and within reach of Regina. The reserve itself is a residential community, so RV travellers base themselves at nearby regional parks, provincial parks, and private campgrounds along Last Mountain Lake and the Qu'Appelle Valley.
Last Mountain Regional Park sits on the north end of Last Mountain Lake and offers the closest lakeside camping. Farther south along the same lake, Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park is a Sask Parks site with a long sandy beach and two campground loops. The Qu'Appelle Valley to the south holds Echo Valley Provincial Park near Fort Qu'Appelle and Lumsden Riverpark Campground on the Qu'Appelle River.
For RVers who prefer a smaller private operation, The Happy Camper Campground RV rounds out the local options. Together these sites give access to prairie lakes, sand beaches, valley trails, and the small service towns of Raymore, Punnichy, Lumsden, and Fort Qu'Appelle.
Things to do near Poorman 88
Last Mountain Lake is the main draw. It stretches south from Last Mountain Regional Park through Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park and supports swimming, boating, and walleye, pike, and perch fishing. The southern end of the lake feeds into the Qu'Appelle chain, where Echo Valley Provincial Park offers beach swimming and short valley hikes between Echo and Pasqua lakes.
Kids do well at any of the beach parks; Rowan's Ravine has an especially long sandy beach along with mini-golf, playgrounds, and a marina. Lumsden Riverpark Campground puts paddlers directly on the Qu'Appelle River and is a short drive from Regina for a supply or day-trip run.
Birders should note the Last Mountain Lake National Wildlife Area at the north end of the lake, established in 1887 as the oldest bird sanctuary in North America and a major stopover for sandhill cranes, snow geese, and shorebirds during migration.

The Saskatchewan camping season is short and clearly defined. Most provincial and regional campgrounds open in mid-May around the Victoria Day long weekend and close after Thanksgiving in early October. July and August are peak season, with warm days, warm lake temperatures, and the highest occupancy at Echo Valley and Rowan's Ravine.
June brings green grass, wildflowers, and the strongest mosquito activity around Last Mountain Lake and the Qu'Appelle marshes. Late August into September is often the sweet spot for RV travellers: warm afternoons, cool nights, thinner crowds, and excellent fall birding as migration ramps up at the Last Mountain Lake National Wildlife Area.
Winter camping is not a factor here. Roads through the reserve and to lake parks remain open, but campgrounds close, water systems shut off, and prairie wind chills routinely push conditions well below freezing from November through March. Plan any RV trip between mid-May and early October.
How to book campgrounds in the area
Saskatchewan provincial parks, including Echo Valley and Rowan's Ravine, are reserved through the Sask Parks online system at parks.saskatchewan.ca. Seasonal campsites open first in mid-April, followed by staggered launches for nightly, Camp-Easy yurt, and group campsites over the next several days. Reservations open at 7 a.m. CST on each launch day, with Rowan's Ravine and Echo Valley on separate dates in the rollout. A queue system handles the launch-day rush, so create an account and shortlist sites in advance.
Regional parks such as Last Mountain Regional Park run their own booking systems, usually through the park office by phone or a separate online portal. The Happy Camper Campground RV and Lumsden Riverpark Campground are private and book directly with the operator. For peak July and August weekends, reserve as soon as launch day opens; shoulder-season midweek stays are usually available closer to the trip.
What to expect on arrival
Roads into Poorman 88 and the surrounding parks are paved provincial highways with short gravel access roads at the campgrounds. There are no big-box services on the reserve itself, so stock groceries and propane in Raymore, Fort Qu'Appelle, Lumsden, or Regina before turning off toward the lake.
Campsite mix varies. Rowan's Ravine offers electric and non-electric sites across the Underwood and Elmwood loops, with a dump station, showers, and laundry. Echo Valley has a similar range suitable for larger rigs. Last Mountain Regional Park and Lumsden Riverpark Campground lean toward electric and basic sites; The Happy Camper Campground RV caters specifically to RV travellers.
Expect open prairie wind, strong sun, and limited natural shade at lakeside loops. Bring levelling blocks, awning tie-downs, and insect repellent. Cell coverage is generally reliable along main highways and at the larger parks but can drop in valley bottoms and back loops.
