Campgrounds near Torch River No. 488
Torch River No. 488 is a rural municipality in northeastern Saskatchewan that sits between the town of Nipawin and the boreal forest fringe. The area is a practical base for RV travellers heading to Tobin Lake, Narrow Hills Provincial Park, and the smaller regional lakes north of the Saskatchewan River. Roads through the region are a mix of paved provincial highways and well-maintained gravel, with Highway 106, the Hanson Lake Road, serving as the main route north.
Campground options range from full-service resort sites to basic lakeside pads inside the provincial park. Lower Fishing Lake Campground is Narrow Hills' most popular and best-equipped facility for RV camping, with over 80 improved campsites offering 30-amp electrical hookups. Electric campsites and two Camp-Easy yurt sites are available for booking at Lower Fishing Lake, and non-electric campsites can be reserved at Zeden Lake, Baldy Lake and Ispuchaw campgrounds. Tobin Lake Resort sits on the south shore of the reservoir created by the E.B. Campbell Dam, with cabins, a marina, and sites close to the walleye fishery the lake is known for.
For travellers wanting town services, Tisdale Riverside Golf Course has a compact RV area on the south side of the region with hookups and a dump station.
Things to do near Torch River No. 488
Fishing drives most trips to this part of Saskatchewan. Tobin Lake is widely known for its trophy walleye and pike fishery, and boat launches, marinas, and guide services cluster around the resort village on the south shore.
Inside Narrow Hills Provincial Park, the lakes hold native fish such as walleye, yellow perch, whitefish, and northern pike, along with stocked trout species including brown, brook, rainbow, and tiger. Hiking the hills above the Gem Lakes is the signature land activity, and the park's boreal forest landscape features narrow valleys, hills and kettle terrain shaped by the last glacial period, giving short trails a surprising amount of vertical relief.
Closer to Tisdale, the Riverside Golf Course puts a nine-hole layout beside the Doghide River, with the campground within walking distance of the clubhouse.

The main RV season in this area runs from the May long weekend through the end of September. Full services at Narrow Hills Provincial Park are typically available from the May long weekend to the end of September, and most private lakeside operators follow a similar window. Tisdale Riverside Golf Course typically operates from May through October.
Summer weekends fill quickly, especially at electric sites near Lower Fishing Lake and at full-service resort campgrounds on Tobin Lake. Shoulder seasons in mid-May and September are quieter, cooler, and better for anglers who want space on the water. Bugs peak in June and early July, so screened shelters and repellent are worth packing.
Wildfire recovery continues to affect the park: Gem Lakes campsites will remain closed for the 2026 season; however, all other campgrounds in Narrow Hills Provincial Park are now open. Winter camping is possible in the park for ice fishers and snowmobilers, but most amenities close after the September long weekend.
How to book a campsite
Saskatchewan provincial park sites, including the Narrow Hills campgrounds at Lower Fishing Lake, Zeden Lake, Baldy Lake, and Ispuchaw, are reserved through the Saskatchewan Provincial Parks online reservation system at parks.saskatchewan.ca. Reservations open in mid-April, with seasonal campsites launching first and nightly campsites (including Camp-Easy yurts, non-electric, electric, and full-service sites) following on a staggered schedule. Reservations open at 7:00 a.m. CST each day. Narrow Hills has traditionally been part of the second nightly wave, so watch the Sask Parks schedule for the current launch date.
Private operators handle their own bookings. Tobin Lake Resort and Tisdale Riverside Golf Course take reservations directly by phone or website, and seasonal sites at Tobin Lake tend to be spoken for well before summer.
For RV renters, confirm site length, hookup type, and pull-through availability before booking, as some park loops are back-in only.
What to expect
This is a working, rural corner of Saskatchewan, not a resort strip. Expect boreal forest, gravel access roads, and long distances between fuel stops once north of Nipawin. Narrow Hills Provincial Park has no cell service and no Wi-Fi, so download maps and reservations before leaving town.
The main routes through the park, including Highways 106, 120, 913, and 920, are a mix of paved and well-maintained gravel roads suitable for RVs, though speeds should be reduced on the gravel sections, and some secondary access roads to specific lakes may be narrower. Larger rigs are generally fine on the primary loops. Pets are welcome in Saskatchewan provincial parks on leash, and owners must clean up after them.
Bring bug protection, layered clothing for cool nights even in July, and a full water tank if heading into the more remote lake sites.
