Best time to visit Grasslands National Park
Late May through early September is the prime window, with long daylight hours, warm days, and full services at both campgrounds. July and August are peak months for wildlife viewing and interpretive programs, though afternoons can be hot and thunderstorms are common. Early June and September are strong shoulder-season choices for RVers, offering cooler temperatures, fewer bugs, and quieter campgrounds. Water is available mid May to September 30, so those camping in early May or October should bring all the water they will need.

Things to do at Grasslands National Park
- Ecotour Scenic Drive (West Block) EasyRV parking available
The Ecotour Scenic Drive is a self-guided loop through the West Block's Frenchman River Valley, accessible from Val Marie. Pullouts offer views of plains bison, prairie dog colonies, and badlands formations. The route is suitable for most motorhomes and trailers in dry weather.
- Badlands Parkway (East Block) EasyRV parking available
The Badlands Parkway is a ridge-top scenic drive in the East Block with sweeping overlooks of the Rock Creek badlands and Killdeer Valley. Multiple interpretive pullouts have room for larger rigs, and short walks lead to viewpoints. Gravel surface is stable in dry weather but slick when wet.
- 70 Mile Butte Hike ModerateRV parking available
70 Mile Butte is one of the highest points in the park and offers panoramic views over the West Block. The out-and-back trail is about 5 kilometres round trip over open prairie with no shade. A gravel trailhead parking area accommodates vehicles and small trailers.
- Prairie Dog Town Viewing EasyRV parking available
Grasslands protects Canada's only wild black-tailed prairie dog colonies, viewable from pullouts along the West Block Ecotour Road. Visitors can watch the colonies from the roadside and from short interpretive trails. Early morning and evening offer the best activity and lighting.
- Dark Sky Stargazing
Grasslands National Park is a designated Dark Sky Preserve with some of the darkest night skies in Canada. Experienced astronomers set up their telescopes, deliver an enchanting presentation, then walk visitors through an amazing night of viewing the vast heavens. Both campgrounds are excellent viewing sites directly from your RV site.
- Bison Viewing in the West Block EasyRV parking available
Plains bison roam freely across the West Block, often visible from the Ecotour Road and Broken Hills area. Visitors should stay at least 100 metres away and remain in or near their vehicle. Patience and a good pair of binoculars are recommended.
- Rock Creek Valley Hike ModerateRV parking available
Trails around Rock Creek Campground wander through rugged East Block badlands and along coulees carved by glacial meltwater. Routes range from short interpretive loops to longer backcountry traverses. The campground trailhead has space for tow vehicles once unhitched.
- Two Trees Trail EasyRV parking available
Two Trees is a short, accessible loop in the West Block that highlights native grasses, wildflowers, and prairie ecology. The trail is level and suitable for most visitors, with interpretive signage along the way. A small gravel parking area serves the trailhead.

How to get to Grasslands National Park
The West Block visitor centre is in Val Marie, about a 4 hour drive southwest of Regina and roughly 3.5 hours southeast of Swift Current via Highway 4. The East Block, near Wood Mountain, is reached via Highway 18 and gravel park roads, so drivers towing larger trailers should check conditions after rain as clay roads can become slick. There are no mountain passes or tunnels, but fuel stops are limited on the prairie, so RVers should top up in Swift Current, Assiniboia, or Shaunavon. Regina International Airport is the most practical fly-and-rent hub for reaching the park.
