SEASONAL CAMPERS ’ GUIDE

RULES AND REGULATIONS

Revised January 2021

Welcome to Seasonal Camping in

If you have a desire to get outside more, you’re in the right province.

Many of us know Manitoba only as a Prairie province. While we certainly have vast expanses of prairies, people are sometimes amazed to learn that about 60 per cent of our province is boreal- forested wilderness. Between prairie and boreal forest are regions of lush, green parkland. Our entire province is dotted with thousands of crystal clear lakes filled with freshwater fish and connected to streams and rivers that eventually find their way north across tundra landscapes to our ocean coast at Hudson Bay.

Manitoba is a province of such diverse and incredible beauty that appreciating the landscapes and abundant wildlife resources really does mean experiencing them in person.

Seasonal camping is a tremendous way to do that. It’s something every Manitoban should expe- rience at least once. Once you’ve experienced this life adventure, you may find yourself com- pelled to return again and again. You will know Manitoba as the outdoor paradise it really is. You will never forget that you live in a big, diverse and beautiful province where you are free to make your own adventures.

Come and camp with us.

6 | 2021 Department Contact List 2021 ACCESSIBLE SEASONAL CAMPSITES IN MANITOBA’S PROVINCIAL PARKS

Manitoba’s provincial parks offer accessible campsites for persons with physical disabilities in our seasonal campgrounds on a regional basis in order to encourage camping for persons who face barriers that prevent their participation in camping activities that others take for granted. Previously, accessible campsites have only been offered in the nightly camping programs.

Please note that the Seasonal Camping Package is available in larger print upon request.

What is an accessible campsite in a seasonal campground?

An accessible seasonal campsite is one that has been selected to accommodate persons with physical disabilities. It offers a level, basic or electrically-serviced campsite that is within 100 metres of accessible washroom facilities (modern or non-modern), potable water, and garbage disposal. Driveways will have a hard packed granular surface and trails leading to washroom facilities will be barrier-free and level. Picnic tables have an extended table top for improved access.

Where will these sites be offered in 2021?

Seasonal accessible campsites will be offered in Asessippi (2), Big Whiteshell (South Shore) (2), Black Lake (1), Campers Cove (2), Falcon Lakeshore (6), Hecla/Grindstone (2), Moose Lake (1), Paint Lake (5), Rainbow Beach (2) and Stephenfield (3) in 2021. Expansion to other locations will be considered in future years.

Application Process

Any person with a long-term disability, who requires an accessible seasonal campsite, must make declaration on the application, and return the Physician Certificate with their application.

Draw Process

Draws will maintain the integrity of the draw order process. If a campground offers 100 sites, 100 applicants will be called in draw order, and may include applicants for accessible sites.

Applicants, who have declared the requirement for an accessible site, may select from the designated accessible sites or from any available basic or electrical service site. When an applicant opts to select a site that is not a designated accessible site, no further site accommodation will be made. If an applicant is unsuccessful in obtaining a designated accessible site, they may withdraw, accept a non-accessible site if available, with no further site modification, or opt for the standby list for the next available site, with no further site accommodation.

Once all eligible applicants for accessible sites make a site selection have been processed in the draw, or when accessible sites are the very last to be allocated, unallocated accessible sites may then be selected by any remaining applicant
