Only got to spend 1 night on my way to Alberta. The park is located south of the town of Maple Creek. You can refill gas and buy necessities in here or do it in the park as they have a store, restaurant, and gas pump within it. There are many trails around , beach and many modern amenities. The trails are full of deer, and where there is deer, there are ticks. There is a golf course as well. This is a park well worth visiting with the family and for more than 1 day.

Grew up coming here. It's changed a lot, but it's a nice spot for families. There's always something going on. A bit more commercialization than the Elkwater side, so be aware of that if you're looking for seclusion and time in the bush.

Great camping, beautiful nature, peaceful. Great place to “disconnect” from the hustle and bustle. I recommend Reesor lake. Gorgeous. Check for fire bans though so you don’t end up in a pickle.

Hands down, this is our favourite Provincial Park in SK. It has incredible amenities and something for everyone. Glorious vistas abound. The campsites are quite open/very low privacy due to the pines, but if you book the sites on the outside edges of the loops, they're better. Weather can be unpredictable at these elevations. We had hail and cold temps in July. The observatory and dark sky preserve are also a real treat!

Beautiful place that bridges two Canadian provinces. The community here is so rich and inviting, and the amenities (showers) are present for the most part to enhance your stay. Stayed at Medicine Lodge, and would not recommend this lodge as it was infested with many bugs (horse flies and moths) and does not come with internal lighting. Would recommend to simply camp or find another lodge. Elkwater Lake is beautiful at sunset and the beach area is well maintained as well. There are many POIs to explore in the park. We had a blast and would definitely recommend it as a good vacation spot.

Beautiful landscape and a great main beach. Good for hiking for all kinds of hiking trails. Shower facilities were excellent. The free mini golf was an added bonus. The camp store, and more importantly maybe, the laundromat, were not functional and there is a lack of small child friendly activities when it's very windy or poor weather. The outhouses were not on par with usual provincial park outhouses. Not very clean and lots of broken door locks. Also the goose poop and swimmers itch weren't great.

Beautiful place! The lake is nice with sand beaches. The campgrounds are for all tastes: woods, close to the beach and even one fully serviced. Great for family trips!

An oasis in the prarie. Beautiful scenery and hiking with a nice big lake and well kept beach, with lovely green areas close by. It's quiet with not much for amenities. The beach has a changeroom and washroom. The speed limit is 30km/h. Such a peaceful yet busy place to visit in he summer. If you love Swirls ice-cream, they've had a food truck by the beach every time I've gone.

First time at Cypress Hills this year. It's a fantastic park. Would recommend at least 4 nights stay to take everything in. Washrooms were very clean, including the odd outhouse building. Nice warm showers you don't have to pay for and free campfire wood. Hiking trails are very well groomed. All employees in the park were very friendly. Hardly any tree coverage in the Meadows campground, would highly recommend selecting a site on the outer edge. Water craft rentals are very reasonably priced and enjoyable.

Beautiful place to eat a quiet meal. Facilities were clean. Plenty of places to put garbage. The time of year we were there left the park pretty quiet. I would say when it is busy you are pretty close to your neighbor. That said, there are plenty of books and crannies to find some alone time. The scenery is to die for.
