Manitou & District Regional Park
Overview
Manitou & District Regional Park offers a one-of-a-kind prairie getaway centered around the mineral-rich waters of Little Manitou Lake. Known widely as the Dead Sea of Canada, this destination is famous for its high salt content, which allows swimmers to float effortlessly. The park provides a resort-like atmosphere that blends unique natural wonders with modern camping facilities, making it a premier choice for travelers looking to experience the therapeutic benefits of Saskatchewan's salt-water oasis.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just north of Watrous, Saskatchewan, the park is nestled within the scenic rolling landscapes of the prairies. The surrounding area is characterized by the stunning vistas of the Qu'Appelle Valley region and the expansive, mineral-heavy lake that remains a centerpiece of local tourism. Visitors will find themselves surrounded by lush greenery and well-maintained grounds that serve as a quiet escape from the bustle of highway travel.

The sites are notably spacious and often sheltered by mature trees, providing the perfect balance of privacy and shade for long-term stays.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the buoyant waters of the beach, visitors have access to the Manitou Golf Club, a challenging 18-hole course located directly adjacent to the park. A short trip into the village leads to the historic Danceland, a world-famous dance hall featuring a unique horsehair-cushioned floor. For those seeking indoor relaxation, the nearby Manitou Springs Resort and Mineral Spa offers heated mineral pools that utilize the same therapeutic waters found in the lake.

We stayed here in 2013 and was not disappointed. In 2025 we were not disappointed again. It's wonderful that they are so close to the beach and other things. I really hope to return again in the future. Keep up the great work!

Have stayed here multiple times over the past 10 years. Park is clean, camp sites are nicely sized, well treed. Lots of full service sites. Only drawback is you have to purchase their fire wood, a little expensive, $10 for a small bundle. We attended the chainsaw carving competition this year, definitely worth seeing. Close access to a nice golf course, as well as Manitou Beach and Spa.

I don’t really leave reviews on every place I go, but this campground is worth the review. Clean facilities, free wifi, clean campsites, beautiful nature and friendly people. Also a walking distance to the Manitou Lake. Just awesome place to visit and spend a few nights.

Fantastic campground, very clean and quiet. Nice facilities with flushing toilets and warm showers. Highly recommend taking the hiking trail that leads east out the back of the campground, follow it eastward and make an immediate left after the bridge, very beautiful trail that follows a creek. Unfortunately the campground lacks privacy in the campsites, but there are a few that aren't bad. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Clean, quiet, free showers (big showers!). Uncertain about laundry. Electic sites, and from what i could tell the water was poatable. Would go again!!! Note: this time of year (june) had a fait bit of white fluff on the ground which spreads easily.
