Location & Surroundings
The park is nestled within a landscape dominated by ancient rocks and pristine waters. It sits just a short distance from the shores of Lake Athapapuskow, one of the premier fishing destinations in the province. The surrounding area is characterized by dense forests and crystal-clear lakes, offering a true sense of isolation and tranquility. Being in Cranberry Portage means you are strategically positioned between the Grass River and the northern shield, where nature remains largely untouched and breathtakingly expansive.

The park features full hookup options including water, sewer, and electricity to ensure a comfortable stay.

Essential facilities like clean washrooms and laundry services are available, making it a reliable stop for those on extended northern expeditions through the Manitoba wilderness.

Anglers flock to the region for world-class trophy fishing, specifically targeting lake trout and northern pike in the nearby chain of lakes.

For a change of pace, the nearby mining town of Flin Flon offers unique geological sightseeing, local museums, and full urban services within a rugged landscape.

We don't camp, but we stop by regularly in the summer. We sit and have a few smokes at one of the picnic tables.

Drove through the provincial park next door which was beautifully maintained to get to McKenzie's RV park, which was not well maintained. There had been lots of rain there, and the RV park was very muddy, the parking stalls had very little gravel for the trailer and are barely big enough to park a truck, never mind an RV. The grass hadn't been trimmed down in most places. Fire pit we had was full of old garbage and ash turned to clay from rain. The only wood available was green spruce full of spruce bugs, sawed into lengths but not split, and no kindling around so it was impossible to light a fire. The owner was away when we checked in and they had said their son would be there, but nobody was around. We weren't shown where to put the garbage or recycling. Found a recycling bin that was overflowing when we arrived and was not cleaned up at all during the four days we were there - good for attracting bears. Campsites are very close together. One good thing was the convenience of water and sewer hookup right at the campsite. Never did see or talk to an owner/operator. Wifi was advertised, but didn't work.

Just stopped here briefly on the way to Flin Flon from Winnipeg to take a short rest and stretch my legs, but the scenery was quite nice. :)

This campground and especially the park on the other site offer some stunning landscapes in an otherwise quite sleepy town.
