Overview
Memorial Lake Regional Park offers a quintessential Saskatchewan camping experience centered around a pristine, spring-fed lake. Established to provide a recreational haven for the community, this destination has grown into a premier hub for RVers seeking a balance between natural beauty and modern convenience. The park is well-known for its lush parkland setting and the vibrant, friendly atmosphere that develops during the peak summer months. It serves as an ideal base for travelers wanting to explore the northern edge of the province’s agricultural belt where the forest begins to take hold.
Location & Surroundings
Situated adjacent to the charming village of Shell Lake, SK, the park is easily accessible via Highway 3. The surrounding landscape features a transition from open prairies to dense boreal forest, providing a scenic and sheltered backdrop for every campsite. The lake itself is the centerpiece, characterized by its remarkably clear water and well-maintained sandy shores. RVers will appreciate the proximity to local services in the village while still feeling immersed in the peaceful, wooded environment that defines the regional park system.

The park is equipped with various site types, including several options with full hookups and 30-amp service to accommodate diverse RV sizes and power needs. Beyond the camping pads, guests have access to clean modern washrooms, coin-operated showers, and a convenient sani-dump station. For recreation, the park features a renowned 18-hole championship golf course, a mini-golf circuit for children, and multiple updated playgrounds. The boat launch and designated swimming areas ensure that water enthusiasts can fully enjoy the lake’s refreshing conditions throughout their stay.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Activity at Memorial Lake often revolves around the water, with popular pastimes including fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding on the calm surface. The park also maintains several kilometers of hiking and biking trails that wind through natural aspen and spruce stands, offering glimpses of local wildlife. For a change of pace, the nearby village of Shell Lake offers unique local boutiques, essential groceries, and local eateries. Golfers can spend days on the links, while the sandy beach area remains the top spot for families to relax and sunbathe.
Who This Park Is Best For

We stayed in the sites further from the beach which we liked. The grounds are well-kept, walking distance to the golf course, a restaurant, mini-gulf & village merchants. The park was full of families & pets and pleasantly quiet. Washrooms are rustic but looked after. Shower room is cold & have to pay $1 for 2-3 mins of water you have no control over the temperature. When you pay for park entry & site, I don't think you should be paying for showers. Otherwise, a nice park for camping.

The campground has a lot of potential, is very peaceful overall and in a great location, but the campsites are far too close together for any modicum of privacy, especially when many of the campers are seasonal with VERY big rigs, golf carts and lots of stuff! The shower/washroom buildings are probably the worst I have encountered - the smaller single washrooms seemed to be a little more pleasant, however. We were also a little blindsided that we still had to pay a $10 per day fee, per vehicle (we had 2) despite having paid for a campsite - good value at $50 for the season if you're staying a while, but not so much if you're only there for 3 days.

Staff was inpatient and were not very willing to help. My granddaughters also got the itch from the lake.
