Wild Oaks Campground
Overview
Wild Oaks Campground offers a refreshing retreat tucked into a mature forest in Richer, Manitoba. This family-oriented destination is known for its peaceful atmosphere and spacious sites that provide a true sense of being immersed in nature. Whether you are stopping for a night while traveling across Canada or staying for the season, the park balances rustic charm with modern conveniences. It is an ideal spot for those looking to swap city noise for the sound of wind through the trees and a classic camping experience.
Location & Surroundings
Located just off the Trans-Canada Highway, the park is situated within the scenic Sandilands region. Its location in Richer makes it an accessible gateway for travelers entering or leaving the Winnipeg area. The surroundings are defined by dense woods and sandy soil, creating a serene environment that feels far removed from the bustle of the city. This strategic location allows guests to enjoy a secluded feel while remaining close enough to major routes for easy navigation and travel planning.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground is well-equipped to handle modern RVs with full-service hookups including power, water, and sewer options. Guests frequently enjoy the two heated swimming pools, which serve as the heart of summer activity. Other features include:
- A well-maintained playground for children
- Clean laundry facilities
- A centralized convenience store for essentials and treats
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Sandilands Provincial Forest, where miles of trails are available for hiking and mountain biking. For a touch of culture and history, the Mennonite Heritage Village in nearby Steinbach offers a fascinating look at regional pioneer life. Additionally, being a short drive from Winnipeg allows visitors to explore the The Forks National Historic Site or the Canadian Museum for Human Rights before returning to the quiet of their wooded campsite in the evening.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an excellent choice for families with children who value a safe, engaging environment with plenty of outdoor activities like swimming and hiking. It also suits cross-country RVers who need a reliable, high-quality stopover that feels more like a destination than a basic parking lot. If you prefer a nature-focused experience with the comfort of heated pools and full amenities, this campground provides the perfect middle ground between rugged wilderness camping and a full-service resort stay.

Don’t waste your time. We arrived after being told we are getting a huge site- our 30ft camper didn’t even fit into the site. When we went back to the office it was like the girl was waiting for us to come back, like as if she knew when we left to park that we wouldn’t fit. Beaches are disgusting and full of leeches!! In the pool in our second day we found an old starting to rot mole in the pool. After my kids swan in it all day and even taking in water!! That pool should be checked multiple times a day for chemical levels and no one was ever there… besides to check if you have a wristband on 🙄🙄🙄 Hours were clearly posted 10am -10pm - kids eagerly waited over an hour at 10, no one showed up and no one answers the office phone! I tried 20 times! NO SERVICE OR WIFI! Playgrounds are old and dilapidated!!! Will not return!

The campground is great for kids and families, lots to do. We did have 2 concerns. They give wrist bands for some reason, and we forgot ours in the truck. Some dude with no shirt (did he even work there?) approaches us telling us to get out of the pool and demands we go put them on. I noticed many people not wearing them and they were able to stay. It’s not Mexico up in here people, where were my free drinks! Second concern is how many vehicles and how fast those vehicles were driving around the camp ground. Several of them were just driving laps around. Many other campers said the same thing.

Very spacious site with lots to explore. A nice hidden oasis "Boot Lake" see it on maps. Lots of fun for kids...seems as though they are encouraged to be very loud...as kids can be. Play structure and ponds full of frogs to explore. Private swimming, pool and hot tub. Not even an hour outside of Winnipeg. Nothing but good things to say about Wild Oaks.

Love love Wild oaks resort and campsite. Loved it so much we now have a seasonal campsite for next year. The owner and their children are fantastic people. Lots to do lake pool, zip line, volleyball court, basketball court. I can't say enough of this place. 🤗❤
