Manitobans are lucky to have such great camp spots all over the province. I'm the son of teachers, so barely spent any summertime in the city growing up & while it's tougher to do that now as I get older, still like to give it an effort.
Last year was mostly my regular spots; Camp Morton north of Gimli, Caddy Lake, big Whiteshell seasonals & annual fishing expedition out at Shoe Lake.
This year, more of the same, only I've got a friend's wedding in Jasper - - great excuse to see that beautiful part of the country! And actually... part of the reason i made this post; I had no idea some National Parks are open for reservations this soon in 2018!!
If you've never been to Shoe Lake, give it a go. Backcountry. Boat to site...which is it's own island. Absolute paradise.
