SASKATOON – Campers looking for sites near Saskatoon will have more options in 2016 – 63 to be exact. The Saskatchewan government announced Monday Blackstrap provincial park will be expanding.
The new campsites will all be electrified, and ten of those will be full-service with water and sewer hook ups. Only 12 of the current 80 campgrounds have electricity.
A new service centre, access road, RV sewage disposal and water, wastewater and electrical distribution systems are also part of the plan.
“This investment will provide a greater opportunity for visitors to experience the exceptional recreation activities available at Blackstrap Provincial Park,” said Mark Docherty, Saskatchewan’s minister of parks, culture and recreation.
