Whether you’re a seasoned RVer or just getting started, this guide covers everything you need to know about spring RV camping in Saskatchewan—from prepping your rig and booking campsites to the best seasonal activities to make the most of your trip.

Prep Your RV for Spring Adventures

Before you hit the road, there’s some inspections, preparations, and planning to do. Especially if your RV has sat in storage over the winter. Check out our 10-point checklist below so you can ensure a successful start to the camping season!

1. Inspect the Outside of Your RV (Roof, Seals, Awning): Winter and sudden weather changes can be harsh on your RV, so it’s important to inspect the roof, seals, and awning for any minor damages.
2. Check Tires and Tire Pressure: Cold temperatures can cause exterior flaws and tire pressures to drop. Check the integrity of your tires and inflate them to the proper PSI.
3. Test Your Propane: Reinstall and check your propane tanks to confirm they’re still full and not showing any signs of erosion.
4. De-Winterize and Drain Water: Learn how to de-winterize by clicking here.
5. Sanitize Your Water System: You can do this by adding a diluted bleach solution to your freshwater tank and running it through the system.
6. Reinstall and Check Your Batteries: Batteries drain easily when left unused, so be sure to test them, check the charge, and replace or charge them up if needed.
7. Test Electrical and Emergency Functions: Connect to shore power and ensure the slide moves properly without any snags, the lights work, and your RV fridge is running.
8. Inspect the Engine: If you’re camping in a motorhome, be sure to check the engine oil, coolant, and fluids.
9. Take it for a Test Drive: Hook up your tow vehicle and perform a pre-driving inspection and road test.
10. Give the Interior and Exterior a Spring Cleaning: Now is the perfect time to deep clean your RV before the camping season starts.

Experience Saskatchewan’s Spring Flowers

One of the best things about springtime is all the flowers in bloom. Saskatchewan has some prime, RV-friendly locations to spot the province’s most famous spring flowers, like the Prairie Crocus, which begins to pop up before the snow even melts.

The Meewasin Valley

The Meewasin Valley is full of conservation areas, trails, and parks, with the main trail spanning over 105 km along both sides of the river. Expect to see colourful early spring flowers like purple Prairie Crocus and late-spring species like the Three-flowered Avens begin to emerge in May. Some of the best flower-spotting stops in this area are Wanuskewin Heritage Park, Crocus Prairie, and Beaver Creek Conservation Area.

Places to Camp

• Gordon Howe Campground
• Saskatoon 16 West RV Park
• Campland RV Resort

Grasslands National Park

This national park is one of the best places to spot rare and unique flower species in the spring/early summer. The warmer seasons bring a beautiful blend of sweet aromas and colourful blooms such as crocus, rose, violets, and buttercups to the area.

Places to Camp

• Frenchman Valley Campground
• Rock Creek Campground

Hit the Road for the Holidays

Easter may not be the warmest time to hit the road, but if you’re willing to embrace a little spring chill, it’s a uniquely memorable way to kick off the camping season. While many seasonal campgrounds don’t open until May, plenty of private sites welcome RVers over the Easter long weekend—often hosting festive activities like campground-wide egg hunts, cozy campfires, and family-friendly gatherings that make the experience well worth it.

Start Planning Your Springtime Fun

Milder weather and longer, sunnier days make spring the perfect time to get outdoors. If you’re planning an RV getaway, a little preparation goes a long way, so pack activities you can enjoy both inside your RV and out in the fresh air. Here are some of our top picks to make the most of the season.

1. Pack the Fun with Outdoor Games: Break out the bocce balls and badminton rackets, set up a soccer game or fly kites in the spring breeze!
2. Reel in Your Catch of the Day: The angling season in Saskatchewan typically closes in March and reopens in May. Many lakes are starting to melt, which raises water levels and increases food sources for all lake life. This can cause fish to become more active and draw them into shallower waters, which means easier access for shore and dock fishing. Also, spring is spawning season for many fish species – making this the perfect time to defrost your skills!
3. Go for a Family Bike Ride: Biking is a great RV spring activity and a fun way to explore the campground. Park and campground trails start to reopen this season, and the blooming flowers and trees make for a scenic cruise. Plus, the cooler temperatures mean less bug swatting and sweat, so you can enjoy the ride in comfort.
4. Cozy up by the Campfire: Campfires are a camping staple, and there is no better time to savour them than in the spring. During the summer, many areas enforce campfire bans due to wildfire risks, but spring campfires are much safer to burn and typically allowed at most campgrounds. Plus, those chilly spring nights make the campfire feel even cozier. Wildfire risks are always changing and evolving, so be sure to check with official sources, like the provincial fire ban map, before you go.
5. Get Creative at Your Campsite: Get creative using sidewalk chalk, paint or fallen foliage. For example, paint some smooth stones or press wildflowers and make them into bookmarks using tape and construction paper. Forgot the crafting supplies? Build tiny fairy houses using rocks, bark, and moss!
