Not owning any camping equipment is no longer a barrier to camping in Saskatchewan.
Three provincial parks now have Camp-Easy equipped campsites.
Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Gene Makowsky, says from public input there was strong interest for this type of offering.
Each campsite has a large stand-up tent on a wooden platform, six sleeping cots, a screened dining tent, a camp stove and propane tank, a lantern, wash bins, camp chairs and roasting sticks.
the sites are available at Buffalo Pound, Echo Valley and Pike Lake provincial parks.
Sask Parks also offers a Learn to Camp program on designated dates for these Camp-Easy sites.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
