Stayed in the campground. It's 2km South of the original Camp Morton (there you'll find the park office, and the cabins, as well as the historic buildings).
The campground is basically a field-loop, with 20 or so spots. Some of the spaces are very close together... Too close together, and there is no privacy. Lot #13 seems to be the biggest, and is close to the beach. There are some big trees, which are nice. At the entrance there is a parking lot for 4-5 cars, and 2 outhouses - but no running water, (so no showers), with garbage and recycling.
On the east side, there is a cliff and Lake Winnipeg. The beach is rocky. There were two picnic tables on the beach, the northern most one had a greater amount of sandy beach (and sand bars in the water). Bring water shoes! The lake is relatively shallow, so you can go in pretty deep.
On the south and west side of the Camp loop, there is a treed ravine (mostly dried up creek). The kids had lots of fun catching leeches, frogs, and bugs. There's a sign saying "dangerous bridge" or something to that effect. The bridge is long gone... Just walk around the sign and head down the trail to the beach. Keep in mind there's no lifeguard here.
While the North is treed with some grass trails. The trails were really fun to bike/walk. Very low difficulty level. In the winter they serve as cross country ski trails.
It's important to note the wind. I read something about an "abundance of fresh air" at the Camp Morton Park - something they're proud of. In the evenings the wind comes off the lake and doesn't let up... So you hear it all night long.
Overall it's fine, but I don't expect to come back any time soon, without a hard...

My favourite place to rent cabins! Our family rents here for at least a week each summer, more if we can snag another spot. Cabins are cute and clean, the park is beautiful, and all of the staff (both in the office and maintenance crews on the grounds) are super friendly. It's pretty quiet compared to other campgrounds which is perfect for me. The absolute best feature about Camp Morton is the massive firewood pile which is in walking distance from all cabins (with a wheelbarrow to help you cart your wood back to your fire pit!). The only thing that I wish was different is that I wish there were showers in the cabin -- there are paid showers within walking distance of the cabins, but it would be really nice to be able to rinse off quickly without it being a...

Just came back from a two night stay in one of the cabins, and it was lovely. The cabins are an amazing price for the rental, and the park is beautiful with the ruins of the old camp. The beach is good, although from the cabin area it can be difficult to get down there. Staff are helpful and friendly and the cabins were clean. The reason why there are only four stars is that the pay showers are in rough shape, and need to be renovated. There are other Manitoba Parks showers that are much better. It's not that the staff didn't clean (they really are nice and I saw them cleaning them), it's that the surfaces are old and hold onto the dirt, and there's no bench in each stall, making getting dressed...
