There's probably a luck component but here's my honest review. The minute we arrived at the gate to check in, we were swamped by mosquito armies. We've never seen so many mosquitoes at once before, 3 of us collected over 200 bites during the couple days of camping (no exaggeration, stopped counting after 200😅) . The beaches were nice, it's windy and that's where we escaped from the mosquitoes while enjoyed the lovely sun and sand. Everywhere else we go, mosquitoes are there! I lost track of how many mosquitoes I mentioned in the review but really there's a lot of them! Due to the crazy amount of mosquitoes, we cancelled our hiking plans and stopped by the height of land lookout tower and had a lovely experience. The nature center was fun and bike rental was great. The large playground by the beach was nice, windy and no mosquitoes. Lovely little town to walk around, still got mosquitoes around just saying. I'm probably anemic now lol and my toddler makes me wanna cry with bites all over. Overall, I am a little scared to visit again due to the you know what by now, but overcoming fear is a good thing...
Read morePrince Albert National Park is fantastic it has so many different campsites you can camp close by waskasoo or you can camp out in the outer line regions or if you're adventurous you can hike anywheres from 2 to 25 K Into the Wilderness and camp at remote destinations. My wife and myself just did a 13 km hike in to fish Lake. It was a pretty tough hike we carried all our gear and all our food for two nights and three days anytime you go 13 km with 30 to 40 lb pack it's going to be challenging but it's the right type of Challenge and it's definitely a good time it's peaceful quiet there's very few people that come up that far and it's a beautiful Lake tons of animals deer and porcupine and I think that there are definitely some foxes there's definitely signs of bear but we didn't see any and an unbelievable level of birds in the lake loons and Canadian geese woodpeckers sparrows Ravens I strongly suggest getting into the backcountry doesn't matter how...
Read moreWe visited late May. Beautiful, well-maintained campground. We especially liked the Red Deer bicycle trail. It is paved through town and wide and clear, mostly grass around the perimeter of the park. We picked up the Red trail in town by the beach and followed it through town, by and around the golf course, and around behind the residential sections, then picked up the Yellow trail where it meets the Red trail and followed it around to the Red Deer campground entrance. I'm only describing all that to say the downhill ride from the woods area before getting to the Yellow trail is an absolute thrill! We had not realized we had climbed that far uphill, the uphill rises being pretty small and relatively painless. Definitely recommend this trail in this direction...
