A large, treed campground in the Centre Block of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, Saskatchewan, praised for big sites, clean showers and quiet nights. Most sites have power only, so confirm if you need full service.
Rainbow is one of the bigger campgrounds in the Saskatchewan side of Cypress Hills, and reviewers keep coming back to the trees. Mature pines shade most sites, and campers describe it as quiet, especially midweek and after 11 p.m. Several people mention how few mosquitoes they met, and one camper who stayed in September saw plenty of wildlife.
The sites are the main selling point. Reviewers describe them as large, with huge pull-throughs, and one family fit a 38-foot trailer with three slides into a back-in site without trouble. Most sites have electric hookups, a fire pit with a grill top, and flat ground for tents. The shower house gets consistent praise for being clean, with one visitor noting it was cleaned twice a day, and several were pleased to find flush toilets where they expected outhouses.
The location is central without being in the thick of the traffic. Campers walk or drive to the park's core, where reviewers mention a small lake with a sandy beach, boat rentals, a pool, golf and mini golf, horseback riding, go-karts, a grocery store and evening entertainment. It suits families and trailer campers who want a base with plenty to do nearby.
The main caveat is servicing. Only some sites have full service, and one camper was disappointed to find they had booked electric-only, so check when you reserve. Some sites back onto each other and privacy is limited in places, and one camper felt a few sites could have been levelled better. A recent visitor said they would try the nearby Meadows campground next time for level sites and darker skies.
