Gordon Howe Campground
A city campground in Saskatoon with treed, well-spaced sites, free showers and laundry, and a friendly office. Handy for exploring town, though some sites are on the small side.
What visitors say
Gordon Howe Campground sits at the end of a road in Saskatoon, next to a golf course and a large sports complex, and visitors are often surprised by how quiet it is for a city campground. Mature trees and flowers give it a leafy feel, and several reviewers say it feels further out of town than it is.
The practical side gets consistent praise. Washrooms and showers are clean and the showers are free, there's a laundromat that keeps office hours, and a small store sells basics. Sites come as pull-throughs and back-ins with electric and water, plus tent sites. Staff are described as caring and helpful; one camper who booked the wrong date was found the last available site and given tips for downtown.
It works well as a base for a weekend in the city, whether that's a ball game, restaurants or sightseeing. A big central green space has a playground for kids, and campers say the grounds feel safe and secure overnight. Food options right nearby are limited to a gas station and a takeout pizza place.
The main caveat is site size. A few reviewers found sites a bit small, even if well spaced, and one camper warns that site 136 is effectively a drive-through that other people cut across. There's no pool. If you have a larger rig, ask about site length when booking.
