Camping & Hiking · Scenic Views · Saskatchewan
A family-oriented regional park in Saskatchewan with a beach, playgrounds, serviced sites and a golf course next door; a few campers have found site signs and pedestals in need of upkeep.
Macklin Lake Regional Park is a small, easygoing park that regulars return to year after year. Reviewers describe it as well cared for, with a good beach and playgrounds that are easy to manage with young kids.
Staff at check-in get consistent praise for being friendly and helpful, and washrooms are described as clean. Serviced sites include power, water and sewer, and one camper reported all three working without trouble. The showers are usable, though one regular thinks they're due for an update.
Besides the beach and swimming basin, there's a golf course, and one visitor who came for a ball tournament was surprised by how much there was to do. The lake itself is pleasant for boating, and looks calm in the mornings, though one regular jokingly suggests skipping a swim in it.
The main criticism, from a few years back, was maintenance: damaged or missing site signs, unclear site boundaries and worn water and power pedestals. A tenter also wished for cooking grates on the fire rings. Bring a grill if you plan to cook over the fire.
