A small, no-services campground on Sandy (Halkett) Lake in Prince Albert National Park, SK, loved for quiet, clear water, sunsets and picnics. The boat launch is shallow and sites can fill with RVs.
Sandy Lake Campground, which regulars also know as Halkett Lake, is a small, quiet campground in Prince Albert National Park, away from the busier Waskesiu area. Visitors talk about the lake views, clear water, rocky shoreline and colourful sunsets and autumn leaves.
It's a simple place with no power or water at sites, and reviewers who like it say that's part of the appeal. Picnic areas get plenty of use for cooking over a fire, and the washrooms and fish-cleaning facilities are described as well maintained. Sites can't be pre-booked: you show up, set up and register. It's dog-friendly, and one regular appreciated owners cleaning up after their pets.
Families come for swimming off the dock and picnics, and paddlers enjoy kayaking along the shoreline. Anglers use the boat launch and fish-filleting station. There's no Wi-Fi, which suits people looking to unplug.
The boat launch is shallow, and a couple of boaters struggled to launch or retrieve pontoon boats with two-wheel-drive trucks. With its small size, the campground can fill with trailers and RVs, leaving little room for tents. One visitor felt stay limits weren't enforced for long-term campers in prime spots.
