Quick Overview
Shaunavon is a small town of about 1,800 people in southwestern Saskatchewan, located along Highway 37 south of the Trans-Canada Highway. The area has several RV campgrounds and parks, with some offering free access to RVers. Shaunavon sits in ranch and oil country, and the landscape around town features rolling grasslands and coulees that give it more visual character than the flat prairies to the north and east.
The town is the commercial centre for the surrounding rural area and has a surprisingly good museum -- the Grand Coteau Heritage and Cultural Centre -- that covers the region's ranching and First Nations history. For RVers, the campgrounds here are practical and well-maintained, offering electrical hookups and clean facilities in a quiet setting.
Grasslands National Park's West Block is located about an hour south of Shaunavon, making the town a practical base for exploring one of Canada's most unique national parks. The park protects one of the last remaining pieces of native prairie grassland and is home to free-roaming bison herds, black-tailed prairie dogs, and some spectacular badlands scenery that looks like it belongs in a western film. For RVers interested in dark sky viewing, the park is also a designated Dark Sky Preserve. Check the listings below to find the right campground for your stay in Shaunavon.
