Whether you've got a small travel trailer or a big Class A motorhome, the facilities here will accommodate your rig without any access issues.

Dump your tanks first thing in the morning during peak summer weekends -- the campgrounds in Prince Albert National Park fill to capacity on long weekends and the dump stations see heavy use from mid-morning onward as people break camp. If you're camping at Beaver Glen or the Elk Ridge campgrounds, the dump stations are well-positioned for a quick stop on your way in or out of the park without any major detour. Propane refills are available at the marina area in the Waskesiu townsite, which is convenient if you're already in the area. The main beach at Waskesiu is gorgeous with clear water and sandy shores, and it can fill up completely by midday in July and August, so get there early for the best spots. Bring bear-aware food storage since the park has active black bear populations -- Parks Canada takes food storage rules very seriously and will issue fines for violations. Water fill-ups are available at campground service points throughout the park, but always use a dedicated white potable water hose for safe filling.
