Hidden away in a mature forest on the bank of a winding river, Riverside is a peaceful retreat far away from the stressors of everyday life.
Who are we
About Us
Our family has been running wilderness adventures throughout Canada for over 30 years. When we first visited this location we knew we had found somewhere special. Private, peaceful, and abundant with wildlife, Riverside camp is a tranquil retreat far away from the stressors of modern life. Whether you are looking for some adventure along the river, or somewhere quiet to sit and be still, we can’t wait to share the magic of Riverside camp with you.
Where we are
Location and Getting There
Riverside is absolute wilderness at its best. A 3.5-hour drive from Saskatoon will take you to the end of the road. From there we’ll pick you up at the trailhead for the last 16km off-grid into camp. In winter, this transport will be provided by a snowmobile-drawn sleigh. In other seasons, it will be a combination of ATV, boat, and canoe that you may request during your booking.
Dedicated camp manager
Guest Support
You will have your own dedicated Camp Manager who will facilitate your stay and keep things running safely and smoothly. They can answer all your questions about the area, facilities, and activities (and stay out of your way when not needed). They may stay in the main camp at the staff cabin, or visit daily to ensure everything is taken care of. They will do the daily chores around camp, including:
- Maintaining the wood supply for heating
- Maintaining the fuel supply for stoves and generators
- Maintenance of camp equipment
Additional staffing can be provided as needed based on the activities requested by your group.
