Mini cabins being constructed in St. Malo Provincial Park

Manitobans will soon have a new opportunity to go glamping.

Six mini cabins are being constructed in St. Malo Provincial Park, offering outdoor enthusiasts a new “comfort camping” option, said a news release from the province Friday.

Located in the park’s Sunset Shores area, the new cabins — part of a $2.5 million investment from the province — will cost approximately $90 a night and will be available through the provincial reservation system.

The “made-in-Manitoba” cabins will have electrical connections, beds and a cooking area outside, but the province said parkgoers will have to bring their own bedding and cooking equipment.

The cabins can be booked for seven nights max and are expected to be completed later this summer. A new beach washroom is also in the works.

Manitobans are being encouraged to get outside this weekend, as entry to provincial parks is free and anglers can fish without a licence.

Campers are advised to check out the Manitoba Parks website to reserve the camping spaces and get informed on closures and advisories.
