GRAND BEACH CAMPGROUND - GRAND BEACH PROVINCIAL PARK, NEAR WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA: GPS 50.5605° N, 96.6235° W

​

I'm rating this higher than I might otherwise because it is so popular that most people must like it a bit more than me. The beaches and the campground are very crowded (granted we were there in July). The lake isn't as pretty as some we've seen.

​

There is ample space between the campsites to allow for privacy, which is nice. We had a challenging back-in, albeit not as challenging as some we've had to get into. We were in loop/bay 15 space 3 and the one prior to us (I assume it was space 1) was right under a transformer pole so there was a constant hum that we could easily hear from our campsite.

​

The bathrooms were fine. Nothing great, but flush toilets with running water in the sink. There are free showers, which I haven't yet seen, so I can't report on them, although from what I hear they are average -- not clean/not dirty, not large/not small. There's worse and there's better. There is also a laundry room, although it is very expensive: $3/load for each washer and dryer.

​

They have a couple of very easy dump stations with potable water.

​

We have cellular on both AT&T and Verizon, although not strong enough to stream. There is supposedly wifi in the park, but even at it's "hub" it is a very weak signal.
