#Fallen leaf campground ca full
It’s going to be full of kids and dogs and campers who are not necessarily out there to experience nature but to see family and friends and likely drink a caseload of Bud Light a day. One of the better jobs by a large scale campground I’ve experienced.īut be prepared. It is absolutely that place that families go year after year after year, but if you can get a site on the outer loop you can still have some separation, plenty of trees and with the lake so close, feel like you’re in the heart of nature. That said, Fallen Leaf Campground does a great job of keeping an “out in the woods” vibe. According to a post in the Saskatchewan Severe Weather Tracker Facebook group, “there’s hardly a street in town that doesn’t have trees down” in Nipawin.Fallen Leaf Campground is a massive 206+ site compound complete with its own store, shower houses and if you travel past the camp all the way to the other side of the lake (and other campgrounds) an ice cream shop. The Dam Smokehouse in Nipawin said the business experienced a gas line break and a make-up air unit tore off of the building’s foundation. SaskPower said there were also outages caused by the storm in Nipawin, Tobin Lake, Choiceland and Carrot River. The townsite had no power between 8:30 p.m. Parks Canada said both the Beaver Glen and Red Deer campgrounds had trees fall on RVs.Īccording to the Environment Canada warning issued on Saturday evening, the line of thunderstorms stretched from west of Prince Albert to west of Saskatoon, travelling east.Įnvironment Canada said the line of storms could produce “very strong wind gusts, nickel to ping pong ball size hail and heavy rain.”Īccording to Parks Canada, the fire department responded to several power lines down in town. Trees were also blocking main roads in the townsite, but those were swiftly cleared, he added.
However, Howie said, there were several vehicles and RVs that became trapped under large trees. When they returned to their campsite at about 10:30 p.m., they were surprised to find no further damage. “It was apparent that it wasn’t safe in the campground, so we drove back to town and waited the storm out in town away from trees,” he said. “You could hear the cracks of trees bending and breaking, so we kind of closed things down as best we could and hopped in our car and left.”Īs they were driving away, a tree fell beside the vehicle, scuffing the side with branches. “By the time we got to the campsite, the wind was blowing and it was looking pretty scary in the campground,” he said. Howie said they were in the townsite for ice cream when his dad warned them of the incoming storm. Parks Canada staff and firefighters began response immediately, which included clearing trees and debris from main roads in the townsite and campgrounds.Ĭurtis Howie and his family were staying in the Beaver Glen campground. – the same line of storms that caused damage in communities across north-central Saskatchewan, including North Battleford, Nipawin and Meadow Lake. Leah Howie/TwitterĪ storm that ripped through Waskesiu on Saturday left vehicles and RVs damaged by fallen trees.Īccording to Parks Canada, the storm hit around 8:30 p.m. A Canada Day storm left some RVs in the Beaver Glen and Red Deer campgrounds in Waskesiu trapped under fallen trees.
