Tyson Elliott is from Warman and has been camping in the Lynwood Campground at Moose Mountain Provincial Park [MMPP]. Ìý
Elliot was camping with his wife Kim and their three children for a couple of nights. Their four-night trip began at Manitou Beach near Watrous, when they decided that they could go to their favourite camping destination, and pulled up the tent pegs and headed south to Kenosee Lake. Deciding to come on the spur of the moment, with only the bare necessities, which was the tent and cooler they had packed, they bought a couple fold up chairs on arrival to make the stay more comfortable.Ìý
Elliot works as a group home co-ordinator in Saskatoon and his wife operates a daycare in Warman.Ìý
The Elliot family camps a couple times each summer, making the long trek to MMPP which is always one of the places they just have to visit. They also like to camp at Eagle Creek Regional Park, which is about a 40-minute drive west of Saskatoon.Ìý
Last summer the family took a trip through the U.S., touring through Minneapolis and Chicago, and also passing through the states of Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan, before reaching their destination of Toronto where they attended a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game.Ìý
This is the sixth consecutive year that Elliot has camped at MMPP, discovering the park when he was playing baseball at a tournament in Wawota. He noted the Superslides as one of the facilities drawing his attention in the area.Ìý
Elliott first remembers camping with his parents and figures that his first time camping came as soon as his parents felt he was ready to travel.Ìý
He has camped at Kimball Lake, Prince Albert and Loon Lake in northern Saskatchewan but had never camped in the south until coming to MMPP to explore its amenities.Ìý
Elliott always has the campfire going at days end, toasting marshmallows, which are the children’s favourite, and enjoys cooking kabobs, hotdogs, steaks and anything else that you can burn over the fire.Ìý
Elliott is planning to take the family to camp in Northern California to see the Redwoods if travel is allowed into the U.S. next summer.Ìý
Elliott says that MMPP is his favourite place to camp and he recommends anyone looking to go for a camping trip to put Kenosee Lake on the top of the list.Ìý
