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 to set up our wilderness cabins, offering retreats to weary travellers seeking the healing power of nature. Private, peaceful, and abundant with wildlife, Howling Wolf Riverside Cabins is a tranquil outdoor 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 our camp and wilderness cabins in Saskatchewan with you.
Where we are
Location and Getting There
Howling Wolf Riverside camp encapsulates all things wilderness adventures. 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. We hope that your experience getting to us immerses you into the world of wilderness adventure.
