Communing with nature

Georges Beaudry 

Campers take note! If you tend to steer clear of provincial parks overflowing with people during the summer months, you can take refuge near St. Malo, in southern Manitoba! The banks of the Roseau River will offer you seclusion and guaranteed relaxation, far from the city lights. Lucien and Lucienne Loiselle, lovers of the great outdoors and wilderness camping enthusiasts, share their O’Roseau experience with you.

“Every summer, our family camps on the O’Roseau grounds,” says Lucienne Loiselle. “We come looking for the quiet tranquility of the wilderness setting, with only the sound of the river and rapids.”

With its abundance of space, it is the perfect place for people who enjoy independent camping.” Five acres of field are prepared for light use camping. Campers will all find that perfect spot, close to the river, in the middle of the group or in a more out-of-the-way area.

“We are located in the Roseau River valley and surrounded by huge sand cliffs,” says Georges Beaudry, owner of O’Roseau. People don’t know about this valley, but it’s magnificent. Beautiful and private white sandy beaches line the river.”

Family atmosphere

“It’s the perfect place to bring your children and grandchildren,” says Lucien Loiselle. “Between picnicking with the family beside the river and kayaking, it’s a lovely setting. The owners have created a natural river water pool, which is really great for the little ones, and we don’t have to worry about the current.”

Every summer, campers can take advantage of the many activities offered on the camp site. From the campfire singsongs to the historic interpretation programs, there is something for everyone.
