Grab a tent, a bucket, some firewood and your best buds when heading out into Yellowknife's great outdoors. Choose some of the best places to camp just a hop and a skip outside the city: Fred Henne Territorial Park, Reid Lake Territorial Park, Prelude Lake Territorial Park, just to name a few.

Reservations for the upcoming season begin in March through the NWT Parks online portal.
