Rubber Ducky Resort & Campground – A family campground located in Warren, near Winnipeg, Manitoba

We have one big project planned and a couple smaller ones still to come this year.  A third play area is almost finished.

There is a new washroom facility coming around mid June that will be set up in the West area of the Campground.

The biggest project will be a 2800 sq ft addition to the front of the Rec Building. It will be similar to a screened in gazebo, so we will be able to enjoy the Manitoba weather without the Manitoba bugs. At this point we are just waiting for the building permit to be finalized and we are hoping to begin construction in early June and be completed within a couple weeks. This is how the plans look. The strip down the middle is the screened section.

Once it is complete the current picture shelter will be removed and the outdoor movie theater will be moved inside the new screened-in area.

There will of course be some minor disruptions to the access to the Rec Building during these couple weeks. The front entrance area will be closed off and the side doors will be used as access points. We will do our best to keep things running as smoothly as possible and hope you can bear with us through this addition.

It finally looks like spring has sprung and I’m sure everyone agrees that it is nice to be able to get out and enjoy some fresh air after being stuck inside for so long.  I don’t think I have ever been so happy to see mud puddles. Usually I hate all the mud and muck that comes with spring, but you won’t catch me complaining that’s for sure.

We have been clearing the snow off the roadways to the campsites so, most areas are now accessible on foot. Until we get some more melting and drying only the main road is open to vehicle traffic. If you are coming out though be prepared as most areas do still have lots of snow in the sites.

It is surprising how much the snow is dropping each day. Last time I checked the forecast the low tonight was supposed to stay above freezing and a high in the double digits for tomorrow. Assuming that hasn’t changed yet, that should take care of lots more. I saw yesterday that last year we had snow up until April 27. I will go out on a limb and say it will be gone earlier this year.

Even if we do have snow left next week, the power will still be turned on. Needless to say, the only water at the sites will be on the ground. It is usually early May before we can turn the water system.  The Rec Building is open for anyone that is planning to come out though. I know we have some die hard campers that have already been out to snow blow getting ready for the long weekend.

However I apologize but I don’t thing the mini golf will be open at that time
