HI Rampart Creek - Hostel in Saskatchewan River Crossing provides accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. The hostel has a sauna and a shared kitchen.

All rooms at the hostel are fitted with a shared bathroom and bed linen. Perfect spot to rest . We enjoyed the suggestion to refresh at the stream or walk uo the hill behind or relax by the fire . We enjoyed hearing fellow travelers adventures . Since we were mostly tent camping but all sites were full on the weekend we had our own pillow , sheet and sleeping bag but those are offered nice and clean for weary travelers.
