MANNING
, 50km north of Peace River, is the last sizeable community and services centre for another 200km, making its pair of
motels
vital and often very busy as a result. The sixteen-unit
Garden Court
(tel 836-3399; $80-100) has kitchenettes and is smaller and a shade more expensive than the 42-unit
Manning Motor Inn
(tel 836-2801; $60-80). For the tiny nine-site municipal
campsite
(tel 836-3606; $10; May-Sept) on the Notikewin River, turn east at the summer-only
infocentre
(summer daily 9am-5pm; tel 836-3875) on the highway. Camping (25 sites) is also sometimes available on the Condy Meadows golf course (tel 836-2176), north of town on Hwy 35 - look for signs ($10).
Only a couple of basic campsites and the odd wind-blown store disturb the peace
north of Manning
, though if you're
camping
it's as well to know you can expect the unwelcome nocturnal attention of bears in these parts. Official tenting spots are
Notikewin Provincial
(tel 554-1348; $9; May-Oct), 30km east of Hwy 35 on Hwy 692 - look for the junction 37km north of Manning, and the 49-site
Twin Lakes Provincial Recreation Area
(tel 554-1348; $9; May-Sept), a total of 65km north of Manning on Hwy 35. Other useful information
