Quick Overview

Arnes sits on the western shore of Lake Winnipeg, about 100 km north of Winnipeg, and serves as a quiet gateway to Manitoba's Interlake region. You'll find several RV dump stations here, with some free options available. This small community caters primarily to summer lake visitors and anglers heading to Hecla-Grindstone Provincial Park.

The dump station landscape is straightforward. Both facilities operate as part of private RV resorts that welcome transient dumpers during the camping season. Mordens Meadows Trailer Park is the newest addition to the area's sanitary dump infrastructure.

Access is simple if you know the route. PR-222 branches east off Highway 8 and takes you directly into Arnes. Highway 8 runs north-south through the Interlake, connecting you to Gimli and Winnipeg to the south. Highway 59 offers an alternative approach from Winnipeg's east side, though it's a longer route. RV-friendly roads throughout, with no low clearances or weight restrictions to worry about.

Both sani-dump facilities here require payment, so budget accordingly. The good news? Competition keeps prices reasonable, and you're paying for well-maintained stations that serve a steady stream of summer campers.
