Being an RV resort host is all about the people
No two days are ever the same for Sheri Crockatt, owner of Rubber Ducky Resort & Campground in Manitoba

Rubber Ducky Resort & Campground is the place to be if you're looking for family fun. The resort boasts daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal camping and has two pools, two hot tubs, scheduled activities, bumper boats, minigolf, two playgrounds and—believe it or not—an outdoor movie theatre.
Its location is also ideal. Rubby Ducky is centrally located in a peaceful country setting, only five minutes from Warren, 10 minutes from Stonewall and 20 minutes from Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is just minutes away from the 18-hole South Interlake Golf Course, 20 minutes away from Oak Hammock Marsh and is situated near prime waterfowl hunting areas.
Sheri Crockatt, owner of Rubber Ducky, said she loves running the resort because no two days are ever the same.
