If you’re planning to camp in a provincial park this summer take note. Camping reservations open this month.
Discover Camping, the BC Parks reservation system will begin accepting reservations on March 15. Although individual campsite reservations don’t open until March 15, the inventory for 2016 will be available to view on the Discover Camping website March 9 at 9am – so don’t wait until opening day to plan your vacation.
Many of these camping sites can be booked up to three months in advance and there are three new locations that allow reservations for the 2016 season: Dry Gulch, Inland Lake, and Okanagan Falls.
There are also two new group campsites at Syringa and Kootenay Lake parks, and, for the first time, two “rustic” trapper’s cabins in Wells Gray Provincial Park that are now reservable.
Groups can also now book their favourite picnic spots at Summit Lake, Ten Mile Lake, Lac La Hache and Green Lake provincial parks.
The Discover Camping website will display the availability, layout and amenities at 122 campgrounds and more than 5, 800 campsites – throughout British Columbia.
In 2015, more than 158,000 reservations were made through Discover Camping, an increase of almost 19% from 2014.
