“With camping season just around the corner, many families are looking to fit BC Parks into their outdoor adventures. The Discover Camping service is a great tool for those campers who know when and where they want to spend their time. With over 5,200 easily accessible campsites to choose from throughout the province, I encourage families to visit the website now and familiarize themselves before the reservation system opens on March 15.” - Mary Polak, Environment Minister

More than 90 reservable parks will be offering site specific reservations, photos and campsite specific information for most sites to help you make your selection.

Be sure to read through the Top 10 things you should know about making reservations. There are no changes to the reservation charges this year ($6.00 plus tax per night will apply, to a maximum of $18.00 plus tax for three or more nights per campsite), but camping fees are being raised to be reinvested in the parks. BC Parks' camping attendance has also been on the rise for the past three years consecutively.
