Try Out B.C. Parks' New Website
B.C. Parks is giving everyone a chance to try out their new website before it ‘goes live’ on March 22nd, 2022. The redesign is intended to be more user-friendly and a key feature of the redesign is to improve the online reservation system with expanded features.
“More people every year are getting out and connecting with nature and green space in our beautiful BC Parks. It’s key to our health and well-being. We’ve engaged with people over the past two years and we’ve heard the call for improvements to the reservation service and the need to build a more reliable, easy-to-use service system.”
The new reservation service will include key features such as:
more flexible search options to find and book a campsite;
maps, calendars and lists of available sites for quicker navigation;
saved booking preferences and locations within customer accounts; and
as many as five large photos per campsite.
People can book a campsite at most campgrounds two months ahead of their desired arrival date. Reservations for group campsites open March 24 for the rest of the year and reservations for the popular Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit will open in early April, with availability between May and September. The Berg Lake Trail does not have an anticipated opening date due to damage caused by severe flooding in the summer.
The new BC Parks test site is live and provides a glimpse into the design work and improvements being made. New content and features will be added to the site during the coming months. People can also sign up to join future focus groups to help inform the future of all BC Parks digital products and services.
