Don't Forget, B.C. Parks Is Moving To A 4-month Booking Window
Campsite reservations start to open tomorrow for B.C. Parks in 2023 and based upon camper feedback, the Parks system has switched to a 4-month rolling booking window. This applies to both frontcountry and backcountry reservations (but not group sites and picnic shelters).
“Through our ongoing visitor engagement, we’ve heard the majority of campers prefer a four-month rolling window, allowing people to book a site well in advance of their visit. We will continue to listen to public feedback so we can improve people’s park experiences, and everyone can easily access the many beautiful parks and backcountry areas our province has to offer.”
More campgrounds are being added to the new reservation service for the 2023 season, including Gwillim Lake Park near Chetwynd, Yahk Park near the Kingsgate border crossing and Allison Lake Park near Princeton. All these campgrounds will maintain a balance of reservable and first-come-first-served sites.
Campsite reservations for Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit already opened December 1st, 2022.
Most of the 23-kilometre Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park will remain closed for the 2023 season, except for 14 sites at the Kinney Lake Campground. Located seven kilometres from the parking lot, Kinney Lake will open for reservations on a four-month rolling window at 7 a.m. on Feb. 27, 2023. The rest of the trail, which was damaged by extreme weather in 2021, remains closed for repairs.
