Earlier Start-up Date for Discover Camping Reservation Service‏

Earlier Start-up Date for Discover Camping Reservation Service

2011 will commemorate the 100^th anniversary of provincial parks in British Columbia. The first park, Strathcona, was designated on March 1, 1911. Working with groups and communities, BC Parks will be hosting celebrations and events across the entire province to mark this magnificent and historic event. It will be an exciting year to camp in provincial parks.

2011 also marks a change in the start-up date for the Discover Camping reservation service. BC Parks is changing the opening date for making provincial park campground reservations to March 15^th for all campgrounds and Berg Lake.  The three-month reservation window for making a campsite reservation remains unchanged.

As someone who has used the campground reservation system in the past, BC Parks wanted to inform you directly of this change so that you can adjust your holiday planning for the coming year. This change will result in more timely service and fewer delays in processing reservations for the most popular long weekends in the summer.

Remember to mark your calendars for March 15th the new start-up date for Discover Camping and come camping in provincial parks this summer. You and your family will enjoy all the celebrations and events planned for you by BC Parks.
