VICTORIA—The province is reminding British Columbians that most provincial campgrounds and recreation sites open on June 1, along with more parks, for day-use. And the province is ensuring that reservations for campgrounds are only being made by B.C. residents.
In order to ensure that British Columbians have access to camping opportunities close to home, during the the summer, the province is reserving new camping reservations for B.C. residents only. The public is able to reserve a site two months in advance of their arrival date, instead of four—a temporary measure to spread out the demand during the summer.
“Camping provides the ideal opportunity to connect safely with family and friends in BC Parks beauty.”—George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy
“We want to ensure British Columbians have access to summer vacation opportunities close to home, so we are limiting new reservations to B.C. residents. Our plan is to safely open as many parks as possible so that B.C. campers and day visitors can rediscover the wilderness beauty close to home,” added Heyman.
