ShareIn a departure from the 2023 camping season, where reservations kicked off on March 12 due to the agency transitioning to a new reservations platform, Parks Canada is now allowing eager campers to secure their 2024 reservations months earlier, starting as early as January.
The move is set to benefit those planning to explore iconic camping locations, such as Banff and Jasper National Park, which will open their reservation systems at the end of January. This advanced booking opportunity provides outdoor enthusiasts with an extended timeframe to plan and secure their preferred dates for a camping experience amidst the breathtaking landscapes these parks offer.
British Columbia's stunning natural sites are also part of this early reservation initiative. Yoho National Park camping sites will be up for grabs from January 23, while Glacier National Park and Mount Revelstoke National Park will open for booking on January 19. This early access to reservations is sure to be welcomed by those eager to explore the diverse and awe-inspiring landscapes that Western Canada has to offer.
