All across the prairie provinces, the camping season is expected to be a busy season so we recommend that you get you camping plans in place early and get online early at Saskatchewan Campground Reservations

With the Canada 150 initiative, National Parks will be free to enter, so many vcation plans will revolve around camping, which should make Saskatchewan parks busy as well.

With the flip of the calendar to 2017, the online booking system for Alberta’s Provincial parks will soon be accepting reservations for 2017.  The official date for making your first bookings at an Alberta Provincial Park is February 21.

With the bug push behind “Canada 150″ going on, many campers are making early reservations for their favorite camping spots in both National and Provincial parks.  reservations in Canada’s National Parks can be made by going to the Parks Canada reservation site.

We recommend taking a look at our user submitter ratings and reviews of Alberta Campgrounds and Provincial Parks.

Then jump on the Alberta Parks reservation system.

Sask Parks has rolled out a new campsite reservation system.   For the last couple of years they have suffered significant failures and many complaints by campers who were frustrated with the system.  Reports had listed a number of areas of frustration, such as not being able to access the site, no confirmation of reservations, and multiple bookings of the same site for the same date.

The new reservation system has been rolled out in stages, with a few more Provincial Park campgrounds coming online in intervals.

Early reports have been positive.  I’ve heard comments from others that the new system seems to be working better.  I will say, that the true test will come on opening weekend when campers arrive to claim their sites.  If we don’t have to stack the trailers on top of each other and other sites are empty, then we can assume they got it right this time around.

Pack your RV and keep your fingers crossed!
