Yesterday the Saskatchewan Ministry of Parks, Culture, and Sport launched a new, upgraded online reservation system for the 2019 camping season.

“We've launched our upgraded online campsite reservation system,” said Minh Truong, Director of Parks Experiences. “We've launched it ahead of our actual reservation launches, so people can see the new site, get used to it, create accounts for it, in preparation for the seasonal launch on April 2nd.”

For a smooth booking process, campers can set up their accounts prior to reservations opening. Reservations open April 2 for seasonal sites, April 4 for group camping sites, and April 8 to 18 for nightly sites.

“The online system gives us an opportunity to provide campers with a way to book online without having to walk into our parks, so you can book a campsite ahead of time, but we also do have a call center that people can call in to book a campsite,” added Truong.

Campers can access the reservation site HERE.

While some might call it ‘glamping’, one feature offered in Saskatchewan’s Provincial Parks is ‘Camp Easy’, which could be an appealing option for those who may not be experienced with camping, don’t own all of the necessary equipment, or for those who simply don't want to haul it all with them on the road.

“What we provide in certain Provincial parks is either a camping tent or a yurt, with sleeping cots, dining tables, we provide the gear for people to come, all you have to do is bring your food and bedding and you can get to experience camping in a provincial park without needing to worry about buying or bringing your own equipment,” he explained.
