Manitoba is set to launch a new parks reservation service for the 2023 camping season.
More than 100,000 reservations are made at 46 campgrounds in provincial parks each year.
“Provincial parks are treasured by Manitobans and we want to provide a positive experience when guests book a spot at a provincial campground,” said Nesbitt. “We are excited to provide Manitobans with an enhanced park reservation experience to plan for enjoyment of our beautiful summers and make great camping memories,” said Natural Resources and Northern Development Minister Greg Nesbitt.
The province says that reservation policies and parameters are expected to remain the same in 2023 with staggered campground booking opening days. Campers should be aware that a new account to access the new reservation system is required and should be created prior to booking dates to save time. The system will be available for new account creation on March 27, 2023.
On opening days reservations can still be accepted by phone at (204) 948-3333 in Winnipeg and 1-888-482-2267.
For 2023 the schedule for booking is:
- April 3 – All cabins, yurts and group use areas (including Hecla and Camp Morton recreation halls);
- April 5 – Campsite reservations for all western and northern region parks including Asessippi, Bakers Narrows, Clearwater (Campers Cove and Pioneer Bay), Duck Mountain (Blue Lakes, Childs Lake, Wellman Lake), Manipogo, Paint Lake, Rainbow Beach, Rivers, Spruce Woods (Kiche Manitou), Turtle Mountain (Adam Lake), William Lake and Wekusko Falls;
