For those who like the great outdoors and are getting excited about venturing into Manitoba’s provincial parks this summer, the province has announced they will be accepting campground reservations beginning April 4, 2022.
“Manitoba is home to 92 provincial parks, where every year Manitobans and visitors come to enjoy the spectacular beauty our province has to offer,” said Environment, Climate and Parks Minister Jeff Wharton.
The minister noted that the province has begun implementing a new reservation system but that it won’t be in place until 2023. This year they have made a number of changes to help improve the booking experience this year.
Bookings for campgrounds, cabins, yurts and group-use have been split into five different days as follows:
- April 4 at 7 a.m. for all cabins, yurts and group-use areas;
- April 6 at 7 a.m. for campsite reservations at Birds Hill, Falcon Beach, Falcon Lakeshore and West Hawk Lake;
- April 8 at 7 a.m. for campsite reservations at all western and northern region parks (Asessippi, Bakers Narrows, Clearwater Lake, Duck Mountain, Manipogo, Paint Lake, Rainbow Beach, Rivers, Spruce Woods, Turtle Mountain, William Lake and Wekusko Falls);
- April 11 at 7 a.m. for campsite reservations at Grand Beach, Nopiming and all remaining Whiteshell campgrounds (Caddy Lake, Big Whiteshell, Brereton Lake, Nutimik Lake, Opapiskaw, Otter Falls, Betula Lake and White Lake); and
- April 13 at 7 a.m. for all remaining locations (Birch Point, Camp Morton, Hecla, Hnausa Beach, Lundar Beach, Moose Lake, St. Malo, Stephenfield, Watchorn and Winnipeg Beach).
The province say that they have also implemented some policy changes that limit stays in cabins and yurts to seven nights and a maximum of two reservation on opening day.
It is expected that even though the province has added some additional resources to the online booking system this year users may still experience system delays or wait times.
