LETHBRIDGE, AB – It’s time to start planning for camping season in Alberta.

The province opened a new online campsite reservation portal Tuesday morning.

It allows residents to book regular sites only up to 90 days in advance year-round, and comfort and group sites 180 days in advance.

Michael Roycroft with Alberta Parks Kananaskis says there has been an increased demand for camping and the new rolling approach should ease pressure on the system.

Reservations can be made at reserve.albertaparks.ca.

Equipment/People Permitted on a Campsite

• The maximum number of motor vehicles, tents, recreational vehicles, and trailers permitted on a campsite is three, of which only two may be used as sleeping quarters. EXCEPTION – when two tents are used as sleeping quarters, two motor vehicles may be permitted.
• The camping fee applies to each accommodation unit on a campsite. EXCEPTION – if the second accommodation unit is a tent and there is only one motor vehicle registered to the site, there is no additional charge for the tent.
• A campsite must be large enough to accommodate the maximum number of allowable units. Depending on a campsite’s design and dimensions, a campground manager may decide that only one camping accommodation unit may be assigned to that campsite. Call the campground direct to find out if a second unit will be permitted upon check-in.
• No more than six people may occupy a campsite unless they are all members of the same family unit.
• Download the Regulations in Alberta’s Provincial Parks & Recreation Areas pamphlet.

Alberta Parks says before booking and heading out to the campsite, read up on the rules for your stay.
