Alberta Parks’ new camping reservation platform brings in thousands of reservations in first week

Just 10 days after opening and Alberta Parks’ new camping reservation platform has already reached thousands of reservations.

In total, over 11,500 camping reservations have been processed, with almost 36,000 nights booked.

“We are making it easier for Albertans and visitors from around the world to book top-notch camping experiences in the province,” said Joseph Schow, minister of tourism and sport. “The new reservation platform has proven to make it easier for people to find a campsite that fits their needs to ensure that their experience in Alberta’s world-renowned mountains or rolling prairies is one that leaves them with an everlasting desire to explore our province.”

This new reservation system works for those looking to make large camping reservations months in advance, and those who are looking for spur-of-the-moment visits. With the “Camping this Weekend” feature, campers can now easily search for reservable sights in their area.

You can book a reservation on their new website, or over the phone by calling their call centre at 1-877-537-2757.

The call centre is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Sunday.
