Hey there, time traveller!

Mark your calendars, campers.
Reservations for Manitoba provincial park campgrounds will open for five days from April 7 to 11, Environment and Climate Change Minister Mike Moyes announced Friday.
“Spring is here and Manitobans are looking forward to spending quality time in nature,” Moyes said in a press release. “This year, as Canadians are choosing to explore closer to home, Manitoba’s provincial parks offer incredible destinations for adventure, relaxation and discovery.”
As part of Budget 2025, the Manitoba government announced that entry into provincial parks would be free for one year.
To accommodate high demand, reservations will once again open in stages over five days to make it easier to secure a spot at your favourite provincial park campgrounds.
Before opening day, users are encouraged to check their online accounts, update passwords and review reservation rules. The Parks Reservation Service also offers campsite photos and descriptions to help campers choose the perfect spot.
The Parks Reservation Service will start taking reservations at 7 a.m. each day online at manitobaparks.com and by phone at 204-948-3333 (in Winnipeg) or 1-888-482-2267 (toll-free) on the dates listed below:
• April 7 — reservations open for all cabins, yurts and group-use areas.
• April 8 — reservations open for campsites at Birds Hill, Winnipeg Beach and Grand Beach campgrounds.
• April 9 — reservations open for campsites in all campgrounds in Whiteshell Provincial Park, including Betula Lake, Big Whiteshell Lake, Brereton Lake, Caddy Lake, Falcon Beach, Falcon Lakeshore, Nutimik Lake, Opapiskaw, Otter Falls, West Hawk Lake and White Lake.
• April 10 — reservations open for campsites in all northern and western campgrounds, including Asessippi, Bakers Narrows, Clearwater Lake (Campers Cove and Pioneer Bay), Duck Mountain (Blue Lakes, Childs Lake and Wellman Lake), Manipogo, Rainbow Beach, Rivers, Paint Lake, Spruce Woods (Kiche Manitou), Turtle Mountain (Adam Lake), Wekusko Falls and William Lake.
• April 11 — reservations open for campsites in all remaining campground locations, including Birch Point, Camp Morton, Hecla (Gull Harbour), Hnausa Beach, Lundar Beach, Moose Lake, Nopiming (Beresford Lake, Bird Lake, Black Lake, Shoe Lake and Tulabi Falls), St. Malo, Stephenfield and Watchorn.
On opening days, online users will enter a virtual waiting room before 7 a.m. Depending on traffic, users may be placed in a queue to ensure a smooth booking process.
Walk-in reservations and in-person payment arrangements can also be made at 1181 Portage Ave. in Winnipeg and will be available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. beginning April 7 for the parks and facilities described above.
