Reservations for campgrounds, yurts, cabins and group-use areas at Manitoba’s provincial parks will begin to open on April 4, Environment, Climate and Parks Minister Jeff Wharton announced Monday.
In a series of staggered launch dates, reservations for all cabins, yurts and group-use areas will open on April 4 at 7 a.m.
Then, on April 6 at 7 a.m., campsite reservations will open at Birds Hill, Falcon Beach, Falcon Lakeshore and West Hawk Lake.
April 7 at 7 a.m. is the date people in Westman will be waiting for when campsite reservations at all western and northern parks like Asessippi, Duck Mountain and Spruce Woods will open.
On April 11, reservations open for campsite stays at Grand Beach, Nopiming and all remaining campgrounds in Whiteshell.
Finally, on April 13, reservations open for all remaining locations.
To increase access to yurts and cabins, the maximum stay has been reduced from 14 nights to seven and cabins, yurts and day-use areas will be restricted to two reservations per session instead of three.
After challenges with the booking system in past years, the province said short-term improvements have been made, though users may still experience wait times or delays.
Online bookings can be accessed at prspub.gov.mb.ca, while phone users can call 204-948-3333 in Winnipeg or toll-free at 1-888-482-2267.
“Manitoba is home to 92 provincial parks, where every year Manitobans and visitors come to enjoy the spectacular beauty our province has to offer,” Wharton said in a release.
“Our government understands that having easily accessible operations of the parks reservation service is part of the experience, and we have implemented short-term changes to help improve this year’s bookings. We want to thank visitors for their patience as we work diligently on implementing a new reservation system for future seasons.”
