Online Booking Strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is limited supply of campgrounds and some of the popular campsites will be booked quickly. To maximize your chance of getting a Parks Canada campsite, we recommend the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Check the campsite(s) that you plan to reserve and the date that they will be operating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Go to https:\/\/reservation.pc.gc.ca\/login<\/a> and Create An Account (if you don’t have one) or Login (if you do have one) to ensure that you are able to make the reservation the day of. It’s important to do this before the day that reservations open so that you can go right to booking your campsite.\n
