CALGARY (660 NEWS) — Has the cold weather got you thinking about camping season?
Online reservations for group camping in Alberta Parks opened Monday, and by 10 a.m. there were already 1,000 bookings.
“We’ll be pretty close to full in terms of the camp offerings by the start of the May long weekend,” explained Tim Chamberlin, spokesperson for Alberta Parks.
Since the online system opened, he said, reservations have nearly doubled compared to the same time last year.
There are about 250 provincial campgrounds with more than 14,000 campsites in the Alberta provincial parks system.
If you’re looking for a new area to try, this year a campsite in the Kananaskis Backcountry has been added.
