British Columbians have made more than 6,000 camping reservations for the Victoria Day long weekend representing an approximate 13 per cent increase over the same period last year, Environment Minister Terry Lake said May 15.
Overall, reservations in BC Parks are up six per cent this year (38,775 reservations) compared with 2011 (36, 563 reservations) and it’s not too late to book a campsite for the long weekend. Sites with substantial remaining reservable campsites are Gladstone, Green Lake, Red Bluff, Strathcona, Wells Gray and Wasa Lake provincial parks.

The most popular parks are Haynes Point, Bear Creek, Rathtrevor Beach and Okanagan Lake South. If you want to visit a park but there is no reservable space left, check out the first-come, first-served availability tool on the Discover Camping website.
