Alberta Parks has announced that they are changing the way you can book your camping trips. 

"We are pleased to announce that as of February 12 Alberta Parks camping reservations will move to Shop.AlbertaParks.ca," Alberta Parks said in a statement. 

Alberta Parks also stated you will have access to your existing Reserve.AlbertaParks.ca account until February 18 but that information will not transfer over to the new system. 

If you already have a Shop.AlbertaParks.ca account, there is no need to make a new account; but be sure to update your account with any information changes.

Beginning at the start of next week, camping reservations will be open for bookings: 

  • Backcountry Camping begins on February 20 at 9:00 a.m. 
  • Comfort Camping reservations begin on February 22 at 9:00 a.m. 
  • Individual Campsites reservations begin on February 26 at 9:00 a.m. 
  • Group Camping reservations begin on February 28 at 9:00 a.m.

There is a "Camping This Weekend" feature that will present last-minute campsites available to book for the coming weekend.
