It's never too early to start planning for an unforgettable summer. Saskatchewan Provincial Parks is opening their online reservations at 7 a.m. on April 7 for seasonal campsites and April 8 to 15 for nightly campsites, Camp-Easy yurts, group campsites, day use facilities and swimming lessons.
"Camping is a wonderful option for people who want an affordable summer vacation and to enjoy time in nature," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Alana Ross said. "As camping grows in popularity, our provincial parks are ready to meet the demand with more campsites, new events and expanded programming."
Two Camp-Easy yurts have been added to Rowan's Ravine Provincial Park this season. Additionally, a total of 63 seasonal sites have been added across Buffalo Pound, Candle Lake, Crooked Lake, Great Blue Heron, Makwa and Meadow Lake Provincial Parks.
It's encouraged to create a log-in for the Sask Park reservation website ahead of time, so you can quickly identify your favourite campsites and start planning your trip ahead of reservation launch day.
The website has a queue system in place, requiring you to refresh the page at 7 a.m. CST to be placed in the queue or pushed through to make a reservation on launch days.
Annual, weekly and daily entry permits are available for purchase online or in the park. A full list of fees is available on the Sask Parks reservation website.
