Parks Canada Campground Reservation Dates for Alberta
Mark your calendars and prepare for camping early! Here are the Parks Canada Campground Reservation Dates for Alberta for 2023!
Camping season may feel far away, but when it comes to planning and making reservations, you’re going to want to get started. Beginning March 23, 2023, campsite reservations for Alberta will be available for the entire season on the Parks Canada website. The popular campsites are almost impossible to get into if you are thinking about planning a last minute summer trip, so it is important to start planning early.
Important things to NOTE for 2023:
Parks Canada is moving their reservation system to a NEW platform which means you’ll need to do things a little differently this year:
- By February 26, you must log in to your existing account and take note of the campsites you may have reserved in the past, because you will no longer have access to this data after that date.
- The reservation system will NOT be available from February 27 to March 2 as the migration to the new platform takes place.
- Create your NEW ACCOUNT as of March 3 to get acquainted with the new system.
