Provincial park campground reservations are set to open over five days from Apr. 7 to 11.
And Environment and Climate Change Minister Mike Moyes is encouraging Manitobans to take advantage of all that the protected areas have to offer.
“Spring is here and Manitobans are looking forward to spending quality time in nature,” Moyes said.
“This year, as Canadians are choosing to explore closer to home, Manitoba’s provincial parks offer incredible destinations for adventure, relaxation and discovery. Last week, our government was pleased to announce in Budget 2025 we are making parks entry free for one year.”
To accommodate high demand, reservations will once again open in stages over five days to make it easier to secure a spot at favourite provincial park campgrounds. Before opening day, users are encouraged to check their online accounts, update passwords and review reservation rules. The Parks Reservation Service also offers campsite photos and descriptions to help campers choose the perfect spot.
The Parks Reservation Service will start taking reservations at 7 a.m. each day online at www.manitobaparks.com and by phone at 204-948-3333 or toll-free at 1-888-482-2267 on:
