Campers are almost one step closer to experiencing the great outdoors.
As part of the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan, provincial park campsite reservations will begin tomorrow, May 4. Camping will begin as of June 1.
Campgrounds will open to 50 per cent capacity. This means that only every other campsite will be available for reservation.
Campsites in provincial parks will only be open to Saskatchewan residents starting June 1, until further notice.
Please note that recreational facilities, including swimming pools, beaches, picnic areas and playgrounds will be closed. There will also be limited access to washrooms and no access to shower and laundry facilities. Be sure to plan accordingly.
Firewood and water will be safely provided to campers.
Reservations are currently closed for group camping, Camp-Easy, double sites and swimming lessons until further notice. For campers interested in a seasonal site, the fees will be pro-rated starting June 1.
Reservations for campsites will open at 7 a.m. on select scheduled dates, with the queue opening at 6:40 a.m.
The schedule is as follows:
- Monday, May 4: Seasonal campsites across provincial parks
- Wednesday, May 6: Pike Lake, The Battlefords, Narrow Hills, Blackstrap
- Thursday, May 7: Bronson Forest, Meadow Lake, Makwa Lake, Lac La Ronge
- Friday, May 8: Saskatchewan Landing, Douglas, Danielson
- Monday, May 11: Buffalo Pound, Rowan’s Ravine, Echo Valley, Crooked Lake
- Tuesday, May 12: Cypress Hills
- Wednesday, May 13: Duck Mountain, Good Spirit Lake, Greenwater Lake
- Thursday, May 14: Candle Lake, Great Blue Heron, Moose Mountain
Keep in mind that non-essential travel to northern Saskatchewan — specifically within the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District (NSAD) — is currently prohibited. If you make a reservation and the travel restriction is still in effect, you may not be able to travel to the park. Campers should hold off on making reservations in provincial parks that fall within the NSAD, which includes Lac La Ronge and Narrow Hills, until the travel restriction has been removed.
Seasonal and nightly campsites can be reserved through the online system or through the call centre at 1-855-737-7275. Customers are encouraged to purchase their annual park entry permits online when making their campsite reservation to limit in-person contact.
