Province makes campsite reservations easier
NANAIMO – Changes are coming to the reservation system for provincial campgrounds.
The changes are part of an annual system review aimed at improving fair access to people wanting to book campsite spots. Over the past five years, demand for reservations through the Discover Camping website has grown 91 per cent.
Environment minister Mary Polak says the biggest change to the system is eliminating the one day scramble for available spots to a four month rolling system.
“We’re doing that in the hopes of reducing the chances that you have all of these sites booked up on that first opening day with a big backlog of people trying to get through,” said Polak.
