Campground Reservation Service
Frontcountry camping, Waterton Lakes National Park of Canada
© Parcs Canada
Parks Canada is proud to offer a campground reservation service in 19 national parks across Canada. With this service, campers are provided with peace of mind by being able to reserve a campsite in advance of their arrival at the campground of their choice. Visitors can plan their camping experience with confidence and look forward to breathtaking scenery, outstanding recreational opportunities and exciting learning experiences.
To continue meeting the needs of campers who prefer not to reserve in advance, quality campsites will still be available in several national park campgrounds on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you would like more information, please call the Parks Canada national information line at 1-888-773-8888.
The reservation service is available at www.pccamping.ca or 1-877-RESERVE (1-877-737-3783).
Here are the operating dates for the reservation service for the 2011 season.
