If you usually spend your January dreaming of camping and locking in your summer reservations, you will now be waiting for a few more months.

Parks Canada has pushed the opening of reservation dates from January to April for locations in May 2021 to March 2022. The switch is to give users more time to consider COVID-19 restrictions and to hopefully cut down on the number of cancelations that happened in 2020.

The most popular locations in Alberta, like Tunnel Mountain and Lake Louise, will open on April 12, 2021, at 8 am.

If you are looking to head out for an adventure in the first third of 2021, reservations are currently open for up to March 2021, and locations for April 2021 open on December 16, 2020.
