Registration for campsites in Manitoba has officially begun, and outdoor enthusiasts are eager to secure their spots for the upcoming camping season.
The Manitoba Parks Reservation System opened on Monday, allowing campers to book their desired campsites for the summer months. This year, the reservation system has been expanded to include more provincial parks, providing even more options for campers.
According to the Manitoba government, there are over 3,600 campsites available for reservation at 15 provincial parks. This includes popular destinations such as Birds Hill, Grand Beach, and Whiteshell.
Camping has become increasingly popular during the pandemic, as it allows for a safe and socially distanced vacation option. As a result, the demand for campsites is expected to be high this year.
To ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all campers, the reservation system operates on a first-come, first-served basis. This means that those who are able to secure their reservations early will have a better chance of getting their desired campsites.
In addition to traditional campsites, Manitoba Parks also offers a variety of unique camping experiences, such as yurts, cabins, and group use areas. These options provide a more comfortable and convenient camping experience for those who may not have their own camping equipment.
For those who are new to camping or looking for a different experience, Manitoba Parks also offers Learn to Camp programs. These programs provide hands-on instruction and guidance for beginners, making it easier for them to enjoy the great outdoors.
It is important to note that due to the ongoing pandemic, there may be some changes and restrictions in place at provincial parks. Campers are advised to check the Manitoba Parks website for updates and guidelines before heading out on their camping trip.
With the warm weather approaching and the desire to get outside and explore, the opening of campsite reservations is a welcome announcement for many Manitobans. So, if you’re planning on camping this summer, be sure to secure your spot early and get ready for a memorable outdoor adventure.
