Here is when reservations will open for Manitoba’s campsites

Birds Hill Provincial Park

Manitobans are encouraged to plan ahead and get ready for camping season as the province’s new park reservation launching next week.

Campers are reminded that the existing system will be available until March 24 at 4 p.m., with the new parks reservation service launching on March 27.

According to the Manitoba government, account information will not be transferred from the old to the new system, so all users will have to create a new account. Campers are advised to browse the new system and get familiar with it before the opening days of reservations.

For the 2023 camping season, reservations will take place over six days in April.

The following is the reservation schedule. The reservations will open at 7 a.m. each day:
