Parks Canada has expanded its new Campground Reservation Service to include
18 national parks across Canada.
The Campground Reservation Service was implemented on a pilot basis in March 2004 in Forillon, Gros Morne, Bruce Peninsula, Cape Breton Highlands, Kouchibouguac, Riding Mountain, Prince Albert and Jasper national parks of Canada. Following the successful testing period, the service has now been expanded to include Terra Nova, Prince Edward Island, Kojimkujik, Fundy, La Mauricie, Elk Island, Banff, Kootenay, Waterton Lakes and Pacific Rim national parks of Canada.
The new service will replace and enhance the individual campground reservation services that were previously offered by some national parks, and will provide campers with the ability to make reservations in multiple campgrounds through one toll-free phone call or website visit. The use of the reservation system is voluntary and was introduced for the convenience of visitors who wish to plan their trip in advance. A number of camping sites will also be available on a first-come first-served basis.
Campers can now reserve a campsite by visiting the internet at www.pccamping.ca or by dialing 1-877-737-3783 (1-877-RESERVE), a toll-free number to a call centre (in operation 12 hours a day), which also offers a TTY number: 1-866-787-6221.
Visitors to Canada's
system of national parks will continue to enjoy breathtaking scenery,
outstanding wildlife viewing opportunities, exciting learning experiences
and quality visitor services at a very reasonable cost, but with the added
advantage of being able to reserve a campsite that meets their needs in
advance of their visit.
