Campsite Reservation Service Update:

Alberta Parks is developing a new online reservation service to make it easier for visitors to reserve campsites in provincial parks and recreation areas. In future you will be able to phone or go online to reserve your campsite. We hope to pilot online reservations by as early as spring 2009.
