WEST KELOWNA–Even though the May long weekend is a damp one, campers are still out in droves.
Bear Creek Provincial Park in West Kelowna is over capacity, with some campers even staying in the parking lot.
“It’s the busiest spring we have on record so far, hands down,” says park manager Patrick Lacey.
Campers say it’s hard to reserve a spot at a provincial park, even with the online reservation site.
“We found out there was a site cancelling, so we were online, just go, go, go, and finally we got it,” says Doug Adams, who’s staying at the park.
“I’m having fun playing at the park, I’ve made friends,” says Adams’ son Greg. “Sometimes my brother and I play catch in the field, so I’m happy I got booked here.”
While the forecast calls for rain every day of the long weekend, most campers don’t seem to mind.
“No,” says Steve Heer. “It’s May long weekend, we know it’s going to rain so we just set up a tarp.”
“We’re Canadian,” says Misha Willson.
“I’m just glad it’s not going to snow.“
