The rest of the funding will go towards upgrades to the Rogers Pass Maintenance Compound, which is the headquarters for highway and avalanche operations in Glacier National Park, and new signage in both parks.
The campground in Mount Revelstoke will be easily accessible by vehicle and located close to the Trans Canada Highway.
It is expected to be finished by the end of the 2018 construction season and open to campers by the summer of 2019.
