Full schedule of reservation dates for Sask. provincial parks

As camping season creeps closer and closer, the Saskatchewan government is releasing more details, and are reminding everybody that in just four days, you can begin reserving your campsites.

“With a variety of activities available and an abundance of beautiful landscapes and lakes to explore, it’s no surprise our provincial parks continue to be popular travel destinations,” Parks, Culture and Sports Minister Gene Makowsky said.

“Whether you prefer adventure or relaxation, there’s so much to see, learn and discover.  We look forward to welcoming guests back to our parks for another memorable season.”

On Monday, April 9, campers can begin reserving nightly campsites at Blackstrap Provincial Park and Pike Lake Provincial Park.

To help provide the best user experience during the reservation launch, the launch dates will be staggered for all provincial parks. By staggering the launch dates, SaskParks is able to manage the high demand on the system and can ensure faster checkout times.
