Some fee increases are coming in 2019 for people visiting Saskatchewan provincial parks.
Annual park entry permits are increasing to $75, and weekly permits to $40. The three-day entry permit will no longer be available. A one-day entry permit remains unchanged at $10.
Also on the rise are costs for full service and electrical sites, which are going up $2/night.
Seasonal campers will also be paying more in 2019, with an electrical seasonal site going up to $2,600, non-electrical to $1,400, and economy to $1,100.
The province also said Monday there will be a $5 nightly discount for electric, non-electric, and economy sites during the spring season.
