Reservations for Cypress Hills are available April 21. Reservations begin for Duck Mountain, Good Spirit Lake, Greenwater Lake and Porcupine Hills are available on April 22.

Candle Lake, Great Blue Heron and Moose Mountain reservations are available on April 23.

All reservations begin at 7 a.m. each morning.

Reservations can be made on the SaskParks website on the province’s new booking platform that features “camping this weekend” for those who can’t get a reservation in advance.

“A lot of people think we’re full every single day and if they don’t reserve that campsite right at the launch time, they won’t get one and that’s not actually true,” said Robin Campese, Saskatchewan Parks’ executive director of visitor experiences.

“At a glance, this will show you all the campsites available across the province, which is really exciting.”

Those hoping to get a reservation are encouraged to create an account in advance and to watch the provided tutorials.
