The provincial government is using an online survey to help gauge feedback on park user fees.

The Alberta government says it will upgrade facilities in the province's west-central backcountry where increased use has left behind garbage, damaged sites and human waste.

Alberta’s environment minister sent out more enforcement on August long weekend to clamp down on campers' bad behaviour he says has been worse this year.

A vast section of Alberta backcountry once considered for a park is being overused by tens of thousands of campers who cut trees, strew garbage and trespass, says a provincial advisory committee.

Alberta Parks is warning that an increase in food and garbage left behind in parks throughout the province lately is creating a dangerous situation for both humans and wildlife.

Starting July 14, launch times to book group campsites will be staggered by region.

It’s the first Victoria Day long weekend since the COVID-19 pandemic and Alberta campgrounds are now operating under different rules.

The Alberta government said nearly 32,000 individual campsite reservations were processed in a four-hour period on May 14.

There won't be the usual parade of vehicles headed out camping this May long weekend.

Alberta Parks announced on Friday it was suspending camping reservations until mid-May amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
