B.C. Parks Limiting Camping To B.C. Residents

As B.C. Parks begins to reopen their park system on May 25th, 2020 (at  7:00 am P.T.), and the will be limiting who can reserve a campsite to residents of British Columbia…

For this camping season, we will be operating with a 2-month rolling booking window. This means that when the system opens on May 25, visitors will be able to book reservations for arrival dates up to July 25. On May 26, July 26 arrivals will be available, and so on.

We’re urging people to have staycations. We’re discouraging non-essential travel and other provinces are doing the same thing. We are concerned about small communities being overwhelmed,
— George Heyman, Environment Minister

The province on B.C. is recommending that out-of-province campers who have already booked a site, to cancel before June 15th. Reservations made by non-residents after the system reopens on May 25th may be subject to immediate cancellation.
