Campers in Saskatchewan can now start to plan their holidays.
On Tuesday, Sask Parks announced reservations for the 2023 camping season will be accepted April 3 for seasonal campsites and April 4 to 12 for nightly, Camp-Easy and group campsites.
On April 3, reservations will be accepted for all parks participating in the seasonal camping program. As for nightly, Camp-Easy and group campsites, the schedule is:
April 4: Candle Lake, Good Spirit Lake, Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan Landing;
April 6: Douglas, Echo Valley, Makwa Lake, Narrow Hills, Pike Lake;
April 10: Danielson, Great Blue Heron, Greenwater Lake, Rowan’s Ravine, The Battlefords;
April 11: Buffalo Pound, Bronson Forest, Duck Mountain, Moose Mountain; and
April 12: Blackstrap, Crooked Lake, Cypress Hills, Lac La Ronge.
Reservations are to begin at 7 a.m. each day.
Park entry fees are increasing slightly in 2023, which the government said is “in response to the growing number of park services provided year-round and in accordance with Provincial Sales Tax.”
Annual vehicle entry fees will be $82 (a $7 increase), weekly vehicle entry fees are to be $42 (a $2 increase), and daily vehicle entry fees will be $11 (a $1 increase).
The cost for Camp-Easy sites will increase from $80 to $85 per night, and the Mongolian Yurt at Great Blue Heron will increase from $110 to $116 per night. Some swimming entry and equipment rentals will also see a slight increase.
A new feature on the reservation system this year is a notification feature that will allow campers to sign up to get an alert if a specific campsite becomes available.
There are 37 new seasonal sites available this year: Two full-service in Good Spirit Lake; eight electric in Buffalo Pound; a mix of 18 electric and non-electric in Makwa Lake; a mix of four electric and full-service at Meadow Lake; and five electric at Moose Mountain.
New Camp-Easy yurts have been added at Pike Lake, Good Spirit Lake and Greenwater Lake, with a new yurt replacing the old Camp-Easy tent in Crooked Lake.
