Parks Canada is opening camping reservations this month

The 2024 camping season is still a few months away but Parks Canada is opening up reservations months earlier than previous years.

In late November, it was announced that reservations for this year’s camping season will be opening as early as Jan. 19.

If you are looking to secure a spot at a national park, be sure to mark your calendar.
