Camping Reservations Now Open In Several BC Parks Campgrounds

Campsites in many BC Parks can be reserved beginning this week to prepare for the 2025 spring camping season.

They can be reserved four months ahead of the desired arrival date. Reservations for the May 2025 long weekend open this week for many BC Parks campgrounds that accept reservations.

This year, 60 new campsites located in three BC Parks are being added to the reservation service - on Vancouver Island, 13 new spots at China Beach Campground in Juan de Fuca.

At China Beach Campground, two accessible showers and flush toilets are being constructed and are scheduled to open in May, along with the 13 new campsites.

Last spring, 33 new campsites were added to the campground as part of $2.7 million in upgrades.

The Province says many campgrounds have several facility upgrades and while reservations will be open for some starting tomorrow, you may have to check back in for other dates.

BC Parks is also working to repair infrastructure in parks that were damaged by recent storms.

Since 2017, more than 2,000 new campsites have been added to BC Parks and recreation sites in regions with the highest demand.

Of the 10,700 campsites BC Parks manages, approximately half are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
