BC residents can get a head start on their summer plans as many campsites in provincial parks are open for booking.
In the Prince George-Vanderhoof area this includes Crooked River Provincial Park, Paarens Beach Park, Purden Lake, Whiskers Point and Mount Robson.
Reservations for backcountry camping along the 23-kilometre Berg Lake Trail in Mount Robson Park near Valemount will be announced at a later date due to repairs and the eventual opening of the last phase of the trail that was damaged by extreme weather in 2021.
Another significant storm in September damaged a section of the newly rebuilt trail.
Campsites can be reserved four months ahead of the desired arrival date.
Reservations for the May long weekend open this week for many BC Parks campgrounds that accept reservations.
Since 2017, more than 2,000 new campsites have been added to BC Parks and recreation sites in regions with the highest demand.
