Changes to the reservation system
Parks Canada announced that they would be migrating to a new reservation system for the 2023 season. Here is what you need to know.
Important dates
February 26 – Last day to login to your old Parks Canada account to view your past reservations! Make sure you login and write down any favourite campsites that you may want to re-visit!
I for one made sure to go and write down the campsite number with this view! 
February 27-March 2 – Reservation system is completely down as the migration to the new system occurs.
March 3 – You will be able to create an account on the new system
March 13 – First reservations for Summer 2023 Launch!
