Manitoba's new camp reservation website is officially open, with the first reservations coming in Monday morning.

At 7 a.m., the reservation site opened up reservations for all cabins, yurts and group use areas (including Hecla and Camp Morton recreation halls).

In previous years, while trying to book a campsite, Manitobans experienced technical issues with the website. The province hopes the launch of the new Parks Reservation Service will allow things to roll smoothly.

Reservations for the 2023 season will take place over six days.  Reservations will open at 7 a.m. each day for the following campsites and facilities:

  • April 5 - Campsite reservations for all western and northern region parks, including Asessippi, Bakers Narrows, Clearwater (Campers Cove and Pioneer Bay), Duck Mountain (Blue Lakes, Childs Lake, Wellman Lake), Manipogo, Paint Lake, Rainbow Beach, Rivers, Spruce Woods (Kiche Manitou), Turtle Mountain (Adam Lake), William Lake and Wekusko Falls;
  • April 11 - Campsite reservations for Birds Hill and Winnipeg Beach;
  • April 12 - Campsite reservations for south Whiteshell, including Caddy Lake, Falcon Beach, Falcon Lakeshore and West Hawk Lake;
  • April 13 - Campsite reservations for Nopiming (Tulabi Falls main campground, Bird Lake, Black Lake, Shoe Lake, Beresford Lake) and north Whiteshell (Big Whiteshell, Brereton Lake, Nutimik Lake, Opapiskaw, Betula Lake and White Lake); and
  • April 14 - All remaining locations, including Camp Morton, Grand Beach, Hecla, Hnausa Beach, Lundar Beach, Moose Lake, St. Malo, Stephenfield and Watchorn.

Otter Falls Campground in Whiteshell Provincial Park, Tulabi Falls walk-in backcountry sites in Nopiming Provincial Park, and Birch Point Provincial Park Campground will not open for reservations, as the campgrounds are under construction for flood-related repairs this spring. Opening dates for these campgrounds are undetermined at this time.
