Seasonal campsites are available at several locations within the provincial parks system.  Choose a park below to be your summer getaway location, knowing you only have to set up once at the beginning of the season. 

The seasonal camping program runs from May to September.  Transfer to an alternate site may be required after the Labour Day weekend as campground service may be reduced at that time; check with the park of your choice.

You can access 2008 general conditions and contact information for the park of your choice at the bottom of this page.  The number and type of sites offered at each location varies.
