Campers Encouraged to Apply Now for Seasonal Campsites

Despite the chilly winter weather still clutching Saskatchewan in its grip, the Government of Saskatchewan is already preparing for the rush of campsite bookings for 2018.

“Saskatchewan’s provincial parks offer outdoor fun and relaxation,” said Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Gene Makowsky in a press release. “These provincial treasures contribute to the enviable quality of life we enjoy while preserving that same gift for future generations.”

Along with releasing the dates of their staggered bookings, the government as also opened up bids for seasonal sites, deadline Thursday, February 1. The highly popular seasonal sites are in such high demand that they will be chosen via a lottery system, but the campers who hanker after those sites don’t mind gambling a little on their 2018 location. Successful applicants will be notified by phone or email.
