Reservations for Canada's national parks launch in January
Most of Canada might be in the middle of a deep freeze as the new year approaches but it’s not too early to start prepping for warmer days ahead. Parks Canada will begin taking reservations for campsites starting the first week of January and continuing over staggered dates throughout the month.
While admission to Parks Canada was offered for free in 2017 in celebration if Canada’s sesquicentennial, the 2018 season will see admission fees for adults and seniors return to the same rates as they were in 2016. Admission for youth under 17 years will be discounted at all locations and offered for free with family bookings beginning in 2018.
