Camping for the long weekend in May in Golden Ears Provincial Park opened up on Wednesday, Jan. 17.
For those who are organized, campsites can be booked four months ahead of time at provincial parks.
A Notify Me feature was added to the reservation system last year which BC Parks will have in use this year as well.
The feature lets people know when a previously booked campsite becomes available at a specific campground.
People are allowed to create up to five different availability notifications for any dates for reservable campgrounds.

If a campsite becomes available for a desired date and location, people will receive a notification email that the site can be reserved.
In 2023, more than 366,000 camping reservations were made, a 15 per cent increase from 2022.
The reservation service relaunched in March 2022 as part of broader redesign of BC Parks’ digital services to improve the park experience.
