The countdown to camping season is now on.
Bookings will begin to open for provincial parks in Nova Scotia early next month.
They will be spread over three days, starting April 5th, to help cut down on web traffic as the province expects high demand for its 20 campgrounds.
“For those who love spending time in the great outdoors, Nova Scotia’s provincial parks are the perfect places for families and friends to come together to make memories that will last a lifetime,” says Natural Resources Minister Tory Rushton in a news release.
The schedule for when the campgrounds will allow you to start booking has been posted online.
Reservations open on the following dates:
- Tuesday, April 5th: Blomidon, Ellenwood Lake, Rissers Beach, The Islands, Thomas Raddall, Valleyview
- Wednesday, April 6th: Amherst Shore, Cape Chignecto, Dollar Lake, Five Islands, Laurie, Porters Lake, Smileys
- Thursday, April 7th: Battery, Boylston, Caribou-Munroes Island, Graves Island, Mira River, Salsman, Whycocomagh
Most day-use and camping parks are set to open Victoria Day weekend in May with others opening in June.
The province reports last year was record-breaking for camping at Nova Scotia provincial parks, with more than 91,000 campsite nights booked.
Campsites can be reserved online or you can call 1-888-544-3434.
