Today, the province announced its Discover Camping reservation service is opening on March 8.
People living in B.C. will have priority access, and reservations for people living outside of the province will be delayed until July 8.
"Our provincial parks have never been as important as they are right now. They provide a special place to safely connect with nature and improve our health and well-being during these difficult times," said Environment Minister George Heyman in a news release on Feb. 24.
"We are all looking forward to another summer of camping and outdoor recreation in B.C., and while public health concerns and advice remain, we are asking people to pick a campground as close to home as possible to avoid long road trips and non-essential travel."Reservations can be made no further than two months out from arrival.
