Online campsite reservations for Sask. Parks begins April 13

Mar 31, 2026 | 11:24 AM

Residents eager to secure a summer getaway in Saskatchewan’s provincial parks can begin booking campsites starting April 13.

The provincial government has released its 2026 reservation schedule, with seasonal campsites opening first, followed by nightly and specialty accommodations throughout the week.

“Our parks provide places to explore, unwind and create lifelong memories,” said Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Alana Ross. “As another summer approaches, we look forward to welcoming visitors back to experience unique trails, family programming, exciting events and nights around the campfire.”

Reservations open daily at 7 a.m. through the provincial booking system at Sask Parks. Visitors are advised to log in ahead of time, as a virtual queue will be in place. Users must refresh the page at 7 a.m. to enter the system.

The staggered schedule includes popular destinations such as Candle Lake, Meadow Lake Provincial Park, Buffalo Pound Provincial Park and Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park:

Campers are encouraged to prepare in advance by creating or updating their online accounts, researching campsite options and planning their trips before reservations open.

Entry permits can be purchased online or upon arrival at provincial parks. More information on fees, booking details and planning tools is available through the Sask Parks website.
