It’s that time of year when Christmas has barely past and now it’s time to book your summer vacation! Here is where you can reserve Canada Parks campsites in Alberta for 2020!
Canada Parks Campsites in Alberta 2020
First of all, I think it’s important to mention that Whistlers Campground in Jasper will still be closed! The original plan was to be open for the 2020 camping season however that plan has been pushed back. We drove past it when we were camping near Jasper in September and at that time it wasn’t announced that it wouldn’t be open yet, but it was surely obvious that is was still under construction. Once it’s open we can’t wait to camp there again!
Also, if you don’t already have one go and register for an account on the Canada Parks website. You will need this to book a campground as well as a credit card. Create your account here
