Reservations for BC Parks campsites in 2026 are now open. The big change for the 2026 season is that reservations can only be made 3-months in advance (previously, it was 4-months).
This 3-month rolling reservation system will mean that if you want to arrive on June 1, 2026 to a BC Parks Campsite, then you can book your reservation starting March 1, 2026 at 7am PT.
The long weekends in British Columbia are some of the most popular camping weekends in Provincial Parks. If you are planning to camp at one of the many popular campsites on the long weekends, mark the following reservation open dates for their respective long weekends in your calendar. Make sure to be online and ready to make the reservation at 7am as the popular campsites will fill up within minutes.
Victoria Day Long Weekend (May)
Saturday, May 16 – Monday, May 18, 2026
BC Parks Reservations Open: February 15, 2026 at 7am PST (for the Friday night in May)
Canada Day Long Weekend (July)
Canada Day falls on a Wednesday, July 1st and, therefore does not fall near a weekend.
BC Parks Reservations Open: April 1, 2026 at 7am PST (for the Wednesday of Canada Day)
Note: If you plan to arrive at a campsite before Canada Day (before July 1st), you will need to make your reservation in late-March 3-months before, depending on your arrive date.
BC Day Long Weekend (August)
Saturday, August 1 – Monday, August 4, 2026
BC Parks Reservations Open: April 30, 2026 at 7am PST (for the Friday night before BC Day)
Labour Day Long Weekend (September)
Saturday, September 5 – Monday, September 7, 2026

Plan ahead and book early as many of the campsites will fill up fast during the spring and summer seasons.
