Provincial park campsite reservations will begin in April, not in March like usual.

On Wednesday, the provincial government said that the annual reservation launch has been pushed back to April 11 to avoid conflict with the April 4th provincial election.

The reservations will be staggered over a 10-day period, with April 12th the first day available to book a site at either Buffalo Pound, Douglas or Danielson provincial parks.

And just a remember that Thursday, January 28th is the last day to get in the seasonal campsite lottery. The draws will be made next Monday.
