WINNIPEG, MB. – Tired of the long wait when you call in to get your campground booked? Once again the province is offering staggered opening for campground reservation to help the system operate more efficiently.
Minister Rochelle Squires made the announcement and said, “Manitobans love provincial parks and we’re glad to accommodate their efforts to spend time in the great outdoors this summer.”
To accommodate the expected high demand on the opening day of the parks reservation system, online and call centre services will begin at 7:00 a.m. at http://prs.gov.mb.ca, 204-948-3333 (in Winnipeg) or 1-888-482-2267 (toll-free). Check the website for call centre hours on other days.
The Manitoba Parks Reservation Service will start accepting bookings in three phases:
