SASKATCHEWAN PROVINCIAL PARKS RESERVATION SITE BEATS 2012 RECORD

Released on March 12, 2013

The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport announced today that the staggered spring launch for camping reservations has set a record during the first week.

In 2012, the online reservation system saw 13,500 campsites booked on opening day, with 15,014 in the first week.  By creating staggered release dates, the website traffic was spread out through the week, giving more campers the opportunity to book a site.  This resulted in 19,436 bookings over the week which was a 29.5 per cent increase over last year.

“We know people are passionate about camping in Saskatchewan provincial parks,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty said.  “We continue to work on improving our service and making our parks available to as many people as possible.”

To ensure this year’s launch was smooth, Saskatchewan Provincial Parks staff returned calls, replied to emails and posted inquiries on Facebook to troubleshoot any difficulties some campers may have experienced.  The online reservation system was the most popular option as campers were able to make reservations from their computer or using the mobile site from any smart device, desktop or laptop computer.  For those campers who preferred to call to make reservations, they did so through the call centre at 1-855-737-7275.

The reservation system https://saskparks.goingtocamp.com/ will remain open until the September long weekend.

Government has invested $33 million to improve Saskatchewan’s provincial parks from 2008 to 2012.  Government is continuing to improve Saskatchewan’s provincial parks by investing, over and above base capital funding, an additional $10 million for park upgrades from 2012 to 2016.
