Sask Parks will be launching their new reservation system for the 2021 camping season. The new system will be an improvement over the previous system and will have new features and options.
The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport’s contract for the reservation system provider was up for renewal in 2020. Requests for Proposals were issued and the new service provider is Aspira, the largest campsite reservation system provider in North America with 30 years of experience. Unfortunately, you can’t access your reservation history as the old system is no longer available.
There will be further announcements in the new year including features, options, and the launch date.
