Park entry fees are increasing slightly in 2023, which the government said is “in response to the growing number of park services provided year-round and in accordance with Provincial Sales Tax.”

Annual vehicle entry fees will be $82 (a $7 increase), weekly vehicle entry fees are to be $42 (a $2 increase), and daily vehicle entry fees will be $11 (a $1 increase).

The cost for Camp-Easy sites will increase from $80 to $85 per night, and the Mongolian Yurt at Great Blue Heron will increase from $110 to $116 per night. Some swimming entry and equipment rentals will also see a slight increase.

A new feature on the reservation system this year is a notification feature that will allow campers to sign up to get an alert if a specific campsite becomes available.

There are 37 new seasonal sites available this year: Two full-service in Good Spirit Lake; eight electric in Buffalo Pound; a mix of 18 electric and non-electric in Makwa Lake; a mix of four electric and full-service at Meadow Lake; and five electric at Moose Mountain.

New Camp-Easy yurts have been added at Pike Lake, Good Spirit Lake and Greenwater Lake, with a new yurt replacing the old Camp-Easy tent in Crooked Lake.
