It will be a quiet weekend at Alberta campground this Victoria Day Long Weekend with provincial campgrounds being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But campers will get a chance to start reserving sites starting May 14. The camping reservations relaunch starts on Thursday for arrivals starting June 1 at select campgrounds.
Launch times on May 14 will be staggered by region. Group and comfort camping won’t be available this season because of safety concerns and the province is warning campers to be ready to be as self-sufficient as possible.
According to the Alberta Parks website, outhouse facilities will be open “when feasible” but outdoor enthusiasts are being warned to bring hand sanitizer and toilet paper. [ Sign up for our Health
