Advice from health officials for British Columbians to spend their summer vacations in the province could boost demand for B.C.’s already strained campgrounds.
The province will reopen a number of campgrounds starting June 1, and is reactivating its Discover Camping online booking system on May 25. “We know that for many British Columbians who may have been considering vacationing outside the province, that’s unlikely to happen this year,” said Environment Minister George Heyman.
Heyman says most people who have already made reservations should be able to keep them. However, he acknowledged that in order to maintain physical distancing, some campsites may be pulled from service; anyone who has reserved at one of these sites will be notified
