Blanket Creek PP BC reservations ??

Blanket Creek British Columbia reservations

I spent about an hour searching online and could not find an answer so I will contact you at RV.net which I know will have an answer.

I would like to camp at Blanket Creek Provincial Park in mid-June 2021. I understand that some sites may be reserved. However, I could not find a date in which BC parks reservation system is open to make reservations for June 2021.

I found where the national Park system would only start taking reservations in April 2021 but I could not find any information about British Columbia Park system.
  • you can make reservationd 4 months in advnce for normal camp sites and 1 year in advance for group sites in BC parks

    I could not find SnowFlower CG on the web. Do you have a link or is it listed under a different name. What park is it in?
  • I agree with "soup" I always stay at Blanket Creek. You could consider the new Snowflower campground or Martha Creek. But the problem is the same, nobody seems to be able to predict what will happen in 2021.

  • Usually it is three months before your reservation, and reservations for “most” campgrounds don’t open until the 3rd weekend in May. So reservations “usually” opened in mid March.
    However:
    With COVID everything changed in 2020.
    First all the campgrounds and parks were closed. Then they opened parts of some parks and then some campgrounds slowly in June.
    Reservations were only available for BC residents the entire 2020 season, if I recall it went to a 2 month rolling reservation date. Also you were only permitted to spend 1 week per campground through the reservation system for the 2020 season. First come first serve sites were available to non residents, and they were full all summer.
    Last summer was the busiest camping season I have ever seen in my 50+ years of camping.
    So..
    With the ongoing COVID numbers everywhere in the world, travel restrictions looking like they will be in place until well into 2021, who knows when the reservations system will open and if the restrictions will change in 2021.
    Best is to call the 1-800 number and ask the BC Parks people.
