Camping Fees Set to Increase Around the Province

The province has announced that some camping fees in B.C. will be increasing as of March 15th, 2016.

According to the ministry of environment, the fee increase is needed to help maintain high service levels and provide new recreational opportunities at provincial parks. The change will affect approximately half of the provincial parks where fees are charged for various forms of camping.

The majority of affected parks will see only a $1 or $2 per night increase. In some parks, fees will be decreased or eliminated altogether. For example, several camping and backcountry sites in the Kootenay region, such as at Arrow Lakes Provincial Park, will no longer have fees. Select group camping sites will see a $1 to $2 per party increase.

An additional $410, 000 is expected to be generated this year for B.C.'s protected areas systems. All of the revenue from increased fees will be put back into operating and maintaining the parks system.
