Campsite reservations have opened for sites at Bird's Hill Park, and will open for all other campgrounds on April 4th at 7:00 a.m.

Elizabeth Ostrop is the manager of recreation and education services for Manitoba parks. She says weekends tend to fill up quickly but most campgrounds have some sites available for walk ups.

Ostrop adds there are a few new additions for camping this year including several yurts and modern washroom and shower facilities at various campgrounds.

As far as seasonal camping, ostrop says there are a few sites still available.

She adds, everyone is encouraged to visit a park, noting even if you can't stay overnight there are many events happening for day trips.
