Reservations for Nova Scotia Parks

The countdown is on for the 2024 camping season! Provincial parks will open for campsite bookings over a three-day period.

Starting at 8:40 am April 3, 4, and 5th a virtual waiting room will be used on the reservation website. With the expected high demand for campsites, it is encourage that you plan for several dates and campsite options. Almost 50% of the season’s campsite bookings are completed during the April reservations launch days. Once a park opens for reservations in April, campsite bookings can be made throughout the season.

Many camping parks are scheduled to open Victoria Day weekend with the remaining opening in early June. A list of which parks you can book each day can be found here.

It is recommend that you log into your account before April 3rd to confirm that your username and password are correct.
