Camping will be a little different this year with social distancing in effect. Although restrictions are lifting as we enter stage one of relaunch, it’s important to practice government recommendations to ensure the safety of you, your family, and others who wish to get out and enjoy the weekend. 

The Government of Alberta has the following recommendations for campers:

Wash or sanitize hands before and after visiting shared amenities with high-touch surfaces such as playgrounds, bear bins, self-check-in stations, boat launches, docks, water fill stations, and dumping stations. If applicable, use washroom facilities in your recreational vehicle whenever possible to reduce traffic at shared-use facilities. Bring a cloth or sheet to cover the picnic table in your site before using it. Wear sandals or water shoes in showers. Dispose of trash in receptacles provided or take it with you to reduce risk for staff and other users. 

Campsites are being advised to book in advance and keep a record of all those who are visiting. Additionally, there may be fewer sites available to encourage physical distancing so consider booking in advance.
