Quick facts
• The RAP system added seven
campgrounds combining 457 indi-
vidual sites, five comfort camping
units, eight new group camping
areas and 17 backcountry camp-
grounds with 206 (permit) sites
this year.
• Backcountry reservations are
campground-specific only, not
site-specific, meaning people who
book into the campgrounds can se-
lect a vacant site upon arrival.
• Comfort camping units are shel-
ters that come in a variety of styles,
such as a yurt or canvas-wall tent,
and include amenities like beds, ta-
ble and chairs, cookware, utensils
and power.
• Alberta’s RAP system has near-
ly 600,000 account users.
• There are about 250 provin-
cial campgrounds with more than
14,000 campsites in the Alberta
provincial parks system.
• The RAP system allows online
booking for 88 provincial camp-
grounds (the remaining provincial
campgrounds are first come, first
served), 162 group camping areas
and 64 comfort camping units.
• The online system is mo-
bile-friendly, so people can book
campsites on their mobile devices.
• To make an online reservation,
set up an account or update your
existing account in advance of the
reservation days, visit Reserve.Al-
bertaParks.ca.
• Camping in Alberta remains an
affordable family fun option; there
are no new camping-related fee in-
creases in 2019. Alberta Parks last
introduced minor fee increases in
2016.
• Revenue generated from camp-
ing fees is invested back into Al-
berta Parks.

Inquire if having such a

if your home is damaged or
