The number of Manitobans trying to book campground reservations this morning was much higher than the opening-day registration numbers one year ago.
Today — Monday, April 5th — was the first day of staggered campground bookings opening up in the province.
A post from Manitoba Parks on Facebook says by 7 a.m., the number of people signing on was 12,825 compared to 2,804 in 2020.
By 11 a.m. on Monday, Manitoba Parks had taken 10,668 reservations. In comparison, last year at the same time, they had taken 5,706 reservations.
During the online rush for site reservations on Monday morning, a technical issue was encountered but the parks authority says that was resolved quickly and processing returned to normal.
The next reservation launch is on Wednesday at 7 a.m. for Winnipeg Beach and Whiteshell campsites.
Online reservations can be made here.
