BC PARKS CAMPING FEES GET INFLATION ADJUSTMENT

The Ministry of Environment will introduce an inflation-based increase to camping fees in most provincial parks on April 1 for the 2008 camping season. Camping fees will increase by $1 per night for rustic and basic sites, and by $2 per night for moderate and developed sites. Backcountry and parking fees will not change.

Fee revenues will be reinvested in the BC Parks system to maintain and repair facilities, and to improve services.

This is the first increase in camping fees since 2003 and it matches the general rate of inflation, which has gone up about two per cent per year over the past five years.
