Camping season set to kick off in the county for the May long weekend

Camping will be opening in time for the Victoria Day long weekend, with County of Grande Prairie officials highlighting some of the improvement work done over the off-season. 

Director of Recreation and Culture Christine Rawlins says this work includes  11 powered sites and a new watersport dock with a kayak launch at Bear Lake Campground. The Hommy Campground saw a new playground installed and the Old Bezanson Townsite now has solar lighting at the entry gate and new signage throughout the area.
 
In a statement, Rawlins says, “With several improvements completed over the off-season, visitors will notice some exciting changes at our campgrounds… These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to providing well-maintained, welcoming spaces where people can relax, connect with nature, and enjoy quality time outdoors.”

Campgrounds in the county will officially open as of Thursday, May 15th and those looking for more on booking a spot can find more information here.
