The Yukon government will test an online campground reservation system for booking campsites starting next year, according to the Yukon News.
An information note, prepared on March 1 for Environment Minister Nils Clarke and obtained by the News under access-to-information laws, indicates the two-year pilot project is planned for the summer of 2024 and 2025.
In a phone interview on Aug. 17, communications analyst Jake Wilson confirmed the plan to roll out the pilot is on track. However, he had few specific details regarding how it will work, the number of sites that will be open for reservation and which campgrounds will be involved.
“We’ve identified a successful contractor to help develop the online system,” Wilson said. Information about the contractor was not available by press deadline. Most Yukoners were in favor of testing a campground reservation system in the territory.”
