    First-Come First-Served (FCFS) Camping

    You can find a park on this searchable map.

    Most First-Come, First-Served campgrounds are by self-registration. This means there is no staffed registration booth to register you when you arrive.  To register at a self-registration first-come, first served campground follow these steps:

    1. Upon arrival, choose a vacant campsite and register within 30 minutes after selecting site. The self registration kiosk will be located near the entrance of the camping loop.
      • You must have an accommodation unit on the site for it to be considered occupied.
      • Day-of First-Come First-Served sites paid for online prior to arriving at the campground and occupying a campsite are subject to lose their camping fees without a refund.  *You must be occupying the site to ensure that is available.
    2. Fill out a self-registration envelope with the site number where you are camping, your name, license plate number and how many nights you are staying/paying for and insert exact fee.
      • To calculate your camping fee, multiply the number of camping nights x campground fee that is shown in the instructions at the registration kiosk. There is no additional tax to calculate.
      • Pay with CASH or a personal cheque made out to Government of Alberta, or the name of the campground operator as posted with the instructions at the kiosk.
    3. Detach and retain receipt from registration fee envelope. Deposit envelope into fee slot.
    4. Display receipt on campsite number post.

    Please Note: A confirmed reservation is non-transferrable to First-Come, First-Served campsites.
