B.C. Parks to Raise Camping Fees in 2026

The cost of camping in British Columbia’s provincial parks is increasing this year, particularly for out-of-province campers who will incur a new $20 per trip fee. This fee hike, effective June 15, is attributed to record park usage and the need for maintenance amid rising natural threats. Additionally, fees at 59 high-use frontcountry parks will rise from $5 to $51 per party, per night, while backcountry camping fees will increase from $5 to $25 per person at select parks. Cabin rental fees at Garibaldi and Mount Assiniboine will also see increases.
