Ranging from walk-in tent sites to marine sites, 13 provincial parks will have 362 new sites and 12 recreation sites will have 232 new sites.
The new BC Parks campsites are located in regions with the highest demand , including the Thompson-Okanagan.
"People from all over the world come to our province to experience the spectacular natural beauty and enjoy a range of camping opportunities," said George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. "Camping is more popular than ever, which is why our government continues to increase the number of campsites and enhance visitor experience."
The sites are in addition to 431 new campsites created in 2018, bringing the total number of new campsites to 1,025 during the past two years.
For the third year in a row, there will be no increase to camping fees in provincial parks.
