Federal parks, trails & camping
Choose a specific reviewed route below. Requirements depend on the service and location; these guides link to the current instructions from the issuing authority.
Find parks, trails and camping in Canada
Start with the park’s operator: Parks Canada for federal destinations, the province or territory for its parks, and the municipality for neighbourhood parks. Finding a park, buying admission and reserving a campsite are different tasks.

Parks Canada offers a Discovery Pass for participating destinations and other location-specific admission options. Admission does not reserve a campsite or cover separately charged camping and services. Provincial and city parks use their own arrangements.
