Changes for County campground fees
County of Grande Prairie Council has approved some changes to camping fees.
The cost for group bookings at all campgrounds except Pipestone will be lowered.
“We just wanted to encourage group bookings at some of the sites where perhaps there isn’t a designated group area,” said Parks and Recreation Manager Christine Rawlins. “So, if someone were to book multiple sites, then there would be a progressive discount for five to 20 per cent, depending on the site they would be reserving on behalf of other friends or family members.”
Rawlins says because costs for things like maintenance and firewood are going up, the fee for a single overnight camping spot will go up by a dollar.
