Making a reservation 

• Camping reservations are required for Magog Lake and Og Lake campgrounds year round
• Anyone over 16 years of age can make a camping reservation via camping.bcparks.ca 
• Reservations can also be made by calling 1-800-689-9025 toll free from Canada and the US or 1-519-858-6161 internationally
• A reservation can be booked in full up to four months before your desired arrival date
• You can make your reservation starting at 7am Pacific Time on the first day of this booking period

Example: If you want to arrive on July 25 and stay four nights, you can reserve all four nights starting at 7am PT on March 25

• You can make a reservation up until 5pm Pacific Time on your scheduled arrival date, if places are available

Example: If you want to arrive on July 25 and stay for four nights, you can book all four nights up until 5pm on July 25

• Reservations cannot be transferred or sold to another party, and any attempt to do so will lead to cancellation, without refund
• You cannot self-register or make a reservation at the park and cash payments are not accepted at the park
• When booking your reservation, you must specify the ‘named occupant’ who will be your official reservation holder
• This named occupant can be yourself or another person, but they must be present when your party arrives and throughout your stay

If the named occupant cannot be present throughout your stay, your reservation must be rebooked with an occupant who can be present. The named occupant may be asked to show ID during your stay to keep your reservation valid.

Camping party sizes and rules

• Camping within the Magog Lake and Og Lake campgrounds is allowed only on designated tents pads

For more information on relevant reservation policies, see the backcountry camping reservations page.

All fees must be paid in full when you make your reservation. There are two types of fees:

• Camping fees, which pay for your campsite and other amenities
• Transaction fees, which help us maintain the reservation service

Tax is included in camping fees, but tax is added to transaction fees. If you change or cancel your reservation, there will be additional charges (see changes and cancellations, below).

For more information on camping fees and transaction fees, see the camping fees page.

• You can change or cancel your reservation via camping.bcparks.ca or by calling 1-800-689-9025 (1-519-858-6161 internationally)
• There is a $6 transaction fee per tent pad for any cancellations or changes to your reservation 
• If you cancel your reservation, eligible camping fees will be refunded (subject to our cancellation policies) 
• If you cancel within seven days of your scheduled arrival date, one night’s camping fee will be deducted from your refund
• If you cancel on your scheduled arrival date, two nights’ camping fees will be deducted from your refund
• Transaction fees, including change and cancellation fees, cannot be refunded

For more information on getting a refund, see the cancellations and refunds page. For full details of our cancellation and refund policies, download the reservation services policies and terms [PDF].

• Making a reservation guarantees you a spot but the reservation service does not assign you a specific tent pad
• You select your tent pad or pads when you arrive at the campground, on a first come, first served basis
• Check-in is after 1pm on your arrival date and check-out is before noon on your departure date
• Bring two copies of your confirmation email with you; keep one with you at all times and fix the other to your tent or campsite post
• Your reservation is held until noon the day following your scheduled arrival, after which it must be cancelled without refund
