Québec City, Jan. 29, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - It's time to start planning for summer – and dreaming about it too! As of Saturday, February 7 and Sunday, February 8, outdoor enthusiasts can book their camping stay in a national park for the upcoming season. And among the choices there is Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie, which will re-open its doors on June 22, after being closed for a year.
So as to offer better service, the Sépaq has designed its booking launch schedule to include various time slots. The schedule below provides the exact time for the opening of bookings for the national park of one's choice. Starting at these times, bookings can be made online (sepaq.com) or by telephone (1-800-665-6527), while on-site bookings can be made as of February 9 only.
Please note, this booking schedule does not apply to the Sépaq's wildlife reserves or tourist resorts, where campsites can already be booked right now.

Camping in Québec's national parks
Camping in Québec's national park network means choosing from among over 4,000 tent and RV campsites spread across protected territories, where beautiful landscapes are graced with the presence of fjords, meanders, rivers, lakes, valleys and mountains. It also means a vast array of outdoor activities; on land and on the water, there will be discovery activities, with enthusiastic national park employees always ready to lend a hand. With such variety to choose from, the annual Parcs Québec Network Card is the best bet for making national parks the vacation destination of all Quebecers since it provides access to all 24 national parks in the network for an entire year and offers a series of exclusive advantages as well.
