Campers who want to get a site at River Park, along the Souris River within the Weyburn city limits, will now be able to book their sites online. The new system launched on Tuesday. 

“The new booking system called Explor was put in place to help streamline, make it more efficient for campers to book a campsite anytime, any place as long as they have access to the internet,” explained City of Weyburn Parks Manager Curtis Block. The new system replaces the old method of booking ahead of time by phone.  

The system provides information on campsite availability, the rules and regulations for the campground, the cancellation policy, photos of many of the campsites and of course, allows for the booking of a campsite.  

The reception for the system has been good since it launched on Tuesday. According to Block, campers from as far away as Utah and Florida have used the site to book camping trips for the coming year.  

River Park opens for the summer camping season on May 19th.
