Thousands of Manitobans started confirming their summer camping plans this morning.

Today was opening day for reservations to be made for cabins, yurts and group use areas. According to the province, there were 7,392 users logged on at 7 am. A provincial spokesperson says the queue functioned well and by 7:42 am, users no longer had to wait in line.

As of 11:30 am, more than 5,800 reservations have been made.

Reservation confirmations will be emailed within the next 24 hours. If you do not receive an email, confirmations can be viewed from your account.

While over 90 per cent of available nights for cabins and yurts have been reserved, there remains some mid-week availability and single nights on weekends. The following tool can be used to help find available nights:
