MEDICINE HAT, AB – The wait is almost over for campers to secure their spot at Medicine Hat campgrounds this season.

Online reservations for Gas City Campground and Echo Dale Campground are set to open on Monday, Feb. 6 at 7 a.m.

Echo Dale Campground offers 10 individual campsites located near a boating lake, fishing lake, and swimming area, says the City of Medicine Hat website. There is also a beach volleyball court, playground, and open space for baseball and soccer nearby.

Gas City Campground offers 98 campsites and is located off the Trans-Canada Highway and Seventh Street SW. In 2022, two comfort cabins, each measuring 540 square feet and fully accessible, were added.

Find more information, including a list of events, amenities and site maps, on the city’s website.

The season at both campgrounds will begin on Friday, April 28 and will close Monday, Oct. 9.

Online reservations were to open on Jan. 16 but city staff discovered glitches in the reservation system the day before.
