Reason for refund

Please select one grounds for a refund that best applies(Required)

Death in immediate family. Documentation required. BC Parks requires the ‘reservation holder’ to make every attempt to cancel their reservation. A death certificate and/or obituary notice that clearly demonstrates the deceased’s relationship with the ‘Reservation holder’ must be submitted for BC Parks to review the request. The date on the documentation provided must coincide with the arrival date or cancellation date. For the ‘Berg Lake Trail’, ‘Bowron Lake canoe circuit’ and ‘Group camping’ reservations, BC Parks reserves the right to determine the amount of people this refund can be applied to, and will generally not offer a full refund for ‘Group sites’ or group departures.
*Definition of immediate family: a parent, spouse, child, grandchild, grandparent, brother, sister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and any other relative permanently residing in the same household. Unfortunately, friends, distant relatives, and pets are not considered immediate family members.
Incorrect charges. Occasionally, the reservation system experiences technical problems which may result in incorrect charges. Refunds will be considered for customers who are incorrectly charged. The refund will only apply on the difference between an incorrect charge and the correct amount owing, and will not apply to any perceived inconveniences or additional requests for discounts.
Medical. Documentation required. Applications for medical refunds require a doctor’s note or proof that a member of your camping party was seriously injured, had an acute mental health crisis, or was admitted to hospital. Dates on the medical note or documents must coincide with the arrival or cancellation date to support the request. The ‘Reservation holder’ must still try to cancel the reservation if possible. Medical notes for the ‘Bowron Lake canoe circuit’ or the Berg Lake trail will only apply to a maximum of two (2) people (the person directly affected by the medical emergency and possibly one other person travelling with them).
Park conditions that prevent access or cause evacuations. Refunds will be considered if customers are unable to enter/approach a park because of emergencies such as road closures, natural disasters or if an evacuation is ordered. In such cases, it is a visitor's responsibility to have checked the park web pages for updates and follow any available reroutes or accommodations first, before requesting a refund.
Poor air quality. Poor air quality will be considered an acceptable ground for refunds if all the following criteria are met: The customer cancelled their reservation; The cancellation occurred within 7 days of the arrival or cancellation date; Air quality levels are a 7 or higher on the BC Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) at the station closest to the park on date of cancellation.
Serious motor vehicle accident. Documentation required. If the reservation holder or a member of the camping party is involved in a serious motor vehicle accident that prevents them from honouring their reservation, a refund will be considered. An accident report, dated near the customer’s arrival or cancellation date is required to support the request for a refund.
