Do I have to attend the site selection draw?

The Winnipeg held draws are done by an advance computerized draw. If you are successful in this draw, you or your representative must be present at the site selection process or you will forfeit your seasonal camping fee. If another person is representing you at the site selection process, he/she must present a written and signed authorization letter from you stating he/she is at the draw on your behal.

Can I submit multiple applications?

Only one application per family shall be permitted. For the purpose of application, the term ”family” is generally defined as parent(s) and their children under the age of 18 years.

What if I am unsuccessful at a draw?

If you are unsuccessful, you must choose one of the following two options: the "Standby List" or "Withdraw".

Standby List (for sites that are vacated throughout the season)

If you were unsuccessful at the advance computerized draw process because the campground was oversubscribed, you will automatically be placed on the Standby List for that campground in your draw order. People on this list will be contacted on a priority basis if any campsites become available later in the season. Applicants on the Standby List will be issued a full refund following the draws. There is no obligation to accept sites that may become available.

Withdraw

If you are unsuccessful at a draw, you may simply withdraw and a full refund will be issued at a later date.

When will I receive my refund?

 Refunds will be issued once all draw records are reconciled. This process is expected to be completed by mid March.

NOTE: ALL REFUNDS ARE ISSUED BY CHEQUE.
