If you didn't get a chance to go camping this summer fear not.

More than 250 provincial campgrounds will remain open over the next month.

Online campground reservations surpassed previous totals for the eighth straight year.

The province had 158,890 bookings as of Aug. 30, an increase of more than five per cent from the previous year.

Provincial campgrounds around Alberta close on different dates, with most closing in early to mid-October.

Of the 259 campgrounds open into October, 82 will remain open until at least Oct. 31, with 37 provincial campgrounds available year-round.
