General Park Services
The Northwest Territories is known for its extensive system of parks.
Through the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment, the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) operates 34 parks.
Most NWT parks are open, with services provided, from May 15th to September 15th. Several of these parks now offer online booking for their campgrounds and kitchen shelters during the summer season, in addition to reservation by telephone or e-mail; or by selecting an available site upon actual arrival at the gatehouse.
Our NWT Road and Campground Guide provides useful information about routes, highway and park services, points of interest, and more!
NWT parks are divided into four different categories: Heritage Parks, Natural Environment Parks, Recreational Parks and Wayside Parks.
Parks indicated to have a campground in the following list offer camping, many with online booking services available at Camping NWT.
