Roll out your sleeping bags and pack the marshmallows. The unofficial kick off to summer camping season in Manitoba looks to be a good one.

May long weekend has been marked by rainy cold weather in the past, but this weekend's forecast is looking a little sunnier.

With temperatures expected to be in the high 20s and showers only creeping in on Monday, the weekend looks promising for campers.

The province says campsites are still available and campers can check the availability of their preferred site online.

So far campsite bookings are at 29 per cent, which shows a nine per cent increase over last year's bookings in the days leading up to the long weekend. Last May, several campers cancelled their campsite reservations after rain and cold weather kept them indoors.

There are currently no provincial burn bans in place for the weekend, however municipalities may have their own burning restrictions in place and people are encouraged to check with their local municipality.

Fires will be allowed inside approved fire pits within provincial parks, but if conditions change campers will be notified.

Provincial parks also have a ban on alcohol over the long weekend so campers are reminded to leave the boozy drinks at home.

The Mantario hiking trail remains closed due to the wildfires in the area.
