    It’s basically a way to take advantage of 90 days out + 14 day booking rule. Say you want something 100-104 days out. Those spots would be open if you start the booking 90 days out and book for 14 days which covers days 100-104. Then when it gets a bit closer, adjust your booking that was originally 14 days and from day 90-104 and now make it start at day 100. You get a refund and just pay a small fee for changing.

    At least that’s my understanding of it.
    That is "overbooking" not "sliding".

    Well shit. I stand corrected then


    Anyways, anyone still looking for those chairs, they are online right now in a 2 pack. Go go go @Buster

    I tried them out in my living room and they are amazing. I was planning on getting those muskoka chairs for around my fire pit but I’m thinking I’ll just use these instead.

    Maybe the fee for changes just needs to be higher, than the sliders can at least fund more camping shit.
    Fee for each change is min $20? or first change per account each year is free, then $20?

    Probably can't prevent it, so at least make it fund something useful.
    $50/change would make it sting a little

    It needs to be high enough to stop poor people from doing it at a minimum. Then anyone who still chooses to do it is at least funding something. I suggest an endowment for parks improvements, or deposited into the Heritage fund.

    I've got some ideas for simple changes to the heritage fund too . . . .

    When this happens your time on the site is done. You'll have to refresh and you'll end up back in the queue.

    I stopped caring and started drinking. I have plenty of days booked. I will worry about upgrades later.

    Managed to get bow valley, bow river, and chain lakes all on weekends. No trailer yet though.

    Back from our first trip out. You can definitely tell there's a lot of noobs out there. Instead of the usual one or two late night car horn blips, there were alarms going off all over the place. Also a person who didn't seem to know how to use a circuit breaker (on the sites plug). And loads of dogs roaming free, which is always a great idea in rattlesnake country.

    I look forward to tenting with the multiple car alarms going off.

    Its only the beginning of the season. I expect it to get much much worse. I also think the RV related traffic accident stats are going to sky rocket too.

    Went to Brewers Campground on Gull Lake over the weekend, nice campsite, have another weekend booked there later this summer and happy to go back. All sites are non-powered so there were quite a few folks running generators but most were respectful. 1 year old trailer battery shit the bed so we were without heat the first night but other than that and some exceptionally awful fuel mileage it was a great weekend.

    Website is sure slower, even once you do get inside. And crashes regularly now as well. Good Jorb Team!

    The main site was clearly contracted out, these changes are being done in-house and whoever they hired to do it are incompetent.

    There are very, very few good SPA developers in Alberta so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

    Have you tried calling the 1800 number? It just hangs up on you

    I need to cancel a site as a couple cant make it for this weekend but its impossible right now.

    Spot next to us was empty all weekend. Maybe because of this, or maybe because people are generally assholes who won't cancel a restaurant reservation, let alone a camp site.

    It was the weirdest thing though. All the massive sites for 40 foot trailers, and Class A types were filled with Subarus and tents, and the smallest sites meant for tents and tent trailers had 30'ers on them.

    I would be completely forgoing the rest of camping season if it weren't for our dog.
