It really does sound like the only aspects of camping that are on offer this year are the worst aspects of camping.

Last year was like that too. Fully booked, but more than half the campsites were empty.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Don’t they cancel reservations if no one shows up the first night?
They're supposed to, who knows if they really do. There's no real way to tell unless someone from Parks Alberta is driving around marking the empty spots and then cancelling the reservations.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I think they rarely cancel the reservation for no-shows even though they are supposed to. Maybe at the few campgrounds that had a mandatory check-in procedure like Little Bow or Crimson Lake.

They do, but its at 2:00 pm the next day. So whos going to bank on going out on a saturday and stumble into having a site for a standard weekend?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I believe it's 2PM the next day that if you haven't checked in for your day prior then they cancel your reservation....it's outlined somewhere but vaguely recall reading about it earlier this yearThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

He is CKC registered , he's also more dog than our friends/family can handle, so we can't just go enjoy a weekend in a nice hotel because we have no one to watch him.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
He's tethered us down more than our kid.
Not that it matters. If someone with a weekend reservation doesn't show up Friday night, it's not like many people are going to take the spot.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

We were at Lundbreck this weekend and the Parks staff were going around doing checks periodically. Not sure exactly what they were checking though. We weren't sure where to drop off the park copy of the permit and when we asked them, they just told us to toss it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I find they're always around, who knows what the hell they're doing.
Can we break 10k in queue? 9200 in queue right now (all of AB has 9000 reservable sites...). hilarious

See Crank. See Crank Walk. Walk Crank Walk.
Can someone ELI5 why there's such a big line? Was more sites released or why all of a sudden now?
May long weekend coming up, and all these new RV owners itching to go out. Also I suspect...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Parks panicked last week cause their site kept crashing, so they implemented a 'queue-it', but said queue gives ~30 minutes per person before it kicks you out (10 minutes to get in, 20 to work in it). Suspect they have a dismally small number of people allowed in at a time. Worse, this queue is for all parks reservation systems. You want to look at what sites are available in 100 days? have to queue. Print your reservation? Queue. Cancel reservation cause the weather is shit? queue..This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I printed my may long reservation last night at 11:30. Waited under 1min, easy peasy
Less than 1 minute wait right now, and a small number of sites available for the weekend if you don't mind a bit of a drive. Mid-day is the wrong move I guess.
