    Number of users in line ahead of you: 54111
    Your estimated wait time is: more than an hour

    I wonder if the longest wait time their system can specify is more than an hour. Surely they could narrow that down.

    No, that's all it shows. I honestly don't need a spot badly today. Tomorrow when Yoho and Kootenay open up I have some interest in a spot, but I may be changing my summer plans anyway. Kind of hate the fact you have to book so far ahead to have any chance.

    I got on at exactly 8:00 and had already 17,800 in front of me. been on 2hrs 15 minutes and still have 6200 ahead of me. It sucks, I think the RV rental companies have something to do with this??

    There are a few companies that do resell campsites, it's not just the RV rental companies. Tour operators out of Europe (and locally) do as a package too.

    BIL was able to book me a site praise jeebus

    I actually don't hate the randomized setup, the slow process of most likely only allowing bookings once others timeout or are completed sucks though.

    ~40,000+ folks in queue for all of Canada doesn't seem too crazy in the grand scheme I suppose

    Almost the entire cliff side of Green Point in Tofino is rental RV's filled with Europeans every year. Pretty sure someone gets a nice kickback for ensuring they have first dibs.

    I camped there as a kid every year. My brother has been trying to get one of those spots for five years. It's just not possible. Breaks my heart, and I do understand how important tourism is to our economy, but fucking hell, there should be some way a citizen can camp there eventually.

    I don't need access to premium sites every weekend every year, but some kind of system where I get priority evey couple of years, or for certain weekends, or something . . . Not that I trust any level of government to handle that well. Fuck I'm grumpy about camping right now.

    To hunt European tourists? I mean, that's not what I meant but I am game. Sounds sporting.

    I mean they do it for fishing in northern bc. Non-canadian residents just arent allowed to fish a bunch of the skeena river area on sat-sun, giving Canadians (and moreso, BCers) preference.
    We really should have some level of at least canadian priority, if not resident priority for bookings.

    Even just a mix. 50% reserved for international tourists, 50% Canadian.

    So I was in a call with some lawyers at the time, but the parks canada website informed me my turn arrived at 3:09pm. Yeah, that's a nice 6 hour wait.

    Yep. I was in at 8am, and got my spots at 2:10pm

    Booked two separate trips to Two Jack Main. Of course lakeside was lonnnnng gone. I'm actually going to have to go on a scouting mission because the only spots left were "21' and under", so I may not even fit, depending on the site angles.
