2020 Camping thread

[ExtraSlow]

18-36 L/100km is my lifetime range. 26-ish is what I expect these days. Drive slower on the highway and that'll help a lot. I get better fuel economy through the mountains in BC than in the flatlands of rhe prairies because I drive ~15 km/h slower.

Im usually around 20-22 L/100km,

Been a couple times with some nasty wind with worse economy. Truck and trailer stats are in the other thread. Pretty similair trailer to yours based on your picture.

Here are my fill ups from the last two years, pretty easy to see when I was towing.

Hope you guys booked backups in Alberta

From discover camping in BC:

“ Preferential access to camping will be given to BC-residents for the 2020 camping season. Non-BC residents with existing reservations are asked to contact the call centre before June 15 to cancel and receive a full refund. New reservations made after May 25th found to be made by non-BC residents will be subject to immediate cancellation without refund.”

I had just assumed as much, since AB Parks isn't letting OOP reservations.

This seems unconstitutional to me. I think I have just as much of right to be in BC as I do Alberta.

[killramos]

Unconstitutional?

We have a right to province run camp sites now?

Must have missed that section of the charter.

[ExtraSlow]

I was surprised that wasn't announced from the start. Dissapointed, but I'll live.

AFAIK we have the right to not be discriminated against due to the province where we live yes.

Why weren't you complaining a few weeks ago when AB restricted bookings to non-Albertans?

[dirtsniffer]

Cause I didn't know about it?

To add, I also said Quebec shouldn't be able to stop people from coming over from Ottawa, and that NB shouldn't be stopping people from coming in through Quebec.

I read one story where a guy was moving from Toronto to live with family after he was laid off, and NB made him fly back to Toronto after he landed at the airport.

Double edit.

First charter challenge

There's a lot of policies currently in place that infringe on our normal rights. This one is not particularly egregious IMO.

Interesting story from CBC on Parks Canada issues

My question is, why do we allow re-booking agents for fucking public camp sites? wow..

Ridiculous right. This is why its almost impossible to get into Greenpoint on Vancouver Island. When you do actually manage to get in, when you're there, it's almost entirely rental RV's and European tourists who bought packages from these companies. The park rangers know it's a problem, but say PC management doesn't give a shit, so long as the spots are paid for.

[ExtraSlow]

Well, overseas tourists do bring a lot of money into the economy. What's next, hotels for locals only?

Because tourists. Those RV rental businesses are big $ for federal and provincial governments.

0 belief those "contracted" people aren't running scripts to bypass the front end...

Overseas tourists can book their own sites if they want to come over here. If provincial parks have a non-transferrable rule, why can't Parks Canada?

ding ding.. and I feel that Parks Canada should be preferential to Canadians first..

[ExtraSlow]

Hah, yeah, good luck enforcing that. Provincial campsites are often transferred.
