Have you played the campground-booking Hunger Games? We want to hear from you

Camping is a summer way-of-life in Canada. But over the past decade, reserving a spot in a public campground has turned into a well-known Hunger Games competition.

Entire sites are fully booked within fractions of a second. Reservation-hoarding sometimes allows users to work around first-come first-serve rules. Bot-booking conspiracies abound. And if you do get a spot and get to camp, you might notice a lot of sites looking suspiciously empty in what, online, shows as a fully-booked campground.

But some parks are making changes, trying to make reservation systems better and fairer for everyone. Is it working? We want to hear from you.

Tell us your tales of campground-booking woes and successes. And, if you’re feeling generous, share your hacks.
