Canadian Campers - Public Campground Booking Struggles

🏕️ Tell me your campground booking stories! 🏔️ If you've tried reserving a public campground in the past 5+ years, you know the frustration: entire campgrounds booked in a split second; reservation-hoarding to skirt rolling first-come first-served rules; bot-booking conspiracies; and if you do make it and show up to camp, inexplicably empty spots in what shows as a fully booked campground online. I'm writing a story on it and want to hear from you. Specifically looking for: 1. For someone who's been trying unsuccessfully to book a particular campground over and over -- could be somewhere you used to go with family or friends or just somewhere you've always wanted to visit. 2. Someone who actually managed to snatch a coveted spot -- tell us how you did it! Can be anywhere in Canada where booking public campgrounds is a well-known issue (provincial and federal parks alike).
