BC Parks Reservation System
Obviously this isn't working. What do other provinces/States do that does work? http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/bc-campers-face-a-sold-out-summer-as-p...

The state of Oregon used to have a similar problem. They allow you to reserve for 14 days. The new system requires you to pay for the entire reservation time up front. Then if the reservation is for 5 or more days, a cancellation of dates (other than total cancellation of the reservation) gets *NO* refund. That stopped most of the people booking major weekends 14 days in advance and then cancelling the 11 or so days they never intended to use.
Does that include the camping fee also? If so, then that sounds like a solution. When it hits the pocket book, people generally smarten up! But at the same time, it could catch some innocents with a costly cancellation due to breakdowns or whatever. I would prefer first come, first serve, if it is used the way it is meant to be. When we are travelling, we don't always know where we will be on a certain date (preferable).
