I haven't been looking forward to this part. Camping sucked during covid because the campgrounds were too busy with us all staying in Canada and going camping. Hopefully people take the opportunity to go to Europe or Asia this year!

Yes, we need to expand provincial park campgrounds to catch up with population growth. It’s a crime that in such a big, mostly forested province, people can’t easily get a couple hundred square feet of grass to pitch a tent for a weekend.

Oh don't get me started. In BC they "expanded" the number of campgrounds by converting existing non-provincial-park campgrounds (forestry service campgrounds) to be under the provincial park system. They jacked up the prices (some were free before) and added no services. Total bullshit.

You guys keep stealing shitty ideas from the US. We’ve been privatizing state park reservations for years and making it cost as much as a cheap hotel in some places.

And the bathrooms are worse than when you shoved $5 a night into a metal tube by the entrance.
