reserve.albertaparks.ca reservation system down since Saturday - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

Anybody hear anything about what is going on with this? The site has been down since Saturday, was briefly up today and then went down again. Their Twitter feed has some info, but it raises more questions than it answers. Interesting, especially, that their internal system is down as well.

I should have been faster this morning, I guess.

When was it that I was last saying we needed to invest in Alberta Parks? Oh yeah, yesterday.

There’s a sick humour to the ‘event ended’ in on Alberta Parks page under this government.

Just breezed through the Facebook comments. A number of people said they booked sites (yesterday) and got confirmation e-mails, but their sites still showed as available on the website. That could be a hell of a mess for AB Parks to unwind, if true.

It's back up today but with Queue-it. Hour long wait with almost 5,000 in line.

After two hours I cleared the 5,000 person queue and was promptly kicked to the back of the line. Pretty neat system we've got going on here.

And it's a solid block of red with literally zero availability left. Cool cool cool

Where are you trying to book? Some spots are just impossible (Writing on Stone), but there are a few underappreciated gems in the parks network depending on the exprience you want.

Also, www.campnab.com may be helpful to you.

I've been trying to get a spot at Writing on Stone for like 2-3 years now. The sliding reservation system is so stupid.
