Campnab Vlog #2: Thoughts on BC Parks’ New Campsite Booking System and Website

This week BC Parks’ new website and booking system went live. As one might expect with such a launch, some are unhappy with this new approach. In this vlog, I’ll talk about why they shouldn’t be dismayed. I’ll also explain why I consider BC Parks’ recent online initiatives promising for campers in British Columbia. (Oh yeah—I’ll also gripe about how Campnab was misrepresented on the news, and the myth of digital scalpers for campsite reservations.)
