High volumes of B.C. residents crash B.C. Parks’ camping reservation website this morning

VICTORIA—High visitor volume on BC Parks’ camping reservation website caused the website to crash this morning, but it is now back up and running, says the Ministry of Environment.

Earlier today the province announced they were relaunching BC Parks’ Discover Camping website, which allows the public to reserve camping spots across the province.

The Ministry told CKPG News that the system was experiencing delays this morning as an influx of eager B.C. residents flooded the site in an attempt to select their camping destinations of choice.

In the first half hour alone, 800 reservations were processed, opposed to this time last year, when 1,100 reservations were processed in a day. Over 50,000 people were online at the same time trying to access the system, causing the large slow down.
