Kinda like winning the lottery!

Last week, I had to set my alarm for 5:45 AM on my day off just so I could be on the Ontario Provincial Parks site when reservations opened up for 5 months in the future at Killarney. I clicked on the campsite I was hoping to get and at 7AM and 1 second (eastern time) I clicked on the 'reserve this site' button. I already had an account, so the reservation only took a couple of minutes to complete. When I was done, I checked the website again and saw the campground was fully booked a couple of minutes after reservations opened. I believe there were only about 6 sites opening up that day. You have to be an early bird to catch the Killarney worm.
Now I have to wait until August to see if i picked a good site.

Hey Ptomaine, congrats.
Sometimes it's hard getting into the popular campgrounds, glad to hear you were successful.
What date did you book for in August? There might be a lucky opening for someone to join you.

"Lucky" you are it's a very popular campground. Us Canadians really like our camping. The early-morning booking event is common. It's like that at lot of popular Canadians campsites (pinery/killbear/sandbanks/algonquin/bon echo) It's a beautiful area don't forget your camera

Did you really want to go to a Campground that is that full?
I thought camping was enjoying the Great Outdoors! in Solitude!
Campgrounds that are packed full are like living in the city!
Even Ontario must have some beautiful open space to Camp without having to feel like a lottery winner to get in?

I am staying four nights starting Friday, August 16. Last year I spent a few nights each at Lake Superior & Sleeping Giant Provincial Parks. I decided to check out Lake Huron this year. I have only been east Lake Superior in Ontario once, and that was over 30 years ago.
I'll definitely have the camera.

Me I like solitude so I don't use the busy campgrounds I like to get away to the forest service sites here in BC where your lucky if you get a picnic table and an outhouse

The camper is all packed, and I am chomping at the bit to get out of here. Two days of work before I leave.
It's almost 1000 km, and I lose a time zone; I will be taking the trip in two legs. Staying near Sualt Ste. Marie on Thursday night
then a leisurely drive to Killarney on Friday (with a stop in Sudbury for some groceries and Beer). The weather report has changed
from sunny to rain and now back to sunny again. looking good!
