some nice changes
Reading between the lines they are doing more to stop the cheating to get campsites, as the majority of campers are either weekend warriors or usually just out of a week. This will effect retirees more than anything else as they seem to be the ones that have the time available to stay up to 23 nights in a park, but there are alot of parks at least a hundred or more provincial parks that have camping.

It will give more people the opportunity to get a site, as long as they enforce it, don't be like your cousins to the south, most of our Federal and State parks have a 14 day limit, unfortunately many times it's not enforced, or looped around, by playing the name game, this time, the site is reserved in hubby's name, next 14 days is reserved in wifey's name.

Is it legal to rotate from name to name. I mean if they had a rule against it they would stop it wouldn’t they? If you are saying it’s a moral issue we have to realize that it’s 2022 lol. There are people in here that think that someone driving the speed limit is a nuisance and they should be driving with the flow of traffic even if it’s speeding Selective rules or morals I guess

and is that is per year not per stay.
"may only camp up to a maximum of 14 nights in each park/calendar year."
I wonder if it ever gets enforced though

I noticed Algonquin Provincial Park was reduced to a 7 day minimum
Years ago I tried booking that place right at 9am when the window opened, tried for 3 days straight, could not reserve any available site . It seemed the locals have quicker keypad fingers than me...
Later in the week I noticed a cancellation had showed up which I grabbed quickly. Beautiful park, NOT easy to book..

I contend its not legal to change names. If pk has 10 day limit after 10 days that RV must leave.... Changing names is not leaving.

Yes it is a beautiful park, at nearly 3,000 square miles its tha largest vehicle accessible park in Ontario, hopefully if you decide to visit it again you'll be able to get a site just a tiny bit easier, 7 am (park time) is the date change time, so have all your info entered by 6:58, and booking from a tuesday or wednesday in a busy park usually gets you the best odds as most people start vacations on fridays or saturdays.
If you coming from a distance try one of the lesser known parks way up north,( whats an extra few hours on the road if your already driving 10 or more), they are just as beautiful but don't get as many of the weekend warriors from southern ontario, like myself a lot of folks won't do a 5 hour or more drive for a 2 or 3 day stay, and a lot of bookings occur on weekends for 2 to 3 days/nights.
