The province began accepting campsite reservations on Thursday and like many camping trips, it didn t go as smoothly as hoped.
On the opening morning, the province s booking site was as sluggish as a 1975 Winnebago navigating the Highwood Pass.
In an email to CBC News, Alberta Environment and Parks said the site was slower than usual due to extremely high traffic.
