Wait times affected due to 'challenges' with campsite reservation servers: province
Challenges with provincial servers left some people looking to make a camping reservation at a Manitoba provincial park waiting a while.
Bookings opened at 7 a.m. Wednesday morning for campsite reservations at Birds Hill, Falcon Beach, Falcon Lakeshore and West Hawk Lake.
In three hours, the province said nearly 14,000 reservations had been made; however, there were some issues.
"There were challenges with some of the servers early in the process this morning," a provincial spokesperson told CTV News in an email, adding it did affect wait times for some people looking to make a reservation.
The province said the queue was removed at 9:44 a.m., and those looking to make a reservation no longer have to wait in line.
The next round of reservations, which will include campsite reservations at all western and northern region parks, begins at 7 a.m. on Friday. This includes campsites in Asessippi, Bakers Narrows, Clearwater Lake, Duck Mountain, Manipogo, Paint Lake, Rainbow Beach, Rivers, Spruce Woods, Turtle Mountain, William Lake and Wekusko Falls.
