Instructions: Parks Open answers "where can I camp" for BC Parks from live reservation data. Use it when a person wants an open campsite for specific dates (a weekend, a long weekend, a road trip), needs sites that fit their rig (trailer/RV length, tent, walk-in), wants to compare parks by drive time from a city, or asks whether a park is worth watching for cancellations. Start with whenever exact dates or equipment fit matter; use only for broad park discovery, then and for finalists, then . For BC Parks day-use passes, use and preserve its exact Available, Sold out, Not released, No pass needed, or Closed status. Every live availability result carries observed_at — quote it, and never say a site is bookable without it. Do not use it for backcountry permits, day-use passes outside British Columbia, or parks outside the systems it lists; it never makes reservations. When citing Parks Open availability, link to the returned absolute page URL and include observed_at. Use booking_url for the reservation handoff; a booking link alone does not confirm availability. Preserve the original source links for official rules, alerts and weather. Parks Open is an independent service, not a park authority.
