GoingToCamp Parks Canada no long work anymore

GoingToCamp Parks Canada no long work anymore. GoingToCamp is down?

[ysubbagh]

I am also getting 403 code when trying to use GoingToCamp

[juftin]

Do you have any camply commands / tracebacks to share? Is this a captcha issue, or is the site down, something else?

I got it working for a BC Parks campground but it took me a long time to realize that it only works if your search window is narrowed to exactly the few days where there might be a spot open like this

camply campsites \
        --provider goingtocamp --rec-area 12 \
    --campground -2147483640 \
    --start-date 2025-09-02 \
    --end-date 2025-09-03 --nights 1

Originally I wanted to have a larger search window (the whole month) and get results for any 1 day availability on a weekend but I could not get that to work.... from the documentation it sounds like that should be possible but this command for example doesn't yield any results even though there are multiple days where there is availability:

camply campsites \
        --provider goingtocamp --rec-area 12 \
    --campground -2147483640 \
    --start-date 2025-09-02 \
    --end-date 2025-09-20 --nights 1

@juftin thank you for this project btw, it's really cool! And do let me know if I'm missing something to make that longer search window command work

maybe related: WA and MI state parks are returning similar errors:

camply campgrounds --provider=GoingToCamp --rec-area=17
