Ratings and reviews

some features do not seem to work so you have to launch the links via the browser and overall the ux is pretty poor

Extremely disappointing, but there's no alternative. I tried to book a camping site online, and could not. Booking online is the reason I installed the app! There needs to be another area in the app so you can log on and confirm your identity. Instead you need to find the campsite then drill down to log in. Anyway, once I got to the pay area the app wouldn't let me pay. The Parks Canada Full website is a failure too.

I do not see any point to this app. This app is nothing but marketing for Parks Canada, all you can do is see all the National Parks in Canada and read up a little on them, the exact same as the mobile web site. Once you find a park, you need to manually go to the website if you plan to make any reservations. It does not offer access to the reservation system, nor does it allow me to log into my Parks Canada account to review my reservations or make changes.
