Electrical Site @ Killbear = Winning the Lottery

Well it's officially happened.  Booking an electrical campsite at Killbear is akin to winning the lottery. Literally.  It is only March 2nd and already most campsites at Killbear Provincial Park are fully booked until late August.  I spent tireless hours last week researching which sites were to come available to book for 5 months in advance for Killbear.  This means the August Long weekend.  As per the ONT PARK customer service staff's suggestion, I woke up at 6:45, picked my site, prefilled the required fields then hovered over the "reserve" button until the very second the clock turned 07:00 am. At 07:00:01 I was too late.  I lost out by milliseconds.  Their website then completely froze rendering me unable to book something, anything that may still be available.  At 7:02 when it unfroze the park was completely sold out.
I am shocked and saddened that this is what it has come down to.
