Booking starts months early
Camping in Canada often means booking in April, then discovering the good sites are already gone. Weather is the second gamble. I have arrived for trips that turned into days of rain, and fire bans can change the plan just as quickly.
Woodsmoke puts the useful decisions on one map: campgrounds across Canada, expected weather, fire risk, bear-country notes and a packing list. I built the whole thing over one weekend for DeveloperWeek 2026.
A forecast for booking day
Most forecasts stop well before a campsite opens for booking. For each park, Woodsmoke combines Open-Meteo’s live outlook with five years of weather around the same dates. That produces a useful range, then the app turns it into clothing and cooking suggestions.
Its campground list mixes broad provincial coverage with the popular parks I could verify. Fast scanning mattered more than stuffing every campsite into the first version.
