Ken,
It is my understanding that you register online and then answer a email to turn on electricity and water and gain use of sewer. After your term expires water and electricity are cut off remotely.
If you think that compares to an envelope in a slot then to each his own.
When we were in Germany a few years back, they had self check-in and electricity was coin operated (50c Euro got you 1kwh, if I remember correctly)...so I think that would qualify as "automated" by your definition.
Honestly, sounds like a gimmick more than anything else.
Staying in a county park in Idaho at the moment. Reservations are online only and no checkin. You just pull into the spot you reserved. The staff doing maintenance, have an app so they can see if a site should be occupied while mowing and doing other tasks, so pretty close to zero labor cost to monitor people trying to cheat the system.
But $50 for a freeway overnight stop is way too high. We are usually looking at $20-30 for those types of stops.
