Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could upgrade the rest of our state parks like Hammonasset State Park. I have been trying off and on the past 5 years to book hammo to no avail, too much local demand...

You are trying only to get holiday weekends and/or electric hookup sites? Holiday weekends are always packed, and 3/4 of Hammo is no hookups.
Electric sites need to be booked the moment they become available, although non-holiday weekends are sometimes open.
non-electric sites are usually available throughout the year.
I go back and forth on "upgrading" the state park campgrounds. It is really nice to have hookups, but so many state parks are beautiful and inexpensive to stay at as they are. Upgrading will increase the rates, and the crowds.
As I said in my first post, Macedonia Brook has become our favorite state park for camping, and it doesn't even have bathrooms with running water! Maybe the outhouses keep people away? lol
