Puzzled? Must be missing something here.
Why didn't you just make the original reservation for five days?
Garner is THE most-visited park in the State. And they only have about 60 sites in Old Garner, where we *always* stay. They are 100% booked during the summer, usually by March. BUT..... There are cancellations of course. And if you can get ONE day at OG, they can, in my 7-Summer experience, add on days from cancellations, once you're there. So if you have just 1 day you're good. Which is why I made the first reservation.
Last week I checked just for grins & surprisingly they had 2-3 sites available in OG for the next 4 days. Hence the 2 separate reservations. Now I know I should have just stuck with my original method & asked for an extra 4 nights when I got here. But that could be a cr@p shoot too & we COULD have to stand in line again OR move to New Garner, which, although nice, is not where we want to camp.
