This is a hot button for me. I reserve the last spot at an Oregon State park and show up on a Wednesday to an empty park which fills on Friday. Families that want to take their kids camping can't get a reservation because the "seasoned pros" are gaming the reservation system and think since they paid for the site they own it. The systems should charge a "show up reservation fee" which would be refundable when they show up on time the first day of their reservation. No other excuses.
I used to pose this fee as $200, but am now suggesting $300 due to inflation. That doesn't work, increase it. Personally, I only make reservations I plan to keep.
