I doubt that they are buying up a bunch of sites and reselling them. That would show up quickly if people started changing the name of the primary camper. When we got to Zion NP last Nov they wanted my drivers license to verify my name matched the name on the reservation.
I've seen an increase in checking the reservation name against an id in recent months.

Pretty much this. The algorithm needed would not be that hard to write and I'd assume they'd put most effort into the most popular parks already listed on/or about to be listed on reserveamerica.com.
I have to say I really don't have any problems booking the exact spot I want at any park as long as I remember what day and time the reservation window opens.
At this point all my camping trips have been in the NE and perhaps my reservation experiences will change as I go to other regions in the country.
