I like it because while I still have a reservation, I get to choose from the available sites when I get there. Plus it evens the playing field some against the locals who would otherwise reserve the best site months in advance. That is a problem I have with site specific reservations.
Without detailed pictures or local knowledge, making a site specific reservation is a hazard because while the site may be nice, the tree arrangement may make it very hard to get a rig into the site.
The biggest negative thing I hear is when groups want to stay on adjacent sites. However, not having a large group adjacent to each other is a good thing IMO since it does tend to cut down on a large rowdy group on one site late at night.
GA has some fantastic campgrounds, so I sure wouldn't stay away because of the reservation system. If you want more choices, just arrive on a Tuesday after most folks have gone home but before the early arrivals for the next weekend.

I don't know why but I like it better than Florida site specific reservations. Unless you have been to a campground before, this is a better way because you have a site and yet get to choose which one is best for you.
