I personally think it's petty to charge for coming and hour or two early. In a full occupancy period, in order to get on early the previous occupant had to have left early, they already paid for your early arrival. I can see maybe if there wasn't anybody on that site before you arrived. If I were the campground owner that's how I would play it.
It's more about maintaining the rules.Not so much dollars and cents.
The CG is not getting rich off the fee. But they want to discourage campers from arriving early. If for some reason they insist on showing early than they can wait until the posted check in time or pay the fee.
It's really not that complicated.
I imagine sometimes an early arrival is no big deal. Then again I'n sure there are times they are not prepared/ready for early arrivals.
Same applies to departures. Sometimes departing time is critical some times its not. Either way the inmates cannot run the asylum.
The CG management sets an enforces the rules, the campers cannot expect to do as they please and arrive whenever they want without consequence.
