Welcome to the world of RV Park logistics. No matter what the policy was/is there will be upset people. It's hard enough to get multiple families to make time and agree to meet at the same place. Obviously, they usually want to be next to each other. With a strict first come/first served policy, that probably isn't going to happen. The end result would either be the park loses those 8 reservations (they will go someplace that will let them be together) or they will all arrive and be upset. Waiver at all on first come/first served and you get upset people like the OP.
If someone has a solution that will work for everyone, all the time, I will be glad to steal it and claim it as my own.
Put the responsibility on the group.
If they arrive together they can be together.
If they arrive late they may not be with the group.
Why should I as a regular single camper have my reservation impacted? I'm playing by first come first serve rules and they are not.
In order to get 8 CG site tags you need 8 families present not 1.
Seems simple to me
Oak Mountain SP in Alabama states that you may make reservations but spots are at a first come first serve basis (for their tent camping sites). They hosts will drive around constantly and remove tags and kick people out who try and save spots. Some people are upset but not nearly as many as the people (like the OP) who are following the rules.
My sister in law has had to set up a tent in each of the spots that we want as a group to save the spots until the other campers get there. There is usually a group of people waiting in line for the office to open on busier weekends.
I disagree with allowing a group to save spots just by placing a placard on a post, especially if it goes against the stated rules and policy of the park.
The RV spots at Oak Mountain are site specific when you make the reservation.
