What changes in the reservation system do you think would solve your problem?
I have never understood a First-Come First-Serve "reservation" system. This system might work if the campground was a tarmac, where all sites were equal, but that is the only way I could see it working.
.
Same here. I would prefer that first come, first served, means just that...no reservation, no prepayment..you show up, pay for your site and get a site. If you are able to choose the one you want best, thats nice, but not always possible.
In this case, if the other party pre-paid for the multiple sites and got there to claim them before anyone else, then it seems like they are in the clear to claim them.
My take is the first person should be able to claim their own site and maybe a couple extra. But at some point 8 is too many simply because it shuts out too many others expecting 1st come 1st serve.
it becomes more flawed when some of the group doesn't even show up to fill sites that were claimed.
The group is aware of the 1st come 1st serve rule if they want to be together than show up together on time!
