Incremental cancellation penalty
This looks interesting. I really hope it works to discourage folks who are gaming the reservation system. Michigan State Parks New Policy

I'm glad they are doing it. Hopefully it will help. For us Weekend/Vacation Warriors with kids in school, it is tough to find sites in the popular campgrounds at the times we can go. I just checked TopSail in Destin, and they only have 1 site available for a week in June, and it is only a 20ft site.
There is a campground on a lake that we go to that only allows reservations to be made 45 days before your arrival date. To get in for Labor day we had to call and make reservations starting on Wednesday even though we were not going to arrive until Friday night. Even paying for 2 extra nights, there were only a couple of sites left. They said that water fronts sites were gone on Monday.
Going to the lake during the summer it is tough to decide on like a Tuesday to go for the weekend because sites will be gone.
With RV's selling like they are, I think things are just going to get worse. I'm glad people are getting out and enjoying nature and spending time with their kids, but I want a campsite :)
