Later and Later Check-in times
I have just noticed as I plan for a trip that the COE parks (and some others) are having a later check-in time: many at 4:00 pm and one, at least, with 6:00 pm. These are all in Arkansas, but I think ...

What was amazing, i'll say it again, is that about 2/3 of the park left at 4pm....was a traffic jam for about 30 mins in the park to get out.
Never seen that before...but then, 2020 has not been "normal".
That makes sense if they are local renters going out for the weekend -- when we go to a nearby park, we'll stay until the checkout time so we can get in one last hike, then come back, have lunch, then relax until it's time to unhook and go home. We usually dump the tanks first thing in the morning and unhook the water, then we just unhook power and go when we're ready to leave. Though the latest I've seen checkout around here is 3pm.
Though sometimes we'll book Friday night through Sunday and then arrive early Saturday so we can get in and get set up before the normal checkin -- I'd rather drive early in the morning then leave after work on Friday and arrive after dark (which is coming too soon these days!).
