I understand State and Federal Parks charge reservation fee to the campers that use their reservation system. The post states that all campers are charged a reservation fee, not just the campers using the reservation system. There is nothing wrong with charging a reservation fee if you use the system. But charging a drive up camper is not a justified fee.
A drive up camper would need to be put into the system so that there would not be double booking for the same site. Therefore the fee for the drive up camper.
I haven't looked at Louisianas reservation system, but isn't there a cut-off date for reservations? We have found 2-3 days prior to the reservation. So if you drove in on the same day as you wanted to stay and there was no reservation for that site then there shouldn't be a problem with getting that site.
