I guess what I do not understand, when people complain about, reservations fees, cancellation fees, or changing dates is this.
When you reserve a site, be it state or private, you have entered into a contract. The CG's part of the contract is that, the site is yours, on the dates you specified.
No where in that contract does it say, you can cancel those dates, move them, or that there is any reason, they, have to accomadate any special things that may come up in your life, and do it for free. Why should they? It takes staff time to make these changes, should you not compensate them, for that time?.
We may all feel they overcharge us for those changes, perhaps they do, I have no knowledge of the R/A profit margin.
But I think it is wrong to enter into a contract, and then call foul, when you change it not them. No one held a gun to your head, for anyone of us to make these reservations.
