I guess I'm one of the people who are actually happy with this change. You should still be able to be spontaneous. Just because they can reserve all of the sites doesn't mean that all sites will be reserved. Just call the campground the day before or morning that you want to go and ask about openings. The nice thing now will be that you can reserve same day. We've called the same day and were told we couldn't reserve but could drive there and if the site was still available we could have it. I'm not willing to drive 1-2 hours to find out someone took the site a 1/2 hour before we got there. This was I can reserve that site for myself same day.
Yup, works fine, as long as you don't mind paying a reserve fee of about nine bucks for a night or two in a sixteen dollar site. That's the one of the REAL reasons for all reservations - Tack on a fee.
We arrived at a CG in Wyoming. We wanted a week, but could only get three sites for a couple days each, and move. "OK, we'll take it."
Twenty-seven dollars for the reserve fee for each of three sites because it wasn't the same site for a week, and we were standing right there in the office. PLUS a day-use fee each day in the park, unless we bought the annual pass for $15 more ...
