Stop accepting reservations or at most make half of the sites unreservable.
One problem travelers have is that you may arrive during the week but get kicked out on the weekend because a site is reserved.
Non-reservable sites are problematic especially for people who travel from far distances, or who can't arrive early in the day to secure a site (e.g. people who work the day shift). I would be very reluctant to drive my motorhome from Vermont to Yellowstone on the hopes that I could snag a suitable non-reservable site in a very popular park for several days. Planning around a reservation is much, much more practical for me.
It seems the main complaint is that popular destinations are popular. Yes, that's annoying when you want to go there, but I don't see much of any way around the basic problem other than trying to make it as fair as practical for everybody to get an equal chance to go. If it were a less popular place, it wouldn't matter so much if all the sites were reservable as there would still be ones open to be "reserved" on the spot.
