Squatters?????
I'm not familiar with the term as it relates to staffed campgrounds-?
I think he's referring to people showing up early to claim spots for other people. People will put out a camp chair or two or an empty tent, or camp at one and park their car at a second. I saw this at Sol Duc when we were there, but the rangers kept it pretty well under control.
Ah- I get it.
Thing is, my experience with the NFS staff over here is that they pretty strictly enforce the "all sites prepaid/can't hold for others/must spend at least first night in site" rules.
I s'pose there are those that bust their chops tryin' to get by that "can't hold" rule, but- if they're paying for the site and are willing to occupy it, there's nothin' much else the Rangers can do about it.
