If only the $6.70 would go to the parks.
That $6.70 goes to pay the employees of Reserve America, pay for the website and pay for all the other overhead that comes from running a reservation center. The states and other agencies that use Reserve America have made the decision it is cheaper to pay the outside vendor for those services than it is to run them in house. It is most likely a good deal for both parties.
As for cancellation fees, these forums are overrun with threads about how hard it is to get a reservation at popular parks. Low cancellation fees have a lot to do with that. If it doesn't cost you anything to make a reservation and then cancel it later, why not tie up multiple sites for multiple days and make your travel decision later? The only workable way around that is to make the cancel fees hurt.
