My overbooking is only on the front end which is later canceled such that someone else can use the site. I am only causing someone else from doing exactly the same thing I cam, overbooking to get the subset of days one really wants. The extra $10-18 fees are insignificant in the cost of our vacations - cost of doing business some say. Enough people follow this method for Michigan State Park campgrounds that I don't feel bad using (or as some suggest abusing) the system.
I have camped enough to know that campsite selection can really change the experience. Postage stamp across from the bathroom is very different than outer loop that backs to trees.
I can think of two simple changes to the rules to prevent this method. No changing checkin date of a reservation and have to checking by noon the following day following day or whole reservation is canceled/forfeited.
