So? Charge their credit card because they didn't show, they tell credit Co they weren't their and charge is removed. So how does that help? Joe resident down the street that pays his taxes here can't get a spot because daddy big bucks reserves a spot for 2 weeks a year in advance then don't show, how does that work? Looks like the out of staters are playing the system, maybe. How about charging out of staters more and limiting how far in advance everyone can reserve? Who has a real solution? As I said above, I pay to get spots in private parks so I have never had a problem
You put a big fat box to check that says: I have read, understand and agree to the cancellation policy and the hefty penalty for no shows!
Basically you have all campers agree to the policy or camp elsewhere.
Keep in mind the idea is not to penalize people. The goal is to eliminate vacant sites. If you can't make it cancel.
If you have a break down call and say you'll be late. But no call no show is a flagrant violation that will get you a fine/penalty.
Hopefully a strict substantial penalty will be a strong deterrent to reduce/eliminate no shows and vacant sites.
