Virginia State parks new site specific policy
Anyone here who camps at the VA state parks have an opinion on this? One of the reasons we enjoy the state parks was the fact that the reservations were non-specific. We like camping 4 or 5 nights ...

I prefer having site specific reservations. We usually camp with at least one other family, often times 4 or 5 families. Being able to reserve 5 sites together is preferred. At non site specific parks, they may have 20 open spots, but maybe not enough together for a group.
Perhaps a compromise would be to reserve a site (non specific) for the flat fee. If someone like me wants to reserve a group of sites (specific), you pay the flat fee plus a nominal site reservation fee ($2-$4 fee). Having that slight fee will hopefully prevent people from requesting specific sites if they don't really need it, and will allow larger groups to have a better chance of camping together.
