This weekend we are going to a VA state park. The campground is completely booked. It is about 2.5 hours away, so we will be taking off work early in hopes that we arrive before the majority of people so we can select a decent site. I hate playing campground roulette. The last time I arrived at a VA state park on a Friday, there were five other campers circling the campground looking for a site. It became a race to find available sites. And people were taking the wrong types of sites, apparent due to them moving and circling again after visiting the registration desk.
We are also going to a Va state park this weekend. I also have anxiety about finding a spot. However I have always had decent sites at VA parks. Their system seems to work fine. It keeps the sites circulating and doesn't allow anyone to continually get a certain site. All sites are open to everyone. The fact that you and I get there late is kind of all own personnel issue. But we are still guaranteed the best available site.
VA parks are always busy and full despite all those claiming they are avoiding them over pet and/or reservation policies. As long as the parks are full I see no reason to change the policies.
