People have been talking about overcrowding at state and national parks seemingly forever.
Now they are trying to do something about it. Actually, there have been a variety of solutions tried over the years, this is just the latest.
I've got no problem with reservations... as long as they are available for everyone.
At some of my local Connecticut state parks, people "work" the system all the time to essentially have campsites virtually all summer in prime spots. Every few years the state parks try to tweak the system to prevent that, but it is almost impossible to get a prime spot if you don't know how to "beat" the people who are working around the system designed to, well, prevent that.
Heck, there are regularly threads in this forum about "working the system" to get better spots at prime times.
If a new reservation system helps to insure more people get a better experience, AND help reduce damage to natural areas, then it will be good.
Just be assured, people will figure out how to work the system to their advantage, and in a few years we will have new forum threads with people complaining about the latest "new" system to prevent people from working the system.
