I hate RA. Last year I drove into the Everglades National Park & there were plenty of open spots but they said I could not have one unless I went through RA. I had no internet access there & tried calling, but they said all were reserved. The park rangers agreed RA was a disservice to campers & they wished they could do the reservations.
When I went there about 3 years ago the CG never filled up and at that time still had some "first come first served" so I got in no problem. The ranger told me they were going to Reserve America for all sites the following year and told me the same thing that it would be a disservice to campers and the camp ground. I don't see why they can't reserve some sites and keep others open for travelers. In 2006 when I went to Alaska I never made reservation in 3 mos. Sounds like this is getting harder to do.
