I was camping this weekend at Kalaloch Campground (pronounced "Clay Lock") N.P.S. and I couldn't believe the tent campers that were in spaces usually used by RV's. RV's were coming in thinking first c...

We also see no reason tent campers can't use the sites. We've been to that campground - if it's the Washington one - and they don't set up their tents on the blacktop, they set it up in the designated tent space. It's a camp space, not a RV space.
As far as reserving sites and not using them, this isn't done only by tent campers. RVers do it, also. This has become a big problem and it's very inconsiderate of folks to do this. They're keeping others from enjoying it. I guess some folks have plenty of extra money to loose money on a reservation. There are some that reserve many weekends - just in case - and if they don't feel like going camping that weekend, they don't care.
I guess I don't understand your comment about sewer hookups. Perhaps I'm thinking of a different park. If this is the one in Washington's Olympic Nat'l Park, this campground doesn't have any hookups - no water, electric or sewer. It does have a dump station. It also has some sites that don't have a tent pad and perhaps if they were on the pavement, that's why. Did you mention your concern to the park? Perhaps they could explain it better to you.
It's a beautiful campground and in high demand. Sorry your experience was not good.
