Wa State Parks used to let you cancel with full refund, except for the original "online reservation fee", which is like $7 or something..
But, people started to abuse the system and make reservations TWO WEEKS ahead of time, to get the weekend they wanted. Then they would cancel the prior days after the 9 month time frame for that weekend.
They would get refunded all the fees for the prior days they canceled, yet still be able to keep the the days they really wanted..
Totally UNFAIR and WA State Parks realized that and put policies in that if you cancel your PRIOR dates after such a period of time (within days), you would NOT get your site fees back and have to eat that cost.. You can still cancel your ENTIRE block of days and get a full refund within 7 days of your arrival date.. But, you have to cancel the entire reservation block..
So, you can still do the TWO WEEK thing and then cancel if you want, but it's going to cost you now.
Thank you WA State Parks for doing this! I was getting blocked out of so many sites because of this and now I can get the sites I like in the time frame I want and all is good in the world again!
