A question about campground reservation.
Why do some campgrounds let you pick your site when making a reservation and some will not tell you which site until you get there?

It is really a simple case of economics. If I have two sites and you reserve site 1 for Mon-Tues and Fred reserves site 2 for Wed- Thur then when Joe calls and wants to stay Mon- Fri I have to tell him I don't have a place. There are also always the folks who sign up for 3 days but then want to stay longer. If I can't move reservations around I have to tell them sorry you'll have to leave. I can not afford to let half my inventory set vacant. I have to optimize the occupancy to pay the bills.
The govt parks on the other hand don't have the need to pay for property acquisition or insurance and don't have the need to optimize occupancy. But then again maybe that is why they always say they can't afford to take care of their deferred maintenance and need more tax money..
