I've not had issues with booking with Reserve America, but I have often wondered why there is always so many open sites sometimes when Reserve America says there aren't sites available. I know there are cancellations but one time recently we were at a local state park that has two 30 site loops. I had booked way in advance but the morning of our checkin date, I checked Reserve America and it said all sites were booked. I know they hold some sites for a first come basis but when we arrived the campground was only about 65-70% full. I have seen this on multiple occasions.

Possibly if you were checking on the morning of your arrival the sites were shown as unavailable because it was not far enough in advance to make the reservation online via ReserveAmerica. New York, for instance, won't allow a same-day reservation to be made online, I assume because they need to transfer the reservation information each day from ReserveAmerica's computers to their computers (and then they wouldn't get updated properly at the park for online reservations after that) or something equally mundane.
