It also gives the camphost time to do a campground run to post reservation cards, clean bathrooms, etc., before people are moving in.
Fortunately, in the off season, they rarely have a problem if you want to stay later than the scheduled check out time unless someone is reserved to move in or it's a Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
