We just had this happen yesterday. We arrived to a nearly empty campground and was told we would have to pay $3 per hour for early checkin on top of the $48 a night. We paid it because we have business here and wanted to get going. When it doesn't require any more effort on the part of the staff, I don't understand it. If they had to hustle to "clean" a site that would be different. Incidentally, when we called earlier in the morning to ask about availability, we were told they had plenty of sites and to just come on it. . . nothing about an early checkin fee.

What if it was on the leaving end? Would that make any difference to you?
Say you were 2 or 3 hours late in leaving the CG. You run your AC or AC's for 2 to 3 more hours. That means the CG would have to pay the power company for power you did not pay for. It makes a big difference if everybody did that.
See why they do it now?
Here, in peak season. they would not be allowed to stay on the site 2 or 3 hours after check out. There are people waiting for them to leave. Out by 11 or the CG will help you. Pirateland, Ocean Lakes, Lakewood, all have staff riding the CG to make sure people are leaving on time. Would a motel let you stay longer? No.
They also have no problem letting you on your site early, If it is empty.
