Messed up
Went camping at coast/county park and paid for 2 nights. Filled out envelope and deposited in iron ranger. Went to play golf and left doormat, trash can and firewood plus tag on post. Came back 4 hour...

Door mats and chocks are easy for people to forget when they pack up and head home. Leftover firewood is commonly stacked and left for the next camper to enjoy. None of those items says "occupied" to anybody driving around the campground, looking for a site.
You need to make it obvious. An old tent, a few chairs, a sign, orange cones... Make it really obvious that the site is occupied and the majority of campers will respect that. Yes, there are some jerks who will throw your stuff in the bushes, but they are few and far between.
