I like the way Oregon does it.
"If you reserve a site/area for 6 nights/days or longer and then make a change that reduces the time of your stay, you must pay a fee equal to the nightly/daily use fee for each night/day canceled as well as the $8 transaction fee.

That would stop it I think.
People would use that method to reserve something say, 9 months and 1 week out when the normal window is 9 months away. They'd reserve a 10-day stay starting 9 months from out then cancelled the first several days to keep the 2nd weekend.
Washington's system only lets your reserve days that are actually within the window. The problem with that system is I had to log in each morning for 4 separate mornings to reserve 1 day at a time for a group camp site to be sure we got consecutive days.
