I wish the cancellation fee were higher. People get on line and reserve all their contingency spots in case they might want to go, thus filling up the parks with unfulfilled reservations. Those who really want to stay are shut out even though sites will be ultimately available. They will cancel a few days in advance, pay a couple of bucks The site will go empty and a family that needs to plan ahead will stay home. Should be a $50 cancellation fee in my mind.
Except it appears the OP isn't one of those folks to whom you refer. He tried to cancel a month in advance! You do realize some folks have bona fide reasons to have to cancel, don't you?
Oregon used to have a reservation hold of $3.00 and you paid upon arrival. People got wise to the other people who were over booking and started to do the same. If you didn't have a reservation by January 2nd you were out of luck. It would cost $3.00 not to show. They are Reserve America now and you at least have a shot at getting a site.
I had a reservation at Grayland Beach in WA last October and a 7" rain storm was due to blow in. Didn't want to deal with it so cancelled. Cost me $38.00 and I was glad to pay it.
