I agree. My home state (WV) is a perfect example. You can make a reservation for a room in a lodge at our state parks with the click of a mouse. You can rent a cabin the same way.

If you want to book ahead, you have to wait until February 15 and mail an application to the park of your choice. Reservations by mail, now that's a novel approach to efficiency and accessibility.
Phone reservations are allowed starting March 15. You call an 800-number and they forward the call to the campground. If you get lucky and catch the host in the office, you get to make a reservation.
They do keep a number of first come, first served sites in each CG. We have resorted to winging it. We call in the morning and ask how many vacancies. If the numbers sound good, we take off for that CG.
How much money are they losing from others who just give up. How many sites sit vacant because nobody wanted to chance it.
I agree with you. We spend a lot of money while we are there. I think they are missing the boat and are behind the times.
