This was often done when you could reserve 6 months or more in advance and people would do the 6 month thing on wed or thursday to make sure they had a weekend reservation.
Interestingly with the solar eclipse in oregon, state parks has taken a harder line on reservations on campgrounds in the eclipse path. Reservation window was changed so that the window allowed earliest reservation for those sites to be the the wed before the eclipse rather than 14 days before the eclipse which is the normal maximum stay.
