Lately we have been seeing more and more none paid "site saving" in campgrounds. What we typically see is a camp chair sitting in the drive of the site. I find it incredibly rude when people do this. Last weekend we went to a remote USFS campground where 5 of the 18 sites were saved this way. And of course they were all of the best sites. The people didnt show up until hours later. I dont have an issue if someone gets there early and PAYS for the sites but just saving sites at first come sites isn't right. What do you think?
on holiday weekends the state parks that we frequent in Illinois frown upon early birds...those who bring the RV out on tue or wed, park it on the spot (and pay the fees for those days) without setting anything up and then leave until fri afternoon. they've paid for the site but they're not occupying it. the state park "rangers" try to discourage that but they are so short staffed...volunteers and paid staff...that it's nearly impossible to catch everyone doing that. paying for a site, setting up and then leaving for the day is different than doing what I've described. it's selfish behavior.
