Saving sites - opinions
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. ...

Wow lots of antagonism here.
We have a class c. No toad.
In Provincial Parks in BC there are a couple systems for payment. A gate house, where you pay first and are assigned a site, a evening walk around by a camp host who collects fees, or the honour system, when you put your money in a post.
Gate house model, we get both a paper for the windshield and one for the post.
Evening walk model, we do not get any paperwork until late in the day (could be 8 plus hours after arriving), ticket for post and windshield.
Honour system, usually nothing for vehicle or post.
Private campgrounds, no post for put up a ticket.
If camping close to home, we sometimes drive the car as well as class c. If the car arrives first and there is no gatehouse, we put a couple chairs and a cone with our name on it at the site. There is no way to make a payment right away.
Then the driver of the car may go for a local drive to check our amenities and attractions, plus pick up any last minute groceries and ice before the rv arrives.
The arrival time of the RV has never been more than an hour after the car. Often the RV arrives first.
Now that the kids are older, we could leave one of them at the site.
We always stay and pay from the day we arrive.
