Bogus campsite reservations

Where would you draw the line on legitimate reasons and who is going to be the judge? I can say my mother in law died hundreds of times. Same with I had mechanical problems, got called to jury duty, dog ate my homework and on and on. How would you know if someone kept a reservation somewhere else? There is no way anything can be verified. Either you have a refund policy or you don't. Creating one with all sorts of loopholes, exceptions and gray areas means you don't have a policy.

Ditto....every one that says they would go with no refunds will be the first ones crying saying that it's unfair.

I get to pick my vacation one time a year. Normally about the first of December for the next year. If I want to go where everyone else wants to go, then I will be SOL when my vacation time comes to try and make reservations. Especially summer time and spring break. So what I started doing is that I will make reservations and then when December comes and by some chance I can not get the week I reserved, then I cancel and I am out $20 or so. Worth it to me and it still gives people a chance to bet my reservations if I have to cancel. Just like I canceled Curry Hammock and Bahia Honda for a week in July a couple weeks ago. Still gives people the time to get some reservations in there that want them. But if you are going to go to places that are popular and book up easily reservation wise, then you can't *****foot around and try to get them at the last minute. It's very rarely going to happen. If you will be happy in less popular places, then you may get lucky.
