So often I see empty campsites even though they are fully booked. The penalty for not cancelling a reservation isn't enough of a deterrent to make people do the right thing and cancel a reservation if they aren't going to use it. It would be interesting to know on average how many reservations aren't used in any given day in YNP. Fully utilizing the existing campsites would sure help some of the problems you mention.

Better training! ;) Our 14 and 17 yo nieces have camped with us for years and don't need (or get) electricity. Yeah, there's water spigots but the toilets are often just outhouses. The cost and disruption of providing water and electric just aren't justified. It's a short enough camping season anyway, so it would take many years to payout that investment.
