I believe some folks need reservations (set vacations, etc) Some folks prefer no reservations.
If a CG did half reservations, half first come, it would work for everyone.
AND, if a reserved site is not occupied (with no late arrival call) it should be available for at least an overnight. If unoccupied for two nights, lose it to walk-up campers.
I'm only talking Feds and State parks here - could care less about how private CG's do it. Up to the owner...
I'd prefer that the first night is held, but if they don't show or call by 10 a.m. the next morning, the reservation is cancelled in its entirety. That would allow for a mechanical issue, traffic closure, etc. on the way there, but wouldn't benefit folks who book a night early with no intention of using it to "get their spot" for the weekend.
