Then they have just as much right to the big site as you do; more so, in fact, since they arrived/paid for the site before you. Their comments were likely uncalled for, but still...are you willing to "give up" a nice big site to someone else that arrives later because their rig is slightly larger than yours? Where is that line? Tiny, small, medium, big, bigger, behemoth... I guess that management could attempt to put people only into sites that match their rig's length exactly, but if you are traveling with others whose rig is a different size...you end up separated.
And, as people with a larger rig, it sure gets annoying to see someone in a tiny camper taking up a spot we could have fit in, especially when the spot we do end up having is a tighter fit. This happened to us last year, and to make matters worse, the people with the tiny camper in the site next to us sat there watching us and making off hand comments about big campers while trying to get our camper out without running into boulders or scraping the side of the trailer on a low hanging tree.

Could also be they have a few 40 to 50 ft sites and they can make sure they are available for a big rig instead of a guy with a pop up or tent taking it leaving lost revenue for them with the big rig.

You may be staying only 4 days. Then the guest following you is staying three days, then the next guest for two weeks. There is no way to change sites with the two week stay that doesn't require them to move, which violates our number one criteria when assigning sites, never make a guest move during their stay.
There are various software packages a park can buy. Some allow picking a site and some don't.
What tics me off is an expensive resort that says you can't pick a sight and won't assign you a site until you arrive. Say the site you're assigned on arrival does not meet your needs so you ask for another site that is currently unoccupied. You're told that the new space is reserved. Huh? Thought they didn't reserve sites. Thought they didn't assign sites until your arrival. It's caused us much grief at one of our otherwise favorite resorts.

drives me batty I can't go site specific on some of our state parks cgs and other places. I want to look at the map and pick a number 🙂 I always want that nice waterfront site in the cgs I book. I saw some of Georgia's state park cgs are site specific and some are still not taking site number reservations. Come on already, change it over all to site specific for me please 🙂 🙂
