We had the opposite happen to use this past March. We had made reservations at Paris Mountain State Park in Greenville, SC for a Wednesday - Sunday weeks in advanced. The board was marked that the site we reserved was indeed reserved. As we pulled up to the site, I noticed there was Coleman camp stove at our site next to the fire ring. I assumed the previous camper left it for trash and the Rangers didn't pick it up. I was stoked too because it looked like it was in much better shape than ours :)
While parking, this tent camper comes up and claims the stove. He told us the Ranger told him to just pick a site anywhere in the back. Unfortunately for him, he choose our site. He told us about 15 minutes after he finished setting up camp, the Ranger came through and told him that site had been reserved and he'd have to move.
I felt really bad because the site next to ours was open the entire time we were there and we would have gladly taken that site, but the tent camper had already broken camp, except for his stove.
