I was told locally that DOD issued a memo to all base commanders asking them to reevaluate MWR polices related to capacity control at their campground facility. Apparently there's a push to ensure facility access is opened up through the reduction of long-term or seasonal stayers. The goal is to create more shorter term availability similar to how federal campgrounds are managed by eliminating long term and repeated rolling to another site within the facility. They also want to remove the priority "season ticket holder" syndrome that allows a long term user from the prior year to have first chance to book another long term stays for the next year (and in a few cases 2 years away).
Even before this new group having access, some places were near impossible to get a reservation. One place I was at, there were several people that practically lived at the campground half the year. I support the effort to increase availability through reduction in stay lengths, just wished it would have been considered years ago when people first started complaining.
