I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

Goes along the same lines as the folks who reserve every weekend at some campgrounds and then just show up when they can. It's very self-centered and disrespectful of others. What I would consider, however, if you get there and the cg isn't very crowded then possibly purchase the adjoining site at that time.
I don't understand the mindset of doing an activity that by definition brings you into potentially crowded conditions, then demanding no one be near you. Buy a cabin in the woods.
Sorry but I disagree. Rudeness is not an issue here. If I wanted to rent or "charter" the entire campground that is between me and the owner, no one else. This is a financial transaction for a service.
Similarly if I want to charter Disneyland for my company or a large yacht or aircraft it's between me and the owner. Getting two sites is the same thing. And take note. Some people buy two airline seats so they dont have to sit next to someone or they buy one for their Stradivarius violin. It's their money.

Don't recall my mentioning any camper lengths. Are you grabbing at straws to justify your position. Your original post was a statement of your policy on making reservationss. Suddenly, RV length is an issue? Personally, I've NEVER seen a camp site limited to 20' RVs.
Does it even matter? The whole "only reserve 2 spots when the campground is only half full" is an odd rational. If I wanted privacy I would only do 2 sites when the campground was relatively full or save my cash.

VT Skier: If we all thought like you, we would all be in trouble, and half of us would be without campsites. A lot of people don't reserve campsites. You just locked them out. Has anyone ever pulled into your empty site after check-in hours?
