to get weekend sites at some campgrounds around here means booking for thursday night. and in most cases campgrounds hold the site till the next evening. Bingo...... book thursday through sunday, show up friday night, pay an extra day and have a site. try to book friday 6 months in advance, nada.....book thursday get a jump on the weekend campers booking opens a day earlier and pay the extra day.
Case 2: we had 2 days booked at a FS campground. decided we wanted a different campground. the cost to cancel the 2 days was greater than the cost of the 2 days. It would have cost us money to cancel!! So...... didn't cancel, yes we paid the golden eagle cost for 2 days, but cancelling cost more than that!
