Okay...wait. A FL state park near Seffner?? Are we talking about Hillsborough River SP? If so, there is an explanation.
If it is Hillsborough, see the 4th post in this thread.
(And if you mean Silver River/Silver Spring, they are not currently taking reservations through R/A due to campground construction.)

Bob - FL. State Parks always have a few sites for walk-ups that are not listed on Reserve America, or they are listed as filled. I have been told this at numerous parks in FL. as I always see empty spots on holidays or in the summer months.
Call the park you are interested in and ask them. You may actually have to show up to rent the spot, I'm not sure, so ask that question too.
The park I was referring too I actually drove there and asked the ranger about spots held back from RA for drive ups and was told that they did not do that so I do not know what is true because I had heard it before...

Campgrounds should be able to open site for walk-ins soon after a checkin-by time. Paying comfirmation for the entire reservation in advance would stop a lot of the abuse.

What is wrong is that the sites are reserved by people not actually using them. It is not unusual for someone to reserve (and pay for) a site for a two week window in order to have it for two or three nights at the end of that period. For the people doing this, the value of those nights is sufficient to justify the cost of a two week rental.
It may or may not be against the policy of a public park to tie up a facility but not use it, but separating the reservation system from park management makes it just that much more difficult to police, where policy considers it abuse of the reservations system. And for some parks, all they care about is whether or not the site is paid for, and so don't consider it abuse.

No the next month some times 2 months away....
ffective July 1, 2015, visitors will be charged a non-refundable $6.70 reservation fee for camping and cabin reservation fees at the time of reservation online or through the call center. To learn more: click here. Bring your family and friends for an overnight adventure at one of our state parks.
Florida's state park campsites and cabins fill quickly on weekends and holidays. Make your reservations early. If your favorite park is booked when you want to visit, consider staying at a neighboring state park or booking a mid-week stay.
Reservations for campgrounds and cabins may be made up to 11 months in advance.. Call ReserveAmerica (link is external) at (800) 326-3521 or TDD (888) 433-0287. Campsite prices vary from $16 to $42 a night depending on the park. Cabin prices vary from $30 to $160 a night.
For reservation details such as canceling or changing a reservation, discounts, length of stay and camping with pets visit Stay the Night.
