Yes, unexpected things happen and some well intentioned campers are unable to arrive as planned, but I believe they are the exception.
Absolutely, the systems are being gamed for certain campers' convenience to the detriment of the rest; many here on this forum.
I cancelled last minute a reservation at a Washington State park to do some razor clamming. Seven inches of rain was forecasted to blow in over the weekend and our campsite was low-lying. I paid the meager penalty and wouldn't have minded if it was a couple of hundred dollars for a no show. As a matter of fact, I might have sat in the torrential rain for $200 and shown up!
