How do you guys feel about this? I do understand the frustration in not being able to go out on a Friday afternoon before a long weekend and pick a spot; however I can see why the campgrounds allow it as it's extra money for them. I've also never attempted to go out without a reservation the Friday before a long weekend. In fact last May Long I took my boys out on the Thursday afternoon and told them there was a good chance we wouldn't find a spot and would be going home. (As luck would have it I got the 2nd last spot at Gooseberry.)
