I'll take it if it's one of the ones I was trying to get.

Why's that, did he cancel his reservation or something? It doesn't absolve him of the abuse of the reservation system, of getting blocks overlapping two weekends and letting the in between go to waste.
Last 2 years it's been like this. For the high demand sites I want, you watch them book up in advance by people like this, then eventually for the entire year it's solid booked. Then you are lucky to see some cancellations open up as people figure out they what days they actually want to use, but problem is, they are last minute and you have to watch it constantly. You also have to be prepared to take vacation and leave within 2 days notice. So great.
Finally bag a spot because thankfully I'm flexible, and among the other spots that are fully booked, I am the only one there during the week. The others just left their ####. Does make for a relaxed outing though with no one else there I guess, but thankful me appreciated that one guy who actually cancelled to let me get that spot in the first place.
So no, I don't feel an #######.
