In speaking with the ranger, we learned that they’re now booking 100% of the sites versus only 50% before the pandemic.
We noticed the same thing (empty reserved campsites) when we were at Suttle Lake’s Blue Bay campground a few weeks before. I would guess this may be happening at other locations, too.
They should return to reservations for 50% of the sites and/or change the cancellation policy to include a hefty penalty for no shows. Obviously people can afford to make reservations and then ignore them instead of canceling and allowing others to reserve a site.
