The best spot becomes communal property the second someone imagines they deserve it more, and courtesy is expected to carry the weight of other people’s planning failures. The kids-are-sleeping card gets played, as if children are diplomatic immunity with snack packs. The ranger declines to negotiate bedtime law and orders a midnight migration to the postage-stamp site that was actually theirs.

By sunrise, the scoreboard reads like it always does. The reservation holds, the RV fits the hard way, and the loud kids with off-leash rat dogs still announce themselves from next door. A child wails why they are no longer in the nice site; the parent blames the people who owned it on paper and in time.

New campfire rule: book early, pack manners, and don’t mistake kindness for open seating.
Labor Day weekend campers arrive to find their pre-booked prime site occupied, and have to get a ranger involved to force a move: ‘Shoulda booked earlier, my friends’
Labor Day weekend, a booked-11-months-ahead prime campsite waits for a group of seven adults, four kids, three cars, and the annual tradition of too much food and not enough patience. One problem appears under the pines: a vintage RV parked in the reserved spot next to a tiny site that could barely host a tricycle, let alone a 32-foot trailer.
The opener is polite and surgical. A reservation email in hand, a knock on the door, and a gracious accent to keep the night from turning stupid. The squatters claim they booked it, then mysteriously cannot find their confirmation while the ranger is en route. Ten minutes, then twenty, then finally a miracle occurs the moment authority arrives. The email surfaces, the truth is tiny, and the excuses are large.
