Does RV Park Reserving Work?

[Gary&Terry]

Much planning was done a month ahead of time and
reservations made at some of the RV parks with site numbers assigned based
on preference and suitability for our rig.

At three of these places, we got there and there was a note on the office
door saying, "I am out of the office for now, pick a spot and I will be by
so you can register later " (or similar wording). So we show up looking to
park in our reserved site, and luckily (?) our site was not taken (yet) so
we parked and it all worked out.

So what is the point of registering ahead of time and all that when
you can get there and somebody is in "your" spot? Will the manager make the
guy move? I doubt it! What would happen? Has this happened to you and how
did it work out? Is this normal???
