We've experienced the late arrival site assignments -- usually posted on the window of the park HQ greeter booth. Latest I recall their being open was 8pm, but they've all cut back on hours. Some parks now close their HQ at 5pm.
Now, if they'd only allow site specific reservations, some of these problems would be solved. I'm all for supporting the parks system, but this is one area that has always bothered me. No, instead, I (and everyone else) are forced to race each another to the park on Friday afternoon in the hopes of getting that ideal site. Site specific reservations are definitely an advantage of the COE parks in my area.
