We have been meeting friends every year for 40 years already mg the river at a prescribed time give or take.
The reservation system works for people with time on their hands and are organized.
It's tougher for others. The system leaves campsites vacant that wouldn't be in January be with FF available

Great Host. Smiling River had a mix of tent, small and medium Campers. Only one night for 2 hours did one person use a generator.
I was able to charge sufficiently with solar panels and still have nice shade
