Beautiful place but no camp host = no emergency phone available (no cell service)

Lake Sullivan is always a great place to spend a few days. It was this time as well. However, there are a couple of issues for people to be aware of. First, prices are increasing. A single site last year was $24, this year $27 and next year will be $29. More importantly, they have changed the reservation system. In the past, there were sites which were reservable and some which were not. The non-reservable sites were "first come first served." Now, all sites are reservable. If a site is not reserved you are able to take it for a night unless someone reserves it after you arrive there. What happened for us was that our "reserved" card was not posted on our site so someone came and took it for the night. Luckily they were leaving the next day and there were other sites open, so we took one of those for the first night and then moved the next day. That really could have been a bad situation. This new system means no one can go up mid-week and take a "first come, first served" spot and stay thru the weekend because every weekend all summer long is booked far in advance. Not sure why they felt a need to change a system that has worked so well for many, many years. We used to go up on a Monday, find a spot and then decide how long to stay. You are no longer able to do this. Everything must be booked in advance. We talked to several other campers and no one likes this new system. It was a terrible, terrible idea. One other issue is why does recreation.gov need to collect $8 for EVERY reservation? It's an electronic system and I can't believe maintenance on the software can possibly cost that much, considering the number of camping locations that use that site.
