Number of campsites on a given lake??...

I've noticed that, on many lakes, the number of campsites that can be reserved is fewer than the number according to Jeff's maps. As an example, there are 16 sites that can be reserved on Misty Lake compared to 20 sites on the map. Is this because there are really only 16 sites now available or is it to ensure that there are always extra sites if someone's plans are forced to change (e.g. wind-bound etc.)? thx! Jon

The latter. There are always people who end up where they shouldn't be, whether due to weather, injury, or just the jerks who think they can ignore where they're booked because they found a nice site elsewhere. Plus imagine having to paddle the length and breadth of some of the larger lakes trying to find the one available campsite if it could be fully booked. So the booking system is designed with some leeway in mind, so nobody (in theory) ends up on the lake they're supposed to be on and can't find any available sites.

All 20 sites on Misty still exist. Not all sites are reservable (for the exact reasons you mention).
