There are usually different types of spot, from RV with hookups to a simple campfire for a tent. As someone who likes camping, this issue regularly rears its head for me. There are sites that I have only been able to visit twice in four years due to lack of availability for me, despite frequent checks.
It's not really all that hard to understand, it appears on the face of it to be supply and demand. There are a lot of people throughout America who love camping and not all that many sites at the popular locations relative to that demand. Has been this way for many years. I imagine the problem is likely particularly acute in places such as the Bay Area given the population density and climate, as well as the more popular National Parks like Yosemite, Yellowstone etc. If you haven't recently visited one of the major NPs at peak season you might be genuinely surprised how many people cram into these places.
I've taken recently to just booking whatever I can get - I often don't have much choice but to take what I can find that's actually available.
