I have consecutive one-night reservations at the tent camping starting Sat, Jan 29 and ending Fri, Feb 11 (so checkout Saturday)
When I made the reservations our plans were fuzzy on the dates, and I also thought we might want to do a split-stay with some camping and some hotel. Plan was to join together the days that we actually kept, once I our plans were firm. I also made CBR and Windsor Hills reservations. Well, another option fell into our laps. A good friend of mine just bought a house about an hour away, so free-ish, and invited us to visit and stay while we go to Disney. Our dates are also firm now.

Plan A: is to keep three non-consecutive nights for ourselves. Throw up a pop-up tent and just crash at the site to save the round-trip drive.

Plan B: See if another family would like to use the campsite. and have the names of both groups on the reservation. There are three of us, so 7 people could be added. With this plan, we wouldn't use the campsite except to maybe park our car there a few times during the day on MK days. I looked at past threads and it seems that weird rules were wanted. Only rules I'd want would be whatever Disney has. Since we have one-night reservations, they can be combined as convenient. I give this a low probability of interest, but the sites are sold-out so I thought I'd offer.

Plan C: assuming no one wants to do Plan B I'll eventually just cancel either all the nights, or the ones we don't use in Plan A. If someone wants to be informed before I do that, tell me the dates you want and we can coordinate a time. For example, I already know based on our friend's plans that the first night, last night and both Wednesday nights we will be at her house.
 
You don't mention if your offer in option B will be free to whomever might take you up on your offer, @shawthorne44, but if you planned to ask them to split the cost then that's sub-letting your "hotel room" which I'm pretty sure is not legal/allowed.

So you're left to your own plans in options A and C.

Reading this post sent me into time travel mode on the way-back machine to 2008. Somebody posted that they were looking to sub-let a campsite from a DIS camper for day-use only but they dictated strict terms and conditions. (so it's coming at option B from the opposite angle) It's a funny read if you have the time.

Good ol' Kinghorse. I remember it because it was so funny.

PS - I wouldn't put anyone I didn't know well personally on my reservation but that's just me. :confused3
