The park rangers have to deal with it. They make the rounds after check-out time, find an empty tent, then they put it in storage. They could charge you for this.....
"Camping equipment is not permitted to stay on site once the stay is over, after checkout or 11am whichever comes first. Abandonment of equipment will result in the removal of all items. Patrons are responsible for picking up their equipment and
may be charged for storage. Per NYS Parks Rules & Regulations, Part 374, Lost Articles (and return thereof), equipment “...shall be turned over to a member of the State park police or ... (if not available)...”, to “an employee of the office”...(which can be any employee at the campground,) ... “and a receipt shall be issued”.

I guess if you pay in cash they can't charge it back on your credit card...
