I will admit to being one of those that like to check out a campground when I am in an area that I am visiting. I always stop by the office and ask If we can take a look, even at the state parks. There is no day use fee for state parks here in TN so anyone can come in and use them. I have not found it to be too big a problem when I have been camping anywhere we have gone. The bigger problem for me is people who cant drive slowly in the campground.
2X. Many campground maps are not to scale, and the site photos (if there are any) don't show some of the problems that may exist. A drive through the campground may be the only way to choose an acceptable site. My favorite was a New England campground that friends & I reserved next door sites (according to the map). Only problem was there was a playground between the sites that was not on the map. We were 150' apart...
