Golf Cars in Campgrounds
The campground we are currently in has been over run by golf cars. They started coming in yesterday. Triple tows, trucks w/ trailers following motorhomes, motorhomes towing....pretty much everything. ...

I have to ask Dennis, what campground are/were you at when you saw all the golf carts?
Most of the campgrounds we go to in South Louisiana have lots of golf carts. It's not a status symbol, and no one seems to be annoyed with them. It's a fun way to get to meet new people and spark up a conversation. Every CG I've been to has enforced speed limits and age restrictions on golf carts, and I've never heard of anyone being run down by one. Now I know some of you grumpy people would rather listen to a generator with a busted muffler than have to actually talk to your camping neighbor (good grief!), but for the rest of us it's just fun. I'm also very aware that I could stand to lose 20 lbs, but camping for us is about relaxing and letting loose. To each his own, life is too short to complain about what someone else is doing when it has little to no affect on you. As a previous poster said, if you don't like this sort of thing I'm sure there is another CG nearby that will better suit your tastes.
By the way, none of this is directed to the OP. He did not seem to be intolerant of people using golf carts, he was making an observation. He even mentioned that some of them were quite interesting to him. Well to the OP, if you ever see a lifted grey metallic golf cart cruising by your campsite, stop me and say hello. I'll take you for a ride and even let you drive. :B
