Why do people not follow camping ettiquette? Do you really feel it is ok to walk through someone's site as they are sitting there eating breakfast? Is it ok to allow your dog onto someone else's site? I ask because this is driving my wife crazy. Honestly, after our most recent weekend, it's really getting on my nerves. I don't mind the kids so much as they are kids and a game of manhunt doesn't call for ettiquette. However, the adults that just walk through your site as a short cut and dump a beer can or cigarette butt on the way are just, well, pigs. My wife has seen this at every campground we've been too, and now I notice it. We aren't the cranks, hell, I'll be the first one to invite you by for a beer, but hey is this a fair practice or just bad manners.

I agree with you, but it's really an unwritten law . I guess it's just proves that person's thoughtlessness. You don't want to become one of those "campground police" and point it out to the violators. Every campground has those.

Just plain bad manners. Some are pigs, some were just never taught. No hope for the former. The latter might learn if you say something.

I want to make a sign. "Next time you cut through my campsite, you go around" with a Portuguese flag on it. If you don't understand don't worry... Ita a Portuguese thing.

Recently stayed in a State Park - don't mind the kids as we were parked with the back of the Rig to the playground (and we expected them to run through)... but the adults, adults with animals, walking right up/past the picnic table while we ate lunch. Several other sites had placed their cars parallel to the road and put signs on their cars telling people it was not a pass through.

Some people are just plain rude, period.
