Etiquette in Camping

I think it really is largely a case of ignorance of the (unwritten) rules. My husband grew up in a camping family and learned the rules early on, and passed them on to me when he got me into camping after our marriage; it's a big pet peeve of mine when other campers flagrantly violate what I know to be rules of good behavior - but I'm also sure that most of them were not taught correctly when they started camping. (Probably started on their own as adults, with no one to teach them.) Second Chance, that sounds like a good way to approach the problem; you probably increased understanding on the part of several individuals (and perhaps an entire group), with a minimum of hostility.
