Is this common?

In my original post, I used the pet situation as an example. However, the point was the fact that I noticed that the "all about me" attitude mentioned by another poster seems far more common in a campground setting than I expected before starting camping. I realize that is the direction society seems to be heading. I travel ALOT for my job, all around the country (135 nights last year). I've also traveled a lot for pleasure, visiting most of the national parks by train or plane (with a rental car). Other than sitting in a plane, my limited experience camping to date has been worse than my other travels, and it is a bit disheartening. Fortunately, based on the input I am seeing here; it looks like perhaps I've just been experiencing some bad luck.

Sorry if it seemed like I was making an issue about dogs in a campground. It's not the dogs, it is the owners who choose to ignore rules for their own convenience at the expense of others. That is what I was trying to highlight with my experience.

Don't take this the wrong way, but it is possible you're being a little too sensitive? One thing you have to remember about RV parks is they can kind of be like city living even if they are in a rural area. And what I mean by that is often your next door neighbor is only 10 feet away (sometimes less). If you're used to living in a place where the neighbor is 100 feet away or even a mile or more away, then you just may not be used to staying in an RV park. When you're only 10 feet from your neighbor you're going to hear their TV and their kids and their conversations and they're going to hear you. You have to learn to be more tolerant of things when you're that close to each other.
