There are a number of locks and chains available now that are, for all practical purposes, uncuttable. The basic design concept common to all is layers of different materials -- hard and soft metals, ceramics, synthetics, and plastics. Any cutting blade that slices through one layer will have difficulty with the next layer of a dissimilar material. With enough time you could eventually cut it, but thieves will move on if it takes more than a few minutes.
Time is the thief's enemy. Slow him down even a small amount and he loses interest in that particular target.
Besides -- anyone walking around a campground carrying a cutting tool automatically raises red flags, just as anyone driving slow through a campground eyeing every site.
