Oh that's such a good point. It does seem strange, but we've been afraid to get to know "neighbors" just in case they would know when we would be gone and put our rig at risk. After your comment, though, maybe we're looking at this all wrong? Perhaps we need an attitude shift! Perhaps we'll enjoy the experience much better if we knew there were people helping look out for our site while we were gone. Great perspective!
I don't mean to sound odd, but have you camped before? The first thing I usually do after setting up is to introduce myself to the immediate neighbors. Considering we are usually all of maybe 20 feet away from each other anyways, may as well get to know them at least on a polite basis. Also helps on figuring out hookups if the power and water posts are shared.
If you end up at a campground where you feel uncomfortable, you can always go on down the road!
I would definitely make sure the campground office has a cell phone number they can call if something happens to your camper while you are away.
