I've noticed a marked increase in lack of camping etiquette over the last couple of years and I seldom get my panties knotted up over what others are doing but I've had some recent experiences that really hit a nerve.
Earlier this year a guy a few sites down at a PA state park had the largest bug zapper I have ever seen. He left that thing on 24/7, and this was in a wooded mountain campground about 1/4 mile from a lake, so there was no shortage of bug fuel and it was a constant zap that could be heard over the entire loop. I had thought of making a 3AM raid with a pair of wire cutters but someone must have turned him in to the ranger for disturbing the peace, as when I came back one day he had bugged out 3 days earlier than his reservation tag showed.
The same trip a couple in a brand new Airstream who never left it, just had to leave their aircraft landing light caliber LED porch light on from dusk to dawn, which was in a pull through and faced our site across the road. It literally made our site and the ones to each side like daytime all night long. When politely asked if he could please shut it off when not needed he went into a profanity laced rant about it being a free country and he could do whatever he pleased. Probably a good thing they left the next morning as a few open cans of sardines may have been advertantly placed under his rig, for the local skunk and coon population to feast upon.
Last year there was a group of Yahoo's on 2 sites with half a dozen tents, who had a full size fridge which they placed next to the power pedestal. I guess that's not a rule violation so it lasted a few days until they had the huge drunken argument and family fight at 2 AM. One of the women was passed out drunk on the floor of the shower house lol. The entire group was made to pack up and get out by the rangers which took until 6AM.
