While camping at the Flag ranch RV park in South Yellowstone, a neighbor in a big fifth wheel started his gas powered leaf blower to clean his outdoor carpet.I couldn't figure out what that awful noise was at first until I saw him using it. He would do this two to three times a day.Several other campers were complaining and some of us went to the registration booth to complain.They went by three times to tell him to stop using it...which he finally did.I couldn't believe how he didn't think it was annoying to hear that god-awful noise from early in the am to night.

I can only wonder why he could not use a electric model that is only about 1/4 the noise! Why the compulsion to keep the campsite pristine? You are camping to relax!I guess they do not understand. Fred.

We do that ourself when camping... Our blower however is battery powered...Momabear is always sweeping outside the camp area with a broom too hehe...Nothing worse then tracking in dead leaves...We also use one of those high dollar CW folding steps which has a HD GRATE on its top. You can stomp that pretty good before entering the trailer...Roy Ken

we use a electric model in the late morning every couple of days. From start to finish it may be on for one minute or less. We are battling sand. sounds like a bored camper and a clean freak...lol

This is what we bring camping to clean off the rug in front of our door...:)

If you go to the beach there is sand, if you go in the woods there are trees. Why would you try to make nature look like an art gallery?

I sympathize with you, I bought the smallest electric I could find to clean the garage at the S&B, have to wear hearing protection on low speed.

On the road I just shake the entry mat frequently and vacuum as directed by the Queen Mum.

broom every now and then.

bringing a leaf blower camping to me is crazy. I just don't see the need. Another annoying gadget to have to pack somewhere. Some would literally bring their kitchen sink from their home if they could :)
not us, we go lite.
