About campground etiquette? Unless you run into a real jerk of a person, most fellow campers will not invade your world, unless you are truly distressed, the most will proceed with great caution and help you evaluate your situation.

Here's a true story. Several years ago we were camping at Raccoon State Recreation area near Rockville, Indiana. The in-laws were with us and my father-in-law locked his keys in his truck. PANIC! As we were all struggling with the truck, the neighbor camper (right across the road) came over and introduced himself. He made some small talk which opened the way a little and then he finally laid it on us .... he said he was a lock-smith! OH MY GOSH! He had all the tools, everything. He had the door open in 15 seconds! Now that's what I'm talking about.
