I'm staying at a local campground for Labor day. Very nice campground but they are a first come park no reservations. It's not unusual for people to look at your registration card to see when you are leaving.The DNR and campground host came by last night and pulled all registration cards off the site posts. Two campers had stick homes broken into and its believed thieves got their home address off the registration cards.Both live in the same city near here but not close to each other.Neither stored camper at home and didn't know each other.The cards will be changed so home address is removed.

Over the years we have been to numerous campgrounds that when the form was filed out, info, address etc. didn't copy thru to the copy that went on the post. We always blanked out the address if it did transfer especially if we were camping locally.

The NF CG's we stay at don't put all that on the site post cards, just name & dates. The card with all the other info stays in the attendant station.

Ga state parks only put last name and checkout date on site cards...
