Campgrounds Etiquette

I know this is a dead horse but I found my stick to beat it. Should campgrounds have basic etiquette guidelines printed on their maps and handouts? We have been to some State Parks here in Texas that do. I guess it just bugs me when people come walking through my camp site. I watched a man set a bunch of tents up yesterday. The largest tent was set up behind a camp site that was in use. The people just took over that section of the camp grounds as their own. The park staff stopped by and warned them but they ignored the warning. The poetic justice came this morning with a Texas monsoon shower that showed the need for a rain fly even in clear skies. Welcome to Texas.
  • Well my two cents: People will be people. We can't expect everyone to live by our standards and we have to live around them. Folks that are inconsiderate sometimes don't realize that they are. Just like the guy that is running a noisy generator or playing loud music. They may not be aware is is a nuisance to us. Me, if it is really annoying, affecting me or impeding my space, I kindly ask for that to be turned down, or limited use etc. Even when we are in a place that allows generators and there is good distance, and our honda is quiet, i keep my music low but i always ask the adjacent camper if it is an issue please let me know. If we practice how we like to be treated, then maybe it will filter to the rest of the world. Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !
