Camping Altercations?

We have never really had an issue. But, when we are camping we are on vacation or just relaxing. So very easy for me to just walk away and not let something get to me. The drive there can test my patience but the second we pull in it is like the weight of the world has lifted.

why is it that you two can make this much differece

Ok, after reading these stories, does anyone still wonder why there are class A-only resorts with 10 year age limits on motorhomes?

Based on some of the last comments I am glad I have never been to the Class A only 10 year rule resort. Like they somehow never do such things? I would rather live in the real world than live in an imaginary world where I think I am somehow better than others.

I'm sure to them that is the real world. Sanitized for your protection.

Any story that starts with that opening line has endless potential.

Not an altercation, but we witnessed a crazy scene when I was camping with my family as a kid.

We were camping in our popup and there were some tent campers on the site next to us. They were using kerosene to get their fire going and one of the females in the group caught herself on fire. She was screaming and running around and finally fell to the ground and and the guys helped smother the fire. She was burned pretty bad and had to be taken to a hospital.

I thought of this story last fall when I was using gasoline to help start a fire. ;)

But if you have to, buckle up and wear a cup. They run with a tough crowd. LOL.

In my tent camping days, I was at a state park campground and once set up, saw some hunters walking by my campsite with rifles, didn't think anything of it, until I heard a gunshot that was way too close. So not having a gun, I waited to see if they walked by again when leaving. When they did, I went up to them and started a friendly conversation about guns, and how "my" .45 that I always carry is such a beast....blah, blah, blah. OooooDidn't have a gun, but just wanted them to think twice in case there was any thoughts of illegal activities..... Sometimes it isn't what you see, its what you DONT see..... After that never had any "close" calls, I know someone that has the sound of a round being chambered in a 12 guage shotgun... He said he played it once when he had someone poking around his tent one night

No doubt. I have never had "altercations" in my years of camping. I did pack up our gear and go home one night early once in our tenting days because of 3 or 4 sites around us of what seemed to be family and friends camping together who were just generally too loud, obnoxious and annoying. That's the only time another camper has affected my camping enjoyment. Ever.

Now that I'm in the TT I can get away from that at night so while it would still be somewhat annoying it wouldn't send me home.
