Camping Etiquette

Well everyone as you can tell by by profile, I seldom post topics, however, I appreciate all the knowledge I have gained from many of you so before I rant, let me start out by saying thank you.

This weekend we were at Ventura Beach RV Resort in Ventura, CA. The park was full. I cannot understand for the life of me why people cannot pick up after their animals when they do their business, and why they let them run free off their leash. We were preparing the RV to leave the park and a lady was walking here two dogs and let them take a poop right behind our space and did not pick it up.

On another note, why do people continue to walk through others spaces?

People need to learn to be more considerate of others.

Thanks for listening.

    I am a little more forgiving about walking thru my site. With the layout of some CG's, it's just hard to get from here to there without takeing the long way around.
    . This is pretty much what we do. When I see the people walk away from the poop, I ask them if they need a bag, then I give them one and watch them pick up. We rarely walk thru other sites, but don't say anything to others as it's not often it happens; and most are kids.
  • 1. It's the 'all about me' attitude.

    2. The rules are for other people.

    3. And, you can's fix rude/stupid.

    These three simple rules may help you understand why some people do what they do.....
  • As I tell my kids often, with all the atrocities in the world I wouldn't worry too much about this.
  • We have two dogs. We do cleanup after them. We have a container that we keep all our plastic shopping bags in. We use them to cleanup after the dogs. I have been known to chase a fellow dog owner down to give them a bag because they have obviously forgotten theirs. It is amazing how many people do not cleanup after their pets. Rant on!!!!
