We stayed this weekend at Allentown KOA. This is not a bad little campground except for almost all of the sites face each other. I understand the logistical end of doing this since it does give a bigger space between them. However, there is no privacy.

Their privacy is based on you looking the other way, just like any other time people share a area.

Even worse if the people across from you decide to have at least 30 people come to dinner. They moved 2 tables from other sites.

Couple times a year my family meets up for a meal. And I have seen many others do it. 30 around for supper, and clean up is normally not the problem a half dozen for drinks can be. If the tables where put back, what is the problem?

We had people try to sit at our fire, in our chairs, a kid try to play with our sons toys on our table and even some lady ask me why I was sitting at my table. Apparently, she thought I was her husband.

You and more likely your son missed a chance to make friends. Let the kids play. Instead of complaining to management, or asking them to leave, turn evangelist, or .....

Truly losing common sense and basic camping etiquette. Done ranting.

And our ability to accept others.

it forces you to drink more.

the campground should have never allowed that many people to be on one site...oh well, it is over.

Campground? When I see "KOA" I think "RV park"

You hit the nail on the head. A KOA is NOT a campground, despite the moniker. Sounds like your neighbors had a blast. Were they raising hell past quiet hour? Did they take one of your tables? Not seeing a problem here myself. Maybe they should have invited you for dinner...
