Camping pet peeve

Oh, my real pet peeves is cigarette smoke. I'm allergic! I don't mind you smoking but please be considerate of which way the wind is blowing when you smoke so you don't have it blowing in my face or you may end up taking me to the nearest hospital.

A pen of yapping dogs
A fire pit between my camper and the neighbors
Plastic training wheels on bikes

Things that doesn't bother me?
dog poop....I can walk around it or pick it up myself
garbage in a fire pit - I'm not going to use it anyway
People walking through my site? I can flash them once and that takes care of the weekend.
Drunks??? I can learn to drink too

When camping in public campgrounds, I think campers are forgetting that they do not own the campground, especially the site they are on. Walking through a campsite on the outskirts is sometimes the only way to quickly get to a bathroom they way most of them are set up. Not everyone has the money to have a fancy facility in their own rv. IMO, comparing it to your home or your motel room, doesn't make much sense. I cut through campsite quite often when in the campground, but I do not stare in your windows and I do not cut through if you are sitting out eating. I keep to the side so as not to disturb anything. I think the campgrounds themselves should have set up walkways throughout the campground to get to the bathrooms, club houses, etc. I am respectful of others property which includes your camper, bikes, or whatever else you might have laying out, BUT the ground I'm walking on is not yours. Just my opinion and I realize that it is not shared. I'm just being brave today! AND PS Our last camping trip, my husband had injured his knee and was using a cane. There was no way I wanted him walking all the way around the outskirts of the whole campground with a bum leg just to get to the bathroom. So we walked through your rented site.

I have peeves, but this is my most notable:

Checking in to a completely booked CG, finding someone in your campsite, going back with the camp host, finding the guy occupying it says he is too drunk to hitch up and go, so the CG might as well give him a free night. At least the camp host refunded my money.

My suggestion is when you drop yourself into a large group of people which you do not know and are of varying levels of education,wealth and ideals that you leave your pet peeves at home.....relax

Oh, come on... you can't tell me that there aren't extremely rude, extremely annoying people that don't occasionally get your goat.:h
Makes me wonder if you've every camped in a national forest campground where a dozen or so natives show up with a cage of beer or two, crank their music up so the whole county can hear it and get loud and hollar and carryon until two a.m. Probably you haven't. You probably only stay in nicely controlled RV parks.

People complaining about me walking through their campsite. Actually the inability to relax and just enjoy the experience because I am stressed about work. Time is one of those things you can never get back, don't squander it.

Let's not forget the kids on pedal toys with plastic wheels. Nothing else seems to make that much noise

My biggest camping pet peeve is somebody walking thru my campsite....what is yours so I will make sure not to do it.

Not trying to cause an argument, just curious why you care if they walk through?

Would you care if someone walked thru your hotel room?? Same thing imo....or if people walked thru your backyard?
