Campground host in a National Forest, no cell service, no phone, no radio. First week we were there, two drunks fighting each other in the middle of the night, knives wielded. Walked up the road to where we had cell service, called our boss and sheriff. Took a couple of hours, but they eventually responded and took them away.
As a CG host that summer, used tact and diplomacy more than anything else. I would approach rule-breakers with this statement: "Look friend, I'm not here to enforce the rules. I'm just the 'reminder', not the 'enforcer' - BUT, I have the 'enforcers' on speed dial, so if I have to....." Worked almost every time. When it didn't, used that speed dial.
