The only way someone like this will get the message is direct confrontation in a civil but firm manner. And if he starts to blow up at you again...just say "allright lets you and I go to the office right now and settle this issue with the management"....

My bet is he will stop at that point.

My bet is a guy who'd blow up at you for being asked not to walk through your spot would show/tell you where to stick it when asked to go to the office like an elementary student.

And that is when I spray him down with my garden hose.

That should teach him. Or get you punched.

Or your dump valve pulled. Or tire slashed. Or gas in tbe FW tank. Or water in the gas tank.

Your assumption is incorrect. You bought a short term use license and it has no rights of ownership. The owner of the property or agent of the owner or his designee has the exclusive rights of ownership The site you occupy is not subject your ownership in any form.

Fairly certain the question was in regards to people wandering across your site. You pay the rent on that site, you have rights to that site. The site and its boundaries are not common areas and are YOURS for YOUR property and guests. That doesn't give someone else a right to trample across your yard.

All the nonsense about physically assaulting people, or threatening with weapons is foolish nonsense. Grow up people. Is it camping time yet?

I have a somewhat similar situation with a piece of property that I own. It gets used as the convenient neighbourhood shortcut. As long as somebody asks & I know who is going through I generally don't mind.

Don't cross me though.

Had one neighbour who cost me quite a bit in legal cost battling an issue. He lost. Sometime after that he was hosting a party & told his guests that it was OK to park on my property since he has no room. Never asked me if it was OK.

I come home to find over 20 cars parked on my land. Broke that party up in a hurry. A little decency would have gone a long way otherwise karma is going to get you.

Actually, if you have a dog on your campsite, very few people will dare to pass through. The "yappier" they are, the more people stay away from your campsite.

I would worry that this gentleman is looking for things to swipe easily as he walks by under the guise of going to his boat.

What I do to help with space is to chain one of my "Pro Tuff" bins to the side of the rig where people are traipsing that shouldn't, and have the chain spray-painted reflective white so it is obvious that there is an item there.

I just put up some yellow police crime scene tape then spray paint the outline of a body under my awning. Most folks will go around after that.

Last summer I had reserved a space at a lake resort for a month, about an hour from home, where I'd go back & forth (spend 4-5 days at the lake, then go home for 2-3 and then back up). The spaces were so close together--I am a 'newbie'. If some folks pulled into their space with their motorhome, then our awnings were almost touching and we were 'face-to-face'. Might as well have been in someone else's living room. The biggest problem was with folks who didn't respect our space. We had a lakefront space, and the families next door figured that our space at the back (the lake) was theirs to walk right behind our trailer (like 2 feet away. Because of how the space was, there were huge old willow trees right next to the water, so our 6 feet at the back of the trlr wasn't level because of the tree. We had to put the picnic table behind the trailer, and these folks' kids would literally climb over our table to get to the dock!! We asked them politely to go up the to road (the front of the trlrs) and they looked like we were asking for the moon. We set up our floaties in the way and they walked over them!!! I was standing next to the water speaking to the nice folks on the other side, and here came the mom from the other side and actually pushed us aside to walk by to her campsite. I spoke to the management, but also was worried that those rude folks might do something to sabotage my trlr when I left it to go back to town. The mgr did speak to them and I later overheard them talking to their friends about how 'rude' I was. Another rude family brought 4 dogs--2 who'd never been camping before--and this was the 4th of July weekend! The poor dogs were so traumatized! They whined constantly, and then their owners did nothing but yell at them the whole time. I was sitting in a lawn chair with a fishing line in the water, and the woman threw a stick right over my pole/line for the dog to fetch! On my space! Some folks just don't have any sense of personal space! While that resort had a beautiful setting, I will never camp there again because of the too-small sites.

A couple of strategically placed lawn chairs and/or cooler usually deters the campsite crosser's.
