This may sound silly, but I am currently camping and one neighbor cuts across my site while he is going and coming from his boat.It is not that he is cutting through BUT when he does, he is within 2 feet of my camper door and within 4 feet of us sitting there talking.I struck up a conversation with him and during this conversation asked if he would mind crossing the campsite a little further back from our camper. At that point he stormed off and said kiss my a..Anybody have a simialr experience and if so were you able to resolve it?

You've done all that you could, resolution not to your satisfaction. I've seen campers put up tape, a rope line, portable fencing or string lights to mark out what they want to claim as their territory, and this works for most folks.I tend not to worry about this, as a campsite in a public park is not really my property, and I am not entitled to "No Trespassing" claims, which even on your own property require signage and boundary marking, and violations must ultimately be resolved in civil court.

Mark it off with crime scene tape. Never really had that issue with a grownup. He clearly hasn't met anyone with determination.

Start hanging your laundry on a strategically placed clothesline.

When I hear these types of stories, I try and picture the layout and configuration of the park. Is it an RV park where many of the residents are full time, or is it a spacious campground full of people fishing and having fun.

And by that statement one could assume that OP should just deal with it. Well, he is renting the spot and doesn't want some schmuck walking through it. Believe it or not, not everyone is social nor do they really enjoy their paid-for-space being invaded.

In some situations, I put out my rope lights around our campsite, and set up my chairs, tables and grill in such a way to obstruct the path to others. We also carry a folding pen for out small dog, so sometimes we set that up across the path also. Makes it all easier to go around.
