I don't disagree. I'm sure a LOT of campgrounds happily look the other way, or don't even realize. And I'm sure there are many dogs who quietly sleep the day away.
I just think it's important for folks to understand WHY these rules are in place, the risks, however slight, if they disregard the rules, and that just because Joe Blow jumps off a cliff doesn't make it a good idea for you to do the same.
Similarly, if someone posted asking if it was OK to drink alcohol in an dry campground, I would say "skip the alcohol" or pick another campground. If they choose to ignore the rule, fine that's on them. But they won't be doing based on me saying "it's no big deal".
Heck, you never know if the campground had a huge issue with alcohol just the week before and decides to be hardnosed about it as a result. And that person to whom you said "it's no big deal" ends up having their five generation family reumion ruined because they figured it was OK to have a quiet glass of wine before bed and the campground staff saw it and kicked them out.
