Swim suit driers are so inconsiderate?
It seems a lot of parks we've stayed in have rules against having a laundry line. Sure, I can imagine that someone, somewhere went way overboard, but for your average family in your average RV park...

I disagree. I do not think that the world of campers is full of a bunch of repressed laundry line nuts who- if there were just no rules- would go nuts and put out tons of laundry.
And I disagree with you as I have seen it a number of times. I don't think anyone minds swimsuits and towels, but as another said tidy whities kind of ruin the view. Can turn a beautiful campground into something very unsightly. Unfortunately "a few pieces on a line" will vary from person to person. Then you'd have to hire the "laundry police". So for the ease of the campground it's all or nothing.
There's another issue that's been overlooked-safety. I've actually seen fishing line strung between trees for those "few items". Completely invisible to the eye and a real safety hazard, especially if some kid goes whizzing through your site on his bike. Then there are those who leave the clothesline up "for the next guy" who might not want it. We always carried a folding clothes rack. Wound up in some weird spots on occasion (like the top of the table) but it was there if needed.
