The Campground Driveby

It must be that we normally avoid the holiday weekends and typically arrive on the Monday for the week. This time we came early. Has anyone noticed the campers who evidently get great joy from riding around and around campground loop roads, over and over. I lost count with one guy at 47 passes over two days. Its not my gas or time, and I could care less what they do, but we're getting some good laughs watching these people riding around. Must be boredom or am attempt to show off the tow vehicle.

    LOL.....Except I dont think you have many people casing packed to the gills gated state park campgrounds in a 2018 GMC Denali dually, who have newer looking Grand Design Mobile Suites 5er about 40' long?
  • I really haven’t noticed that. Not sure why someone would go camping just to drive their truck around the campground. To each their own I guess!
  • You will find me making a loop of the campground 1-2-3 times per day...but on my bike. That's how I get my low impact exercise.

    But as far as driving around the RV park in the car? I think the only ones that do that generally are the camp hosts that are making sure people leave when they should, check on trouble spots, address maintenance issues. Maybe their golf cart was in the shop?

    BTW, I've discovered that with the exception of holiday weekends, Sunday afternoon is also a great day to arrive at a park. Everyone heads back home on Sunday leaving the parks mostly empty. So I often plan my stays so I travel on Sunday. If I can't, than I want to arrive at a park Tues-Thurs.

    Not this Labor day weekend of course, but generally.
