Walking through campsites

Duplicate post, sorry.

I really this has deteriorated to the point where it needs to be closed.

Ha ha ha... Insurance salesman??? That's pretty close to the same level as lawyer in my eyes. Of course you are quick to point out potential liabilities... that's how you make money. No response to the tripping hazards, sharp corners, electric wires or anything else??? Come on, if you sold for 21 years you should be better than that!!!

I think a lot of it is newer campers. We camped as kids and no cutting through other's spots was drilled into us. Probably a good start on this would be this rule posted prominently among other rules. A friendly chat with offenders my be in order depending… I don't like it either but it is pretty harmless if it doesn't happen continuously. If it does some action is in order.

Litter was the thing being cleaned up when I was a kid. It was far worse than today. Many respectable citizens of my grandparents generation thought nothing of throwing stuff out of the car (born about 1900). I can't see any overall trend towards selfishness, people are just people. The good the bad..

Dog Folks, You are absolutely correct! :)

I used to think this on a lot of things, but I have now seen too many people from the older generations with the same entitled attitude that I think it is simply that people have forgotten that others are just as important as themselves.

That is a valid possibility also.

The world has moved on, and I am not sure it is better than 50 years ago.

It's about respect, privacy and manners. Period. These are all very basic values I (thought) all campers shared. I'm obviously incorrect.

I agree. Kids don't really know any better sometimes so that's not such a big deal but an adult should really know better than to invade someone else's privacy.

I'm sure some people don't really care if you cut through but lots of people do find it rude and that should take precedence.

You need to have a talk with your Attorney and get your facts straight. I don't care if you have your yard fenced and your viscous dog bites someone, you are liable. If you don't believe me, build a swimming pool, fence the area, and then have a kid sneak in and drown. Or better still, call your Insurance Agent and tell them you are housing a viscous animal. See how long they keep you as a client.

You know what, in this country you can be sued for serving coffee that is too hot. If I was worried about the potential for liability, I would never leave my house. Even then, I would be worried someone would call police or firefighter to check on my welfare and they might slip walking up my driveway to check on me and that would cause me to be sued.

What about the guy that walks through your campsite (because you don't have a problem with them doing that) and trips over your carpet? Or bangs his head against your slideout? Or stubs his toe on your chair.

I love internet lawyers. You guys are the best...
