So next time pick a place with larger sites if you can't deal with someone camping next to you.
I can DEAL with someone next to me, it just boggles the mind that with this many empty sites, and with so many on either side of me, people would keep picking the ones on either side of me.
One time we were boondocking out in the Mojave Desert with a bunch of dirt biking friends. About 14 rigs in all. We give each other space, at least 20-30 feet between rigs. The group was getting so big we didn't all know each other. A rig pulled next to one of our buddies and started setting up within about 5 feet! Nobody recognized him. We first wanted to make sure he was one of us, and then let him know to spread out. Turns out he was with a group about 1000 yards away! Just thought our area looked nicer! LOL
We gently asked him if he could at least give us some space between rigs. He said he was sorry and just wasn't thinking, and moved back to his group.
I guess maybe it is this "herding" mentality. I just think unless the place is crowded you give some courtesy and leave at least a space between rigs.
Maybe jfkmk is the one who just pulled in next to me! :S
