People are for the most part almost (especially newer campers) totally ignorant of some of the basic campground etiquette procedures. One being, "park at least ONE site away from other campers if open sited permit".
Dude, you're making this up. I've been camping for more than 40 years and have never heard of such a thing. Folks need to use common sense. If I pulled into a park where there was an obvious gathering of friends I would not set up camp next to them. However, if there is someone camping near something that I desire to camp near, such as a lake, or is not near something I don't want to camp near, such as a dump station or dumpster, I'm not going to avoid camping at the next site over just because they may be a curmudgeon. As far as cutting through sites or having dogs, etc, well often there are written rules regarding these things, not just some perceived unwritten expectation.
