I can understand the need for that sign. I was camped at a first come/first serve state park many years ago. It was a very popular campground with only a couple of empty sites in the middle of the day.
I witnessed two different sets of families(one in a mini-van and one in a full size van) come in around 1 pm and take the only two campsites that were empty at the time. They pulled out their table cloth, bbq, and lawn chairs, and cooked up lunch for about an hour and a half. Meanwhile, several people with RV's came through the loop and couldn't find an empty campsite, so they headed on down the road.
The vans had enough stuff sitting outside to make me think they were actually going to stay for the night, but after an hour and a half they both packed up their bbq and chairs and left. Now I know why the "no picnicking" signs came about.
