I have only camped with other Canadians, and I've NEVER seen this before. If a neighbor did this in a campground, I would knock on their door and ask them to shut-off the lights. I've done it before when someone has left their outside yellow light on late at night when they are clearly not outside, or when they leave their xmas lights on around the awning. It is light pollution and I don't tolerate it well. I live in the woods, and we have zero light pollution at night, only the stars and the moon give any light. I consider it the same as excess noise at night, the intrusive light is no different.

Whooaa you ask people to shut of their lights when they arent out?? Do you monitor by time?? like I only have 5 minutes inside my trailer before you come knocking?? ;)

I can understand all night or after 11pm, I agree this is annoying. But before that, I see no problems with lights, whether they are awning, marker lights, solar lights, laterns or whatever. Sorry but I wouldn't turn my lights off before 11pm...

I use the 15 amp fuse on mine all the time, (unless I was dry camping) in Canada and the US.

I see no issue with it, just as annoying as awning lights, flags hanging all over, golf carts driving around, kids riding their bikes yelling at their friends, laughs around a campfire, a little sign out front of your trailer in the shape of your dog with your last name on it, or whetever else people put up at their camper.

Aren't we free to express ourselves and have fun at a campground? :h

I mean after midnight, I'm not concerned about lights when the majority of people are still moving around the campground.

We have Rangers that stop all music and any talking above a whisper at campfires after 11:00, no golf carts allowed, bikes must have all the lights / reflectors / bell's just like on the road since the campground roads are considered provincial highways (patrolled by our provincial police) so the kids typically are not out after dark.
