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.
Well see there Nvr2loud thats the answer!!! You are from Canada!!! WE (Americans) enjoy technology as in LED lights and FUN things!!! I Don't live in the woods I live in the CITY!!! There are lights on ALL the time!! And it makes me feel like HOME when I have a light on!!!
So I will make you a promise!! You stay in Canada and camp and I will Stay in the USA and camp!!! Fixed!!! See we can get along!!!
To me a light is no big deal!! Burn it,, your paying for it!!
I am a thoughtful camper though!! I will turn down my Sinatra and Martin after 10 PM,, But If I have a Flyers game on or my strobe,running lights and my LED step ,lights on,,, well then I figure its all good to leave them going for as long as I please!!! And if some one doesn't agree we can talk!!! After all,, the most I'll get is a five minute sit in the penalty box eh???
