Outside camping lights
Campers, Please turn off your outside lights when you go to bed as a courtesy to other campers who would like to sleep with the windows open.

Leaving porch/scare lights on all night isn't a deterrent to crime any more than posting a "no guns allowed" in a business keeps out the armed robbers.
If it makes you feel better, good for you, but lighting up your camp site is an advertisement. If they can't see at midnight what they saw at noon you will likely hear them bumping around and be alerted. Just sayin...
Your signature photo is exactly why I want adequate outdoor lighting. NOT for use in campgrounds but out “boondocking” in the wilds, our usual routine. Before I let the dogs out for the pre-dawn pee I like to know if I need the pepper spray or 12-gage pump ;)
Wife and I have camped in campgrounds maybe 10 nights in the past 15 years. Some good and some bad. This thread has been educational! Since we plan more road trips.
