An 850 site park and yet you say there are only 50 available sites, so they really didn't have much choice. Earlier you said that there were only 80 or so rigs in the park, meaning that there was actually around 770 empty sites, so which was it? If there was 770 empty sites and they chose an undesirable site a 1000 feet away from you, maybe the answer is you and the other occupants of the park. Maybe the looks of the locals (you say you go there often)
Never said that we go here often. In fact we have been here only 4 times in 13 years. You wouldn't catch us anywhere near here from June through August.
is off-putting to new arrivals and they seek the security of staying next to a safer or quieter looking camper. Or maybe they chose that site to be assured that at least on one side of them circus won't be setting up camp.
Park next to me in the middle of the desert and the circus WILL arrive!

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be

If the spot is open and I want to park in it I do not even consider weather or not you want to be alone. That is not an option as I paid for a site and for what ever reason I like it. I mean no harm.
You do have choices. Boondock in the middle of nowhere.
These people that park close to you are not criminals they choose a spot for many reasons. Close to restrooms, close to trail head, close to water, close to dog park or god forbid they just choose it randomly and do not put as much thought into a site as you do.
By the way we do know how to leave people alone but you will get a hello or good morning from me every time I see you. That is the way I was brought up.

We are fulltimers beginning our 14th year this month. We move around frequently rather than claiming FT status because we sit in one spot in an RV
We have repeatedly noticed the following phenomena:
We are currently in an 850 site park in southern CA in the mountains. It is one of our favorite places ever, not least of because at this time of year, it's very lightly used. The views and the wildlife are magnificent. At this writing, only about 80 of those sites are occupied. Which brings me to my query.
We deliberately park as far away from others as we can in public venues. We're friendly but not social.
