Let's put it another way to try and get a definite answer.
If there's a 200 site campground and all the sites are alike - no rivers, lakes, mountains, etc. They're all the same length of site and are all in the forest - no views. Say it's off season and there are only a handful of campers there.
So the question is, why would someone in the above circumstances, park right next door to another RV?
If they did, I think the real answer is because they need the security of people. People nowdays are used to being connected to others - all the social sites, Facebook, etc. and many constantly hold their phone in their hands checking their texts and waiting for it to ring. Folks seem to need ready access to people. That's my theory.
I think it is pretty much a known fact that humans are social creatures. Funny thing is.. camping humans, on average, sway the other way. ...sometimes. Other times, they park right next to you. It really is just that simple.
So, technically, the anti-people people are the exception. ...there are just more of this exception when camping.
Look where most people work - Jammed in with other people
Look where most people live - Right next door to other people
...school...
...sports...
...movies...
So camping is a surprise?!

SO, we cranked up the tunes (400 RMS watts available into 6 bodacious speakers), built a smoky fire upwind of them and cranked up the generator, which, given our solar panels, we rarely use, but boy did we use it that day ๐

There have been many replies indicating a belief that we are angry people. Not even close. There are VERY few things worth wasting the energy that anger engenders. Again, just saw someone the other day who was encroached upon and thought I'd throw it out there. Seems like it's stirred the pot a bit. ๐ As I also mentioned, we've only had to deal directly with the problem ONCE in 13 years because we pick our locations (and our battles) carefully. Seems like a good track record to us. Someone else asked why we bought an RV and have had the audacity to still be doing this fulltime 13 years later. Very simply, we are HAPPY and our life on the road has superseded anything else that went before. We do understand that this lifestyle isn't for everyone. We wish that others would stop embracing it! ๐
