Are you inferring that leaving the kids at home is OK (since the OP already stated he/she did) but at the campground is not?
What makes a neighborhood safer than a campground?
Why should they have "protection" in the camper but not at home?
It is ok at home because there is more to protect against someone beating down the door and you KNOW your neighbors or should. When you are camping you don't know the neighbors very well, even if you said hello and your trailer is safe but it's still a tin can that can be ripped apart. Plus you are in the middle of the woods and far from help if needed.
You should always have some kind of protection any where you go. At home at least you can run out the back door. Most campers don't have back doors, mine does.
Know your surrounding and us "YOUR" best judgement because you know your kids. I am giving my opinion on this.
