There are 2 types of campers we've noticed lately.
There's those that enjoy the outdoors & all that Mother Nature has provided, pick up after themselves & their pets (everyone has at least 1 pet), & are willing to help others around them.
The other group, which gets larger every weekend, shows up & thinks the ENTIRE park is theirs from the time they arrive until they drive out leaving trash, dog poop, old bbq grills & whatever else they don't need/want anymore behind. The whole time the kids running through everyone's sites with the dogs running/barking behind them, no respect for anyone else. Then at dark they build a huge campfire at each site stinking up the whole park, playing music loudly til the wee hours of the morning. Then they show up in the bathhroms/showers, if you didn't use the facilities Friday afternoon before they all arrived, forget using til late Monday after the poor workkampers have had a chance to scoop out the big stuff & hose it down. Never have understood writing on the bathroom walls with poop?? The worst part is it's not all kids doing it???
Since we've went fulltime we try to find 55+ parks (some of which are not much better) or non kid oriented parks. We're too big for most state/national parks.
Sorry to be so long winded, but that's my "grumpy ole' fart" take on the campgrounds of today.
