We're on our first camping trip to the Northeast; Conneticut, Massachusetts, New York, etc. While walking around the CG's, I found campers were not as friendly or social as I am accustomed to in my other camping trips. In New York while meeting someome while walking, they usually kept looking straight ahead, some ignoring my greeting. I even showered and brushed my teeth, so I know it's not me. The campers I met that were social were from out of state. For those of you that normally camp up here, is this the norm?

We're campingin NY right now, and while not alot of people are out because of how hot it is, those that have been out have been friendly. Also found that to be the case in Mass as well.

Don't let it get you down. I posted a similar expedience back in June only I was in California. I think that you and I being southern born and raised, we tend to expect that southern hospitality every where we go. It just doesn't happen.

You all know I seldom do this, but this one is going to be shut down. The reason is it could quickly degenerate into a state bashing thread. There are courteous and not so courteous people in every state/nation. To stereotype a state or nation is inappropriate and counter productive purpose.
