Probably the same reason some people turn in at 10P and sleep until 8A. So much time wasted sleeping.
I for one have always turned out early from any vacation. For me it's a mental thing. On the last day, the vacation is over, time to move on.
I am one who does like to get home with time left in the day. I cannot turn in at night knowing there is food, drink, garbage in my Rogue. Heck if possible, I like to clean the weekends grime off the RV before plugging it in.
For me part of the trip is setting up and tearing down my RV.

I don't know and don't care why they pull out when they do. We pulled out yesterday about 11:30 a.m. Went home, had lunch, unpacked, did laundry, mowed the yard, did other work. Who knows, maybe those people had things to do also.

Most want to get home early so they can relax.Camping is tuff,what with campfires,grilling,getting up to get more beverages,BS'ng with the neighbors,ect.

I'm not a gone before the crack of dawn guy, but I'm usually out around noon. By then, I've done all I want to do and don't want to get sweaty or dirty for the ride home. I also take my time traveling as I've got two dogs who don't like being cramped up.
Also, Sunday is usually Nascar. While I have DVR, I HATE waiting too long to see the race. Once I know who the winner is, the race is much much duller. So Sunday night is usually watching the race.
Simple different strokes. How long it takes to unpack/unload and store the rig varies for everyone. But if you have a job you do not want to wait until 4:00 to start the process,just to be able to claim you got your full monies worth.
Those who are able to stay later great. great for those who left as well because they camped as long as there schedule allowed

When I pack up on sunday morning, I wonder why the other campers aren't
doing the same Then I think, mabey they don't have a lawn to mow, weeds to pull, mabey they don't have a house to clean.......

We generally are in no hurry to pack up on Sunday unless we are far from home. If we can get home by dinner time, that works for us. The DW and I try to get anything that we might have to do on the weekend done prior to the trip. Grass cutting, grocery, etc. are compelted during the week prior to the trip.
I do see the pack up right after breakfast and gone before lunch crowd often when camping but never concerned myself with it. Figured there were a multitude of reasons they left early, most of which are mentioned above. We kinda like the hanging around watching the parade of campers and relaxing taking our time to pack up after we finish lunch and burn the last of the firewood in a morning blase of glory! One of the benefits to camping within a few hours of home. We can finish a relaxing weeekend with no rushing and not dreading getting home to do a bunch of things before going to bed.

Hope your travels are safe and the friendships made camping are lasting.
Just me but it's my buissness when I leave. Just as long as I don't disturb my fellow campers while doing so is all I should have to worry about. It's called freedom!

I agree.
X3...I'm always perplexed by people that are perplexed by things that
really shouldn't concern them...they never seem too see logic in others actions....just say'n....
Then you REALLY must wonder when people pull out at 6:00am!
Us full timers and snow birds are on the road with the rest of you too you know. And yes many times we do sit and stay the weekend. We are just eager to get on the road and see what awaits us at our next RV'ing experience.
