No, it's not usually perceived as being ok to walk through another person's site. I always speak/greet if someone does walk through my site. I do this to be friendly as well as to let them know I'm aware of their presence. But honestly, I do hope that some of the responses I have read here are greatly embellished or have never actually happened.

I don't make it a practice of walking through sites and have asked permission to do so, but have 911 on speed dial if I do "trespass" and the site occupier sprays me w/water....I'm not a violent person but.....

Last time we camped was about 2 weeks ago. Sites are about 40x40. You have a the CG road in front of your site, a site directly behind you and their CG road in front of their site.

The people behind us would come back in their truck and then park heading IN to their site. When they wanted to leave they would simply drive forward, through the very edge of our site to leave. I think it's rude, but I assume their reasoning was so they didn't have to back up and possibly hit something or someone in the CG road.

I never walk into another campers site but after they pulled through our site a few times I had no qualms about cutting through their site to take a much more direct path to the bathroom.

this is true.

I feel a little weird and lazy walking across a vacant site, can't imagine cutting across an occupied one.

This happens to use once in a while and I just want to set up a fence sometimes. Once we had kids from the trailer next to us pull out our cable wire and then our extension light wire.

I don't walk thru occupied sites. I don't like it when someone walks thru mine, but it is a minor issue. The guy that tied up his large dog to my picnic table, "chasing" my wife and daughter into the MH is another story.

I would rather have someone walking through every ten minutes than to
have to breath the fumes from a campfire thirty feet away!

Newbie to RV'ing here, so please be gentle, but I have an honest question. We have a bathroom in our TT, but at times we choose to visit the campground facilities (showers,etc). We have only been to a few cg's, but have noted that the bathrooms are not always centrally located. This begs the question: should we stick to the circuitous road and walk a half mile to the bathrooms, or is it ok to politely ask the campers if we can cross to reach the facilities? When we do cross, we always ask first (though now I'm wondering if even that is rude to do) and we always stick to the farthest boundary of their site. Never up close to anyone, that just seems like an invasion of privacy.


No, no and no. There are roads up and down all CG's and the correct way to go anywhere in a CG is to USE THE ROAD it's really just that simple.

What I have found, is over the years the nature of the camper themselves has changed. 10, 15 years ago we didn't have campers not following CG rules, we didn't have campers in our face over 'asking' them to follow CG rules, etc. Today many seem to have the attitude they can and will do whatever they want while RV'ing/Camping in Cg's.

And, If my calculations are right these type of campers are the children now grown, from the generation where the parents starting parenting with the attitude of allowing their children to be free spirits and not teaching them respect for others or anything for that fact that would prepare them on how to be part of society. I stopped visiting many of my friends that had children during this time where they let their kids run wild and say whatever they wanted to adults. I often wondered what the world was going to be like when these brats grew up, I don't have to wonder anymore.

on the other hand my 100lb German Shepherd will greet them and say hello! then again he will keep the wildlife away, which will be an issue with other people!


Funny you mention this as that is what I have been thinking while reading this topic, then again we have been out with friends and with 4 100+ lb Shiloh Sheperds and a Chow (we show them and often camp while going to shows) we have had people try to cut between our trailers! Well maybe now with 5 Shilohs and our old Chow people might think twice?
