If I rent a space, I have the right to limit the traffic through it too. What should I do if someone suddenly starts putting up a pup tent on my space?
At a restaurant I have the right to limit who sits at my table when eating.
Apples and oranges has no bearing on my space rental.

There is no sign on the vacant chair at my restaurant table that you can not just sit down and make yourself at home.There is no sign on my rental car that you can't drive it. There is no sign on the door saying I should hold it open folr the little old lady right behind me instead of letting it slam into her...Do we REALLY need a sign to tell us everything?
When I PAY for a site, I am paying for the exclusive use of it. Would it be okay of the guy in the tent next to you ran an extension cord over to your hookup and tapped off your hose? If he ASKED I might let him, but...
If it was a big deal don't you think it would be written in most campground rules? I think it's being blown way out of proportion. So what, someone cuts through the campsite your parked on. To me it's a minor issue, to others they lose sleep over it.
No, I don't think it would be written into the campground rules... If they tried to print a rulebook covering everything including campground manners the book would be the size of the yellowpages, and t=your site would cost $150 a night. It's not a "Big Thing" with me-- no bigger than saying "Please" "Thank You" and "You're Welcome" It's just manners.

The grassy/wooded/sandy areas between the campsites are considered 'common grounds' and accessible to anyone; regardless of it being 'polite' or not. I suggest you ask the campgrounds in which you participate the same question. Keep in mind that was the response at one campground.
Funny, most people completely ignored what an actual CG, this one a COE, considers the actual rented spot and their stance on it. In this CG you wouldn't have a leg to stand on in the OP's case in telling someone not to cut through, except for the beer spitting of course.

A COE campground with huge sites, very widely spaced is one thing, a KOA is another. WHile I might look askance at someone crossing the boundry of my site in one, I would certainly not be happy with them in the other.
not because of cut-thru but I am geared at state parks more and more. In the beginning it was more commerical cgs. Even tho I enjoyed the heck out of them then, I am shying away from them. As I get older I don't want to be packed in like a sardine and have someone's septic connection 4 ft. from my picnic table and awning. We frequent Ocean Lakes alot. We loved it and had fun. Now you can't get me to go back. Not because of anything other than it became a camper parking lot to me. Sites just too close.
along with state parks I am going to get my feet wet into boondocking. oh yes, next adventure
you pack ALOT of people in a very very tight crowded space, breach of manners and other little things are going to happen. just the way it is and it won't change. So while that is a truth, I have decided to change how I camp.

That's the problem with common courtesy these days -- it's becoming so uncommon. Sad. (The same thing can be said about common sense, as well!)
