Camping Responsibility

I pose this question to all of you.
True or False? You are responsible for your own pleasant camping experience AND you are responsible for the pleasant experience of the other campground guests.
The campground owners and staff can only do so much, it is up to each camper to be courteous and respectful.
- Do not litter on your site or anywhere around the campground.
- Don’t burn toxic materials, like styrofoam or plastic
- Pick up after yourself and your family in the restrooms. It only takes a second to wipe up some splashed water/soap on the sink counter.
- Teach your children that is it not acceptable to run through other occupied campsites.
- Keep the music on your own site. If you can hear your music playing on a neighboring campsite, then it is too loud! Turn it down!
- Fireside conversations after quiet hour can sound very loud to neighbors trying to sleep. Be courteous and extinguish your fire by the specified time in the campground rules.
- Watch your children by the pool or on the beach. Don’t rely on other guests to keep your children safe. It is your responsibility.
- Pick up after your dog. Always keep a trash bag with your when walking your dog. No one wants to step in poop!
- Do not speed, whether riding in a golf cart, bike or car, always stay within the posted speed limits.
- From kimomjtb, a forum member: Do not feed the critters, no matter how cute they are. They can become a big nuisance for everyone if they become too “friendly” with humans!
- From Danielle: Don’t leave your loud RV generator on for longer than 10 minutes, or at least longer than whats completely necessary please. Especially when you’re surrounded by tent campers.
- From NE Camper (Bob): watch your language! There are families around you that shouldn’t be forced to listen to cursing or profanity.
So, what to you think? Post a comment below, or on our discussion board!

They can become a big nuisance for everyone if they become too “friendly” with humans!Posted by That's Camping in the Northeast on 08/15/07Don’t leave your LOUD RV generator on for longer than 10 minutes, or at least longer than whats COMPLETELY necessary please. Especially when you’re surrounded by tent campers. It can become incredibly annoying and is very rude. It woke us up at 7:00am, and all the campers were doing were sitting outside eating breakfast! Just take note all you RV’rs out there...most tent campers like to get away to the peace and quiet of a camp site, not sleep next to what sounds like the sound of the construction going on down the street!
(sorry if i seem a bit bitter....it just kind of put a damper on our trip!)
Posted by Danielle on 08/16/07Oh I agree, Danielle. We are RVrs and when I hear a generator, it is annoying to me too.
Thanks for sharing!
