Campground etiquette question

Nice!!! gonna pop a cap at em!!

For a straight-forward neighbour-being-lazy-walking-through-my-site issue, I'd speak out directly: "Excuse me, I'd appreciate it if you stop cutting through my campsite and walk around instead."  If it happens again, I'd call the ranger (or manager, or whoever runs the campground).

There is always cap stun.......................................................

I like the polite warning first and then believe in stepping it up if the others then intentionally try to be irritating. 

You hit on one of my biggest peeves....rude "campers". Notice I put "campers" in quotations. To me, common sense dictates that one would not enter a campsite that is occupied by someone else....this is assuming the person in question doesn't have that first clue regarding "camping etiquette". It is a simple matter of respect for others.

Sadly, as Techntrek mentioned, we encounter this more than we should. Holiday weekends seem to bring out the worst "campers". This would be followed by weekends, in general. Weekday camping seems to be the best, if you can arrange it.

Typically, when someone does this, I will say something like:
"Can I help you, are you lost? I'm wondering why you are in my campsite." If there reply is something like: "I'm just taking a shortcut."   My reply is something like: "Would you please not do that. I don't enjoy the interruption and, if you startle my dog, you may get bitten."

If it happens again, then it's: "I've asked you politely not to trespass, yet you continue to do so. I am going to speak with the park staff."

Confrontations are what none of us want, especially when camping. Sometimes they escalate beyond what they should. Only you know what you are willing to tolerate and how far you are willing to go to stand up for your position. Good luck!
