thecplusplusguy 7 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Late arrivals: If you are arriving at a park after normal quiet hours, attempt some degree of stealth behavior. Not that it is easy to be unobtrusive pulling in an RV. But keep the set-up to the minimum required for the night. Your neighbors will understand that you need to pull in and hook up. They have probably been in the same situation. But they will lose patience if they spend an hour listening to loud conversation, slamming doors and arguments over how to level the rig. Do what is essential and remember that tomorrow is another day. The same sort of courtesy should be used if you are making an early morning departure. Don?t keep the engine idling for an hour before you leave. Tidy up your campsite the night before.If you do end up arriving late get some walkie talkies so the driver and the spotter aren't yelling and swearing at each other. Well they'll probably swear just in the walkie talkie so only they will hear.Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thecplusplusguy 7 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 One of my pet peeves is when you fit time in your trip to get some laundry done and some other camper will have used one or more washers/dryers and just leave their clothes lying in the machines long after the cycles have finished.In college we used to just take them out and leave 'em on the table.

And the clothes weren't completely dry, either. When you snooze, you lose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sensei 18 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 About the only thing I have seen that really burns my crust other than the rude, in-a-hurry people, are the jerk-offs that think parking in front of your campsite so they can catch a boat to the MK is ok. :bday: Had one do this the last time I was there. He left his car in the way the entire day. Another was the guy next to us that turned on his outside TV very loud and then went back in his coach. He never did watch the TV.

ºoºThomasclan85ºoº 8 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Please don't drive down the wrong way in the loopDonnie....We are guilty of this BUT.......we found out after driving through the WHOLE loop after registering that our cabin was the LAST cabin in the loop. You could literally see it when you turned onto Willow Way. After the first time, we simply looked for any coming traffic and zipped over to the cabin albeit going the wrong way. I just couldn't see driving all the way around everytime. Hope that's excusable in this case. :jumpforjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cyberdeb 7 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I can believe some of these stories. People are sooooo rude!! One one of our trips we were in the 1500 loop in our pop up. in the next two sites were Disney Tents set up for a young girls birthday party. Of course they were up all night squeeling, giggling and screaming. That wasnt quite as bad as the morning when they were up at the crack of dawn starting all over again,. The adults did nothing watsoever to quiet them down. DH called the office and they sent someone down but it didnt help at all. The screaming and squeeling continued until i gave up and got dressed and left the site for the day. On that same trip someone had a dog tied up outside in the next loop right next to the comfort station that barked allll day long. No one was in site and we complained about that as well but no one did anything about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stacktester 78 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 For those of you who have a problem with people cutting through sites I have a secret weapon. Her name is Grandma. She's from Charleston, comes in about a 5'8" package and rules like a dictator. When she's in the 1700 loop I dare you to cut through her site. You may say nasty words but trust me they won't hurt her and she has a posse that will get you in the middle of the night. Below is a sample of the posse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ntsammy5 7 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 When I was a teenager - back in the dark ages - we were camping at a local campground and a young couple moved into the site next to us. They were French Canadians with little modesty. They had a very small tent and chose to dress and undress outside. My brother and I sat and watched them attentively to make sure no small animals attacked them while they were dressing. It was he least we could do.That was just GOOD etiquette Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just Whipperwhirl 24 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Speaking of nudity - it is not OK to remove your bathing suit top in front of my children. Nor is it Ok to have a heated make out session in the hot tub while the entire pool is full of children 15' away. You will find sand flying in your direction or the cast members comming over to tell you to calm down - if POPO whipperwhirl is around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HillBillyWhisperer 20 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Is it okay to let em' RIP first thing in the morning while I am sipping my coffee under the awning or is that a bad thing? I usually have a couple of fans going to clear it out of my site so no one really knows where it came from. There are a lot of wild animals at the Fort, so, you know, who is to say it was not one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
