RUDEST RVers EVER! 7 Unwritten Rules of Campground Etiquette 

Well, I was at a campground once and the next door guy had a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I told my wife, get ready for a rude awakening morning with our neighbor. I was up early next morning and this guys was pushing his motorcycle away from campers just so he can start his motorcycle and not disturb his neighbors... there are still good campers out there that have consideration for others. Sad you guys had to deal with crap like that.

Common sense is a flower that doesn’t bloom in everyone’s garden.

I had a guy at site kick my truck once . Funny thing was my dash cam proved I was going 11mph in a 13mph zone. He recieved a free all accommodation over night for criminal damage to property. The dent repair plus paint was over 2k

I think you missed the silver lining! The best part of having an RV is that you can move; you don't have to put up with it night after night! Try owning a house and having neighbors like your described.

Just this weekend we were at campground and our neighbors allowed their two little yippie dogs run around off leash. One of the dogs came over to our site on pooped right right beside our picnic table. I very nicely asked the owners if they could come and pick up the poop. "Sure!" Four hours later, one of their kids finally came over and half-way picked it up so I picked up the rest. Next day, same deal, dog came over and pooped in almost the same spot. I promptly scooped it up on a piece of cardboard and walked it to their site and place it at the bottom of their stairs.

I don't speed in campsites but I can tell you the roads in campsites can be very narrow and sometimes with full size one tons with oversized mirrors, you cant avoid getting close to people walking, that said damaging someone personal property by kicking it isn't the way to handle it. I can guarantee you'll do that to the wrong person one day.

Thing is, if your shoe puts a dent in the offending driver's car, you're on the hook for the repair. I wouldn't kick someone's property.

We were camping at Silvercreek Plunge in Idaho. We observed a large group of people camping in RV’s. One of the campers had their black tank hose stretched out into a bush. There are no dump hookups at this campground. I notified the campground employee but by the time the employee got to the site, the people had put the hose away. Gross!!! Some kid or pet is going to get into that and at best, get covered in sh**!!! So disgusting 🤢

we had a neighbor that allowed their dog to poop on "our" site. If we didn't pick it up right away we were the ones "in trouble" with the park, blaming our dog. 1 morning I was waiting at the window and as the dog came over, I took a picture while it was in mid poop, took it up to the office. He was asked to leave that afternoon.

I once heard it observed "Why is it, that the people with the loudest speakers have the poorest taste in music?"

Loved it. We were trailer camping in Smoky Mtns and returned from morning walk. Next to us was another trailer with TWO Huskies, both moaning and clawing at the curtains. It last about 2 hours, then again near dark. Yep, owners come back after 9pm and started screaming at dogs for peeing and destroying furniture. Campground Mgr came and told them they had 2 hours to leave! QUIETLY, she said. 😊 Good

I was full-timing at a park where my neighbor would get up at 6 am and fire up his diesel-powered dually and let it warm up for 15 minutes while the exhaust fumes filled my bedroom. The noise didn't bother me as much as having stinky toxins pumped directly into my RV, choking me and my dog. With less than 10 feet between campers, that space where he was parking filled up with fumes in no time flat. I finally stormed out one morning and somehow managed to calm myself enough explain to him what the problem was. To his credit, he started parking in a different spot that allowed him to idle that thing without being directly beneath my windows. I was so glad to see the last of them when they got evicted a few weeks later.

I don't think the rude RVers even watch videos such as yours. Self entitled folks think the whole world revolves around their needs and they certainly don't teach their children any better.

I'm convinced that Common Sense is a super power now. LOL

This is why so many people like to boondock.

My wife and I are newbies and so much appreciate your knowledge, wisdom and humor. I hope we'll never be or become subjects of someones "rudest campers ever" list. You guys are great, keep up the awesome work.

Years ago, when our kids were little, we took a tent camping trip. After getting to bed the first night, the people in the next camp site kept talking and laughing loudly, well after quiet hours. We finally put an end to it, when I started singing Tom Lehrer's "So Long, Mom (A Song for World War III)." As I recall, they were quiet that next night. In our pop-up trailer a few years ago, we ended up next to a couple of German men who were RV'ing around the US. Apparently, at some point, they'd been stopped by law enforcement and told to wear their seatbelts, as for most of the night, they kept repeating loudly, "BUCKLE UP! IT'S THE LAW!" and laughing about it. They were nice enough guys, but that got pretty old rather quickly. It didn't help, either, that they were smoking some rather nasty smelling cigarettes (the legal kind), and the smell kept wafting over to our site. It probably bears mentioning as well, that not only can others hear when a couple is fighting in their RV, but if they're a bit too vocal during more amorous interactions, those will be heard as well. While it's nice to know someone is having a good time, I think most of us prefer not getting the sound track the entire time.

OMG We where camping at our favorite state park. Half way around the loop a family of (I'm not kidding we counted them) 30 people 4 couples and 22 children all under the age of 10. And they made the camp grounds their play ground . They would run though your site would come and ask for some of what you where eating. Jump into the back of my pick up ,want to use our bathroom. I'm not kidding. Where are the parents. I went to the park off to complain. That lasted about 10 min kids went right back to doing what they were doing . And not just to us the whole camp grounds. When I had enough I went to their site and as nicely as I could explained that if they did not control their kids I would be back with the police and a Ambulance. Because I would beat the crap out of them for ruining my weekend with their kids. Oh and I forgot that there were 4 other campers with me to back me up. Because they where having the same done to them. NOW This all happened in one day. The next day the park had the state police remove them and banned them from coming back. When 36 camp sites report this and the parents did nothing to stop their kids. So yes I'm a bad guy for saying something to them. I'll get over it

The worst to me is when a large group takes over an area and proceeds to party hearty until past midnight, loud music, drunken yelling, littering, etc., and there's never a campground attendant present to shut them down.

I can’t believe (but sadly, really can) that all of these things aren’t no brainers! A couple years ago, my daughter arranged a group camping trip for friends and family. We ended up paying quite a bit extra for a group site because the number in our group was somewhat large, and we wanted to stay together. The site came with its own portable potties, and parking area. We spent the entire trip fighting with day campers parking in our lot, and literally tramping right through our site to get to the water, as well as using the potties designated for our site. I mean, they literally were hauling equipment, easy-ups, coolers, chairs, etc. back and forth, every day, RIGHT THROUGH our spot. It was so annoying and disappointing when we spent so much for that site. We complained, to no avail.

After 20 years in the Navy, I've learned to NEVER, EVER trust a stranger to do things 'the right way'. I couldn't agree more about sanitizing everything. I have been up to 30 minutes late leaving check-out (the wife and I work late/graveyard shifts and we sleep IN!!). One time, on a Tuesday, we had someone pull into the waiting area and they were staring daggers at us from 40 feet away as we were packing out - 10 minutes BEFORE check out and 70 minutes before check in! This older couple (say late 70's) were very upset that they couldn't get into their spot immediately. They had in-state tags, and their rig was from a local dealership and was over ten years old, so they likely lived within an hour of the park. So, if you get there BEFORE check in, please don't be a jerk to folks who are packing out before your turn to get into it.

We reserved two premium water access camp sites (following campground rules, no more that 8 people per site).There was a clearly marked trail to the water, on the outer perimeter of each site. Instead of using the trail, people were walking through our sites with canoes, kayaks and little raft boats. I finally said something (nicely the first few time). I thought about walking through there site. Instead, I went to the camp host, they in return went to all the other sites and told people to stop walking through our site. Of course the rest of the weekend, we were hated by other campers…who cares, we paid big buck for those sites and we were going to enjoy them! Love your stories and all your camping advice.

We glamped for 5 years as seasonal campers near Horicon, Wi. The worst campers were a group of 20 - something guys who drank and talked loudly until 1 or 2 AM, when quiet time started at 10 PM. The campground owner was oblivious to it UNTIL they started shooting off fireworks the 2nd night of a 4 day holiday weekend. That got them kicked out immediately - they were gone within 30 minutes, due to the owner telling them that he would call the police if they did not leave within that time. They were only 2 spaces away from us. Total lack of common sense and decency - guess they left their brains and manners at home.

We're retired and often arrive early at campgrounds. If the site is still occupied, we try to find a spot out of everyone's way to unhook our towed vehicle and maybe have a sandwich. Usually, the folks leaving the site are out by checkout time. My pet peeve is leaving bright lights on, gas lanterns are the worst. Some porch lights are too bright.

At Yellowstone a family, at least three generations of them, had taken over the inside of a restroom and were using it as a kitchen and cooking their evening meal. This was wrong on so many levels, it defied any/all sensibilities.

Last year while camping at a state park a lady drives in with her motorhome, she starts backing into the site across from us, she wasn't happy where she was so she pulls way forward, the front of her rig Comes within inches of our camper, which is about 6 feet in from the road, yikes, then starts backing up again. One neighbor is trying to tell her that she's going to hit a tree on her side, but she just waves to him and floors it smashing into three small trees then hitting a larger tree. She then gives up and pulls into another site that had less trees. Come to find out she was drunk and didn't even have a reservation in the park at all. The cops were called and she was taken in in her RV towed away

I reserved a specific spot at a campground because it was secluded, and the manager allowed specific reservations. I showed up, and another RV had parked in my spot and was totally set-up. I very politely explained that he would have to move. You would have thought that I kicked his dog or something. He couldn’t believe that I would make him pack up and move out of my spot! I had a great time after that, but for some reason he gave me a lot of dirty looks that weekend.

On our second RV trip we went to a big Trade Days/Flea Market event where there is a large campground attached to the event facility. The last night we were there we, and the whole camp ground was woken up at 4:30 am when the chickens they had bought the day before began crowing.

One of our rudest neighbor experiences was someone’s kid shining a super bright light at our bedroom window when we were trying to sleep. They were all around the campfire late at night being somewhat loud, but the worst part was that light in the hands of a kid playing with it. So rude of the parents.

Lordy, now I remember why we stopped using campgrounds! Thanks for the very vivid reminder.

Also about the not shaking hands… our site this weekend the grounds had a padlock for everyone to use, and the thought crossed my mind I wonder how many people didn’t wash their hands after handling the septic 😅

Your comments are so true. Campground etiquette has gone down the drain. I'm 73 and have dealt with the same issues as you have, and even more. Too many newbees camping nowadays with speeding, loud music, leaving trash (firewood ok), loud late night talking, running generators past the legal times, people walking through your campsite, pets off their leash, and on and on. It is not like it was 10 years ago.

I was at a KOA last year in Texas. This particular weekend a family was having a hillbilly family reunion close to us. Every stinking night the clan would come togather, start drinking, arguing and screaming all hours of the night. Hate crap like that!

A young couple in a tent (multiple tents on the one site) LITERALLY under our pop out bed, on our “property”, making loud whoopie throughout the night. This was a special event weekend so we initially tolerated the cramped tent set up, but after that first night being re-woken several times we made them move their tent that morning!.

I like. It when people bring their dogs and let them bark all day long, you gotta love that.

I worked as a camp host at a campground in the Allegheny National forest . Believe me I know what you went through with rude people. People can be so unbelievably ignorant. Your right most campers have a kindred spirit with nature. But then you get the worst hell raisers.

I agree about going slow in the campground, but parents need to control their kids .. too many times I see parents paying zero attention to their kids and what there doing ..I can't tell the number of times a kid on a bicycle wondering or wobbling into my path and almost getting struck

Late check outs are my pet peeve. Twice we've had to sit & wait because the previous campers didn't check out on time. The second time (different campground than the first) - we told management & they just said 'not to worry about it & just wait for them' - we waited for hours. We were super mad & I should have asked for a partial refund since we couldn't use our site for several hours. THEN it was too late in the day for me to get out kayaking so it really torqued me. Needless to say we won't go back to that campground because management doesn't manage properly.

Loud music in the campground is rude. I don't understand why people think other people want to hear their music.

Another thing you might mention is decorative lights. We love to camp so that we can be outdoors and enjoy an evening campfire and see the stars. Some people have their campsites so lit up, it affects everyone around them. We were camping once and a lady was stringing her lights around the end of her camper, which was very close to our fire pit. We were sitting by the campfire and she didn’t seem to notice us, so I mentioned that we enjoy it darker so we can see the night sky. She was kind enough to pull her lights back around to the front of their camper.

I’ve been camping in everything from a bedroll in the dirt to various RV’s, and everything from Forest Service wilderness to high end RV park. I’ve noticed over the past ten years or so that the conduct of a lot of campers leaves a lot to be desired. I’ve seen a lot of what was described in the video and more. We were camped in a Forest Service semi developed camp site often referred to as a yellow post site. The site was at the end of a long “driveway” and camping is only allowed in the area at designated yellow post sites. 8 am in rolls Cousin Eddy and his tenement on wheels and he sets up blocking our only way in and out and starts a campfire in the middle of the “driveway”. I approached Cousin Eddy and politely asked him to extinguish the fire as we were in red flag fire danger and move his rig to the empty yellow post site 1/4 mile away and unblock the “driveway” so that we could get in and out as we needed especially if a fire broke out. I was met with a series of f’bombs and told if I didn’t like it “I should have kept my flat land @$$ at home. Thankfully, I had a friend that worked for the Forest Service that came out to see us and found Cousin Eddy and his band of misfits and he went to jail for several warrants and the tenement on wheels got towed. I’ve had adjoining campers on several occasions send their raggamuffin children to ask for food when I’ve been grilling, people decide I didn’t need that much campsite and set up their equipment in my clearly marked site without asking and when confronted called a litany of expletives, purposely take their dog into my campsite at the fire ring to deficate and when asked to pick up after their dog laugh about it walk off and drop a bunch of derogatory expletives, people enter my site sit at my picnic bench and blaze up weed and more. Note: none of the locations where this has happened is inner city. It’s all been in what are typically nice state or federal campgrounds. The last incident occurred at Asseteague State Park along with a host of other nonsense like a truck parking in the middle of the night in our space blocking us in. I left until the morning and when I asked them to please, leave and was completely ignored. The only thing that got them to leave was getting the Conservation Police involved. What this comes to is that their is a large minority of people that SUCK. They think they can relocate their back yard to campgrounds and public lands and conduct themselves the same as if they were in their own backyard. It’s time to start calling these people out. If you have video don’t cover their face or their license plate and let everyone see who these folks are.

You missed people fueling up, then leaving their rig in the fuel island while they go in and buy a sandwich, go potty, get a drink.

Love your "leave the campsite cleaner than how you found it" philosophy --- I always try to do that, also. :D

On your last point about walking on the camp road and vehicles being 'too close' to you. I'd strongly suggest that the road is the only place the vehicle can be, while walkers can be on the road and/or on the grass. Please be considerate and yield the road to vehicles when they are present.

I find that most management don’t do anything about their own rules. They need to drive around to make sure people are following the very rules they give them. Almost Every park we have gone too have rules about dogs being chained up outside without owner outside. But we see dogs all the time outside and owners stay inside their RV. I’m not talking about running inside to get something I’m talking about a long time inside. Also making sure people are checked out when they are suppose too. Why have rules if you are not going to enforce them?!?

Quiet hours are my biggest pet peeve, followed by the fast drivers. And the people who encroach on your campsite. And... well, all the other stuff you mentioned.

We arrived at a local state park at 5pm on Friday night and the previous camper was still in the spot we'd reserved, with all of their belongings strewn about. They seemed to be living in their RV with 4 young kids, so it was a lot of belongings. I went over to ask them to move and the woman who came out said her husband had to run into town and she didn't have keys, but they would move as soon as he got back (at this time it was 4 hours after checkout). I walked over to let the ranger know what was going on, and walking back, got a glimpse of them continuing to play outside, making no attempt to pack up. The ranger stopped by about half an hour later and then followed up, letting me know that they expected to be out of the site soon. We had squeezed our 30' motorhome in our friends slot next door and they had cooked us dinner, as we all stewed at the gall and kept watch on "our" site. Just before dark, a guy emerges from the trailer (turns out he had been there the whole time) and the kids all come inside, they turn off all of their lights. Another trip to the ranger, but they are closed for the night and we are furious. But I keep thinking about the young kids and don't really want to make a scene when the whole campground is settling in for the night. So we sleep awkwardly on an incline in front of our neighbors spot. About 1am, the hooligan interlopers wake us up with their lights shining right in our windows and their diesel pusher coming to life and they take off. It was a a terrible start to a weekend.

My wife and I were tent camping once and about 10 pm a bunch of boy scouts showed up and made so much noise till about midnight. The adults were worse than the kids with yelling back and forth.

My pet peeve... people who book two waterfront sites, one for their RV and one for their boat trailer. Come on Dude, at least book the site across the road (non-lakefront) for your boat trailer

It's also frustrating for people in cars when we're driving through parking lots or campgrounds and people are walking down the middle of the driveway and they know there's somebody behind them and they just don't care and just keep walking slow and like to piss people off that are behind them waiting for them to get out of the middle of the roadway. I know the two of you would not do that but I've seen that quite often.

Never walk through someone else’s campground. Even if it’s a shortcut to the bathroom, just don’t do it.

Story number two wins the contest for me. The Campers, who stayed too late and dumped their black tank all over. Unbelievable! I tend to be overly considerate. It irritates my husband that I pay more attention to be considerate than I do to enjoying our time at the campgrounds, I’m a bit of a people pleaser, but this is a great video that helps spread the word❤

I have literally never been camping in an r.v., but I love your videos. You guys have the best personalities. This one gave me a bit of anxiety, as I have some rude neighbors, but at least they're not snuggled right up next my house. Thanks for making these entertaining videos!

As a Camphost I was constantly asking people to slow down with speeding signs everywhere..its ridiculous.

I’m a solo, 59 y/o female camper. I backed into my spot and got out to plug in my Surge Guard to check the pedestal. A man came over with his hands dramatically wrapped around his head saying, “Are you by yourself?! Boy, I’m glad you didn’t hit my Class A!!!” I looked at him trying to decide if he was joking or not and he said, “Women drivers aren’t good in a car, let alone pulling a trailer.” I wasn’t very nice and when I got done, he just turned around and walked away. His wife left their site and started walking towards him and I said, “I feel sorry for you. There’s no way I could put up with that man.” That was it. I think I shut him down. Haha! They avoided me for the next 3 days until they left.

I have two annoying experiences: 1 is those annoying generators that campers like to have on all day long into the late evening hours. I remember on 1 occasion my husband and I camped at a dry campground and someone right next to us decided to use their loud big commercial type of generator all day into the night. There was no camp host to complain to, so we left very early the next morning. 2 again at a dry campground a middle-aged couple decided to blair their 60's music from big amplifying speakers that the whole campground could hear. Finally with complaints the host did drive over and told them to tone it down. That was not only irritating but surprising because this couple were not even teenagers, they were full grown adults. We call him the music man and we still talk about him today.

I get the "pet peeve" with pets. Our now former neighbors, since we moved last year. They have small dogs that every morning as they did not keep them on leashes 90% of the time. Would come over and pee on the tires of my van. Here's the issue I have with that. Urine causes rust to happen to bearings and brakes etc. If you allow this or just ignore it to be polite, it is setting yourself and your passengers up for not only future vehicle repairs but possibly endangering yourself plus them due to breakdown on the road or outright accident.

My husband wants to do the RV thing , but after watching this I am thinking no way...Thanks for making these vids so people can make a better decision . Cheers

My very first trip ever, We went to Gettysburg, I check in to the campground, and drive to our site, the road to our site was blocked by 3 custom motorcycles parked in the road. AND, the owners left the campground! The campground manager could not contact them and would not move the bikes. No other sites available, Long story short, they found us a site at another camp ground! The next trip, our neighbors were pulling out early, he fired up his diesel truck at 6 am and left it idling until they left at 10! We couldn't sleep. Needless to say, we doubted camping!

There are a lot of good people who camp. It's the few "turds" who cause camping to be unenjoyable.

We pulled into our campsite and discovered the firepit filled with someone's macaroni and cheese!! They must have just dumped their leftovers in the firepit instead of the trash!!!! It was disgusting!!

Pet etiquette is huge! I was mauled in 2014 so I freak out about dogs OFF LEASH. I was camping and I have a German shepherd husky mix. The neighbor had 2 German shepherds off leash. I wasn't aware he let them out by themselves and when I walked by it rushed up on me. He came out his RV and whistled. Then as we were talking his dog rushed my dog who was on his lead. I told him I was mauled and am freaking out about his dog off leash and he claimed his dog was just a big baby. I DON'T GAF, I have panic attacks when a dog rushes me. I stayed inside my van the rest of the day and left the next day.

Thank you for raising awareness about speeding in campgrounds. I live at a riding stables in the UK and we have loads of 5mph sizes and of course we have horses, pedestrians and elderly people around. Some motorists just don't care. I do need some ideas of how to slow these maniacs down but they gaslight you and it is very diffcult

Hey Folks, really good common sensical information but I fear as others have mentioned that “those rude campers” don’t care enough to watch videos like this. After full timing for one year we have seen/experienced all of the things you mentioned here. Our worst experience was a group of campers that refused to not cut through our site to get to theirs behind us. They literally would drive a golf cart through our site, just missing our canopy and picnic table. It took a face to face with the campers to get them to understand the rules. Thanks for posting.

15:57 - "get off my rented lawn" Damn, i owe you a beer.

My biggest complaint is people NOT picking up their dogs poop! I see that so many times and I make a mental note not to walk in that area. Be considered and pick it up and some people think just because their dog/dogs are small, they don’t have to pick the poop up. 🤨😠

The third one wins the “Campground Asshound” award 🥇

Thank you for sharing. I avoid close proximity to other people to prevent my own reaction. Unfortunately our social contracts have broken down due to years of no consequence behavior.

Pet etiquette is by far my pet peeve (Pun intended). Just last week I was next to an elderly couple that had a HUGE Doberman. They had it tied up on the side of their RV with about a 15 foot leash - just short enough to where it couldn't physically reach the driver's side of my truck but about a foot away. So, when I pull in and get out, I have this dog in full attack mode about 3 inches from my legs barking, growling and lunging at me. Scared the bejezus out of me the first time I pulled in. Then the owner sticks his head out the door and says, "Oh, his bark is worse than his bite." I may have said something smart-a$$ back, I don't remember exactly. Bottom line, it is just like you said. Be considerate - not everyone loves Rover like you do.

You guys are spot on! So far this year we have run into several 'newbys' and a couple arrogant people in the campgrounds. Frustrations are running higher than in the past but that's no excuse for being total jerks. I have printed out a list of "campground etiquette" and have NO PROBLEM placing that list, with certain violations highlighted, on the the offenders windshield. Safety is priority, courtesy is everything else.

My pet peeve - campgrounds with 5-10 mph speed limits where the golf cart drivers treat it as an Indy qualifier. Amazing how the same people who respect the campground speed limit will either rip through it themselves on a cart, or (worse) let their clueless kids speed on a cart.

We had checked into a site just outside of Yellowstone with our sweet vintage 80s-era Born Free camper. Relaxing by the fire having a cocktail. In rolled a huge (and lovely!) RV pulling a trailer with lots of ATVs and assorted toys. We were truly the underdog in this fight. The guy leaned out his window of his (probably) $400,000 camper and said the campground had made a mistake and they were supposed to have our site. The manager had simply made an error and assigned them our site. Didn't realize it. There were many other sites available, but this guy said, "We were REALLY looking forward to having your site. For the view." We just sat there and showed them our campsite thingy you put in your window. He stared at us hard and we sat back down. Really dude? they got the site across the lane from us and as they were setting up their dog started barking at our dog and our dog started barking at their dog. The guy said, "Is this going to be a problem?" I stood up, leaned into him, and said, "I don't know. IS IT?" They moved across the campground. Amazing privileged thinking! We still laugh about it today!

The rudest neighbours me and my husband encountered was they were drunk loud and using a fire pit letting their smoke filling our RV and not putting it out. And I think people should respect the lots we pay for and never invade your privacy.

Bro you need to be careful about some of these confrontations there's too many psychopaths on this planet

As I read some comments I WAS reminded of a new trend in camping that IS disturbing. That would be tent campers with no restroom camping in a dry camp area. It seems that poop freeks who are scared of their own poop do not have the decency to bury their poop with a shovel or a boot to keep the place sanitary. I like to camp in a area where I can let my dogs run around without a leash and one day one of my dogs came back with human shit all over her and it was really bad. Thank God I have an outside shower! I did use gloves in this case while giving the dog a bath. After the clean up I went to inspect where it came from and found human crap and toilet paper EVERYWHERE! There were at least 20 dump sites on the surface with paper included. I spent and hour cleaning it up so I didn't get another dog in it. I have ran across this on more than one occasion! Please people, bury your crap!

“There’s no honor in beating up grandpa!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We've all encountered situations where we would like to "teach" the other guy a lesson, but I doubt rolling a distraction in font or or kicking their vehicle does anything other than raise the desire to further the confrontation. Getting a photo of the license and reporting to the park officials might go farther in the long run. Some time we just have to bite our tongue, so to speak. Otherwise, I enjoy sharing you adventures through your channel.

Guys! You rock! We’re new to this. We are used to a huge yard and the freedoms that come with it. We’re in process of selling house, buying RV, finding RV camp to then transition to unrestricted land. Finally, start building a cabin. Thanks to your videos we’ll put our best foot forward and not be Cousin Eddy campers!!!

Finally! You too have witnessed all the new crowd coming out in droves to go camping. But common courtesy has gone out the window! It's a damn shame! Thanks for posting this.

John said he doesn’t pee on the steps, he pees around them! 😂 I was rolling! Thanks for sharing serious topics with a light hearted spin!

Im not an RV'er, but I could watch you guys all day.

My hubby and I bought our first motor home 2.5 months ago, a class a Tiffin! You two are my favorite you tubers and we’ve learned so much from you guys! On our first trip we stayed a night at a harvest host. The place was amazing! We stayed in the parking lot and it was pretty hot outside. We pulled in fairly early and went to grab a bite to eat....when we got back someone in their fifth wheel pulled up right next to us, they were so close I was worried about our slides hitting them! There was an entire parking lot for them to park in yet they parked directly next to us! Since we were staying the night in the parking lot we were running the generator because it was way too hot.....which is allowed, these people in the fifth wheel came knocking on our door at 11 pm and asked us to turn it off! Obviously we were not too happy with this but we did turn it off.....but they were totally in the wrong, they shouldn’t have parked RIGHT next to us! Since this was a harvest host location and there were no hook ups and it was in the fairly large parking lot, using the generator was perfectly acceptable. What’s even worse is, even though we can’t prove this, we believe they removed the safety pin from our master tow! We didn’t discover this until we were already on the road and had made a gas stop! Someone could have been killed! These people were horrible!

Good point Mercedes, regarding people that don't show up! We're in the southwest portion of Canada, and campsite reservations are nearly impossible to get, but then there are those that get them, and don't show up! Recently there was a campsite, one under two hours from the city, so very popular, and someone found that there was at least 30 sites being unused, yet all sites where reserved! So, no one could get any of those unused sites, as someone had reserved them, and decided to go elsewhere, and just loose the reservation fee. No idea how to rectify this, as it's happened at many other locations as well, but it's turning into quite an ordeal, where many are having to just stay home, yet wanting to go camping, as there is literally NO sites left when they try to reserve!

The man next door complained about my dogs pooping where he had to see it while he was sitting at his table inside. Poop is ALWAYS picked up right afterwards. We live in this RV camp and it's like living in a fish bowl. EVERYONE WATCHING YOU !

"Beat up grandpa" never under estimate older folks, you walking away may have saved YOU a whopping.

We camped in our pop up trailer next to another couple with a pop up also. They came back from a night of dinner and drinks and proceeded to argue into the wee hours of the night. Since our "walls" were plastic we had to listen to the whole thing! When we got up the next morning, the woman wasn't there (too embarrassed I'm sure) and the husband was just sitting there nonchalantly reading a newspaper. We left as soon as we could but that was one of the rudest experiences we have had.

On our maiden voyage, 2 weeks ago, we pull into campground and see the fill up station. We're not there 10 minutes and a woman was behind us yelling at us that we were taking too long! We just ignored her. Really aggravated though.

Listening to neighbors having a good fight can be a source of entertainment but we have no kids camping with us!! Those campgrounds that have 6 feet between rigs - no way.

During a 7 day camping trip at the Oregon coast with my wife and grandchildren. A rather large group 15 plus plp, took up a double site across from us. Showed up late (after 10pm) set up 2 rvs and 3 tents. Once completed camp, decided to start drinking and watching outdoor TV. Mind you that the site didn't have power. So the cheapest and loudest generator began to run. Not to mention that the bond fire was rather large. Thankfully no emergency happened, all the grass and the road was taken by the vehicles parked by our neighbors. At 330am everyone was drunk and passed out. Mind you this park is county ran and the grounds are managed by a couple that lives offsite. Too tired to call the sheriff decided to talk to the camp host the next morning. Before we got to talk to them 2 large 4x4 pulling sand rails and flying a confederate flag, pulls into the sight next to our favorite neighbors. On goes a fight with a hungover, loudmouth lady and husband. Yelling at them and telling them its against the law to fly that that flag. Didn't take long for the sheriff and deputies to show up. No I didn't call them. The camp host did. The host told them "sorry no refunds and to please vacate the camp grounds" so for the next few hours the 4x4 party and us watched them gather and throw all of their belongings & supplies into the vehicles. What a vacation.

Very true. I wish everyone would follow these rules. I camped a lot with my family when I was a kid, and my dad always insisted we left places better than we found them. It's a good rule for life, too.

We had a squatter on our site one time that wouldn't leave. Finally about 6 hours after we arrived, we got to set up after park management finally called the police and made the guy leave. It was way past dark at this point and had taken up our entire first day of our vacation.

Maaaan, I hope all these folks that bought RV’s during covid give up fast, there are a lot of knuckle heads out there right now.

I've encountered a few these past 4 years. Some just seem like newbies who don't 'get' space and etiquette. Some are just trashy and don't care.

We were staying at a campsite with a view of the lake. The park rules say 2 vehicles per campsite and have additional parking for the boat trailers and extra vehicles a very short walking distance from the campsites. We frequently have camp neighbors that have lots of "company" and park their MANY cars right in our site line of the lake where our only view is their vehicles.

My wife, kids, and I camped for years..from tenting to truck camper to 3 class C's, to 5th wheel, and finally to class full timing. We quit fulltiming, bought a home in country (no close neighbors) and now quit rving. All your complaints are ones we encountered. Our biggest complaint was "Barking Dogs". At a time long ago pets were not permitted in campgrounds...(we have no pets) We always had dogs at home but never took them camping/RVing..... Reservations finally put the icing on the cake, and we quit RVing.

We spent a night at a pretty nice private campground up by Traverse City. There were a bunch of drunk imbeciles that decided they were going to play football at around 1:00 - 2:00 in the morning. They were out there screaming and yelling "Touchdown"! And you could occasionally hear the football bouncing off the sides and roof of RV's. I was so glad we weren't over by them, but felt so bad for the people that were!

Best RV show !! Down to earth hosts. Great content and real people on this channel. No snobby junk here !

Unfortunately, the ones that need to hear this don’t watch the RV RU-vid channels. We had a weekend ruined because the campers next door left their two dogs alone in their camper all day and into the evening past the quiet hours. They barked non-stop. The park manager said they couldn’t do anything until they returned. The couple and their dogs were kicked out of the park the next morning. Our plan to sit in our chairs and enjoy the beautiful spot we reserved in advance for the peaceful spot on the edge of a preserve, were ruined. When they left they must have been mad. They hit a light pole and scraped their beautiful Lance trailer down the whole side on the way out. BTW, we were not the only people that complained about the dogs. It was the talk of the campground. If you have dogs, don’t leave them alone all day. Not only is it rude and breaks most campground rules, it is cruel to your dogs.

Dump station issues are the main reason I hate to stay in a campground without full hookups. You never know kind of idiots you're going to encounter. And it's not always other RVers. One time we pulled up in line for a station behind one other RV. There was a family in a minivan who had decided the center of the station was a nice place to park for their picnic since there was a table nearby. The guy ahead of me informed them they shouldn't park there. It's a rather large park/campground area with plenty of parking elsewhere. They moved for a few minutes until we both finished dumping. Then moved right back to the same spot, blocking the next trailer pulling in!

You guys are entertaining, I enjoy watching John's excitement/pissed expression and Mercedes patience and understanding expression. Can only imagine her having to hold him back at times... LOL Love you guys!
