Just passing through to loo or whatever is ok - except it they come through awning or near your ropes, or down the side where your bedroom window is open, and they are talking very loudly, waking you up.

Agree Jules, sometimes they need to walk via your site due to limited access elsewhere, but preferably not like you have said.

Add standing talking under your van window and smoking as well, that pee's me off.... 

I was taught to never walk through anyone else's site as that is their space and we should respect that.

besides the exercise won't hurt me to walk around

I do walk through vacant sites though.

I have often found that in a long block of sites there may be a pathway between two sites for that purpose.

I recall the last time we stayed at a c/park in Broken Hill some-one actually walked between our van and the power box

knocked out our power and didn't even bother plugging it back in.I think is rather rude to walk thru some ones space without being

invited to do so,but maybe i am of the "old school".

           

I consider the area allocated to us in a c/p as our home and yard away from home. I look on people walking through the same as I would people short-cutting through our yard at home. I have no problems if someone has the decency to ask if it is OK.  When camping with our grandkids that is one of the first rules they learn!  Paths and roads are there for people to walk on and they are designed for easy access to all sites (as a general rule).

Forumites,

Those of us who frequent C/P, how do you feel about people walking through your site to get from A to B, be it the amenities block or dump point or anywhere else.

Does it bother you?, do you not care? do you do the same?

 I take it that you won't let me use your loo then.

I tripped over somebody's cord one night, hurt myself somewhat but managed to replace the plug and apologised to the person next day. 'No worries" he said, 'the power box is so far from my van it happens all the time". And it was, 20 meters at least from his van, I thought it was a vacant site.
At least in a caravan park you have an allocated site but when free-camps are filling up late in the evening people park between vans, leaving barely enough space to open a door once. I Really hated that!

Some people are naturally short-cutters. The house over the road from mine is on a corner block and has no fence, so pedestrians often cut across the lawn rather than walk the full length of the footpath. The short-cutters don't seem to have any respect for private property and care only about themselves. It's just the way some people are.

It annoys us no end, but more so the kids that run through under the awning, or ride their bikes through. However, we were in a CP in Katherine and to get to the amenities meant we had to walk along the edges of sites, or hike a huge distance, like the width of the Park to get to a roadway. Small organised paths would have helped to alleviate that problem. We tried to use vacant sites.

Another pet peeve is children who ride their bikes full bore around the park. Unfortunately children have tunnel vision and don't see the dangers. They also ride at greater than the posted speed limit. It's not really the kids fault as often parents encourage their children to go off and play.

Yep, a good example of much ado about nothing, while these instances happen now and again they are few and far between.

 

Most people do the right thing, its just that we remember and relate horror stories about the  minority that don't.
