As a follow up to my post about the camp etiquette article, here is your chance to get it off your chest. What is your pet peeve when camping in a state park. We're not picking on just the state parks, but any camping facilty. This is all in jest.


1. If you have a yappy dog, leave it at home. Just because Precious doesn't make a sound when you are around, doesn't mean he doesn't bark his head off the entire time you go into town or fishing.

2. Reserved a screen shelter? Please quietly close that spring-loaded screen door behind you. Last campout, the folks in the next site had a chartered fishing trip so they were up at 5AM going in and out of the shelter and letting the door slam shut each time.

3. Going to step on toes here. Pet Peeve - Hog motorcycles, just the loud, abnoxious ones. Camped at a state park once which had a multi-site biking group staying for a couple of nights. Every morning there was one particular hog bike that was cranked up. Birds scattered in fright at the noise. Dogs barked. The rider would wake the whole park as he rode the short fifty yards to the bathhouse for his morning pee.
