Over the past six years, I've been to many RV parks and campgrounds. So far, I have not encountered any weird or irritating rules. But they are out there apparently.
RV Travel has posted ten irritating rules submitted by readers.
They begin it with:
In addition to weird RV park rules, there are some rules that are just downright irritating to campers. Sometimes they just don’t make sense to anyone except those in the campground office. Many of you left comments on last week’s article, 12 weirdest campground rules, and said that sometimes these weird rules are made because one weird person does one weird thing.
Be sure to read the 12 weirdest campground rules. Definitely weird.

I found the criticisms in that article very petty. Telling people to drive at "walking speed" is weird because a speed is not specified? I think most people can judge pretty well, and the rule is obviously intended to protect the safety of other campers and provide the owner back-up when he challenges a speeder. Allowing only two logs on a fire? Again, clearly intended to prevent people from building a huge sparking bonfire that might create a problem. The rule against feeding stray cats is criticized because one might be adopted by a camper?? Really?!? I'm sure the campground owner does not want to encourage stray cats by having well-meaning people feed them. Then the people drive away and the owner is left with the problem. Name tag requirements? A way to deter freeloaders from using facilities that others must pay for. And so on... The real problem is not "weird campground rules" but those occasional weird campers with no common sense. If a rule said "No Exotic Animals" you can be sure someone would drive in with a horse trailer (or similar) and say, "But it's not an exotic animal." And do you want to be stepping in someone's tobacco spit on the ground? Looks like that website is getting desperate for content.
