So they are supposed to please the exception and not the rule? Enforce the bad behavior to "please" the perpetrators? What about the majority that behave themselves, follow the rules, etc?
Check-in/check-out time not to your liking? No pool? No campfire? Don't like quiet hours? CAMP ELSEWHERE. It's that simple. No fuss, no muss. If you can't find one in a particular area that suits you go elsewhere or suck it up buttercup. The world doesn't revolve around you.

Ok I'll play... If you are going to have rules and obviously you need to, enforce them consistently for the benefit of one and all. I appreciate it when upon checking in being given a copy, usually on the back of the CG map and yes guys I actually read them every time.
Every CG/RV park is a little different and if after reading their rules you cannot comply just put your rig in gear and get on down the road. The rules are not subject to debate and I would hope they apply to everyone, not just us.
On the earlier discussion about IQ...

My advice to campground owners. If you have a quiet time starting at 11 PM, make a trip through the campground at 11:15 on Friday night and address problems. Don't wait for somebody to call the office, where most likely nobody will answer, to complain.

Enforcing rules has to be done with discretion. It is never black and white. For example we have quiet hours, not silence hours. Barking dogs are a no go, but we don’t kick someone out for a dog’s random bark. Deal with the general public enough and you will inevitably have conflicts regarding rules and policies. It is impossible to settle then all to the satisfaction of everyone involved.

See item nine on my list. Do you really think it never occurred to park management that if they truly wanted to tightly enforce quiet hours they should check the park after that time? Maybe that park doesn’t care, doesn’t normally have a problem or maybe as I just posted you are looking for silence hours and they only offer quiet hours.

Well this seems like a good place to ask a question I have been wanting to ask:
Is a tent on top of a vehicle, say a jeep or pickup or you choice, a TENT or a VEHICLE (camper}??
If a tent then can the tent drive across the campground to drive up onto the newly made and framed tent site, or park in the parking area for the camp site?

While admittedly a small number, most campgrounds I've been to are paved. The tents have to be carried from the car to the tent spot anywhere from 10-30 yards away. So the tent on the jeep is an RV as it is parked on wheels in a parking spot. It's really no different than a truck camper with a popup canvas top. A VW Westfalia with a popup canvas top or even a popup tent trailer.

Not a tent, it’s a vehicle. It doesn’t have an RVIA certification so many parks can go to the fine print in their rules and not accept the rig if it looks like Jed and Granny pieced it together after a wild night of checkers for money down in Bugtussle.

"The wildlife is wild. Your children cannot pet the elk, ride the bison, or take a bear cub home, so don’t try".
Violation, or disregarding of this single Rule, Suggestion, Idea, or what ever, is probably the reason for most deaths or injuries involving wild animals in our National Parks and Forests.
There are generally, signs around most of these parks, to the effect of, Caution, Stay X # of feet/yards away from animals, I have never seen a sign saying this is a petting zoo, yet people are seen routinely treating them as if they were.
Some of these animals can kill you, some will eat you after they kill you.![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/rolleyes.gif "rolleyes")
