I love the lights. Looks so festive. Looks so happy. Looks like folks are enjoying rving. I never been to a campground that said no lights. Guess I am following the rules.

If there was a problem with light why is it that most if not all federal campground offer fire pits (light) and a lantern pole for, what? Light. Lights have always been part of the campground scene in one fashion or another.

Enjoy the festivities

Note that a campfire or a lantern is a much more subdued light; unlike the flashing blue lights on RVs.

If you are afraid of the dark stay home or stick to Walmart parking lots. Why ruin the experience for people who are not?

Cab you quote one person who said they have lights because they're scared of the dark?

For some, regardless of what you think, having lights is part of the EXPERIENCE while camping.

Don't like lights, then maybe you should find somewhere else to camp. These people have every right to use lights on their site as long as they're within the rules of the CG.

And I'm guessing some people just can't afford campground fees, and want everything in life free.......or they're afraid of electricity.......

Flashing blue lights. That was not the rv lights that was the po po.

Dont know what lantern you used but the old coleman gas lantern had a very bright light radius. Lit up not only our campsite but also those ones on either side. The good ole days. When camping was camping
