Hey I resemble that remark
Back to topic...... Etiquette should be policed by the park owners/managers as per their own guidelines no doubt how big or small the perpetrator's are!!
Reminds me of a story an old guy (Yes older than me!!!) told me once. He had a group of large, tattooed, bearded campers et up next to him that partied until all hours of the morning..... He waited until first thing in the morning when there was some movement next door (About 6ish) and played a sound recording of a movie that he taped ..... Let's just say the recording was of a movie with a higher adult rating than R rated
Long story short.... He messed his hair up and went outside and sat down with a cigarette...... The starry eyed neighbour walked over and said "Having a good start to the day hey?"..... Old mate looked up and said "Yeah and if you Bas***d's keep up the noise tonight you'll be next!!!!". Come 10 o'clock and the tents were packed and they were gone!
Oh !!!! then not Girl On Face............
I try to limit nighttime use of my air conditioner as much to give me a quiet night as everyone else, but if it's too hot, then will run it all night. In winter, electric fan heater or oil radiator is better anyway.
The thing that annoys me most is adults cutting through my pitch.

OK... been watching this thread for a little while and some good things put up. From where I see it:
1. If it's hot, run your aircon. It's the same as walking around the suburbs at night.
2. Empty your dunny when you like. Hell, take mine if you feel like it. Most dump points are at least a little isolated from accommodation, but wind controls everything.
3. Don't walk through my site unless I know you. I don't walk across your front lawn at home.
4. Don't run gennies all night. Or at night at all.
5. When driving in the park at night, consider the effect of your headlights. I don't need a tan off your high beams or latest bunny burners whilst you sit working out how to get into your site or just cruise around doing laps.
6. Just be considerate about noise. I like music, and life around the parks, but that doesn't need to go long into the night.
And above all...
7. Watch and control your kids once the sun goes down. Don't let your kids whizz through the park on their bike after dark. Don't let the play cricket in the dark.
Geez... don't I sound like a ball of fun....

Hey @Smergen .
All of them I agree with...common courtesy.
BUT....I only raised the issue of dunny dumping times as an example of how etiquette changes over time. ...and a bit of tongue in cheek!
AND....I still don't know how late it's acceptable to wander around in your night attire...if you wear same, that is. I was asked the question and have no idea ...but maybe it is an etiquette item?
You can do the research when you're on the road soon.

Those that sleep naked should never roam around in there night wear @Crusty181
this was asked on a Jayco Forum on Faceache, general consensus was if your on holiday - whats the rush to get dressed unless you have to go out
If the Drover wandered around in his night attire, well the park would empty out quick smart...........................................a mixture of envy and desire would cause it though..............................and I would be in big trouble I think.......................
Overall I think just a bit of common courtesy is all thats required.................if it's not too late teach your kids what the hell it is.......even your grandkids.

No issues with PJs walking around the park. I think it's safe to say that parks generally have a different dress code than normal society.
Thanks guys....I'll consider joining face whatsis to improve my understanding of this important issue.
I have been known to count the number and colours of robes and whether they've been appropriated from some hotel.
and, particularly in WA, the 'brunch coat brigade'.....there seem to be lots of them but maybe they're Easterners on long nomad missions so they need them
and, definitely agree about the proliferation of small persons, unsupervised, late at night. Dangerous and noisy, as well.
Silly question but why do kids under five communicate via screams these days?
(Apologies...today is too hot to be a GOF)

(tongue in cheek people - tongue in cheek)
because mummy wont listen to them while they are naughty, so they scream louder and louder to attract her attention
mummy should give them a "clip under the ears" and tell them the shut the fork up is what mummy should do
but apparently it makes children less likely to be able to socialise in later life if you discipline them
