We had an incident on our way down to WDW and I've been meaning to post to ask opinions about it. Finally sitting down to do it...
I had made reservations at Bryn Mawr resort in St. Augusting, FL a few weeks in advance. We rolled the campground at about 10:30 at night. There was a registration envelope waiting for us in a folder outside the office (which was closed), so there's no doubt that they were expecting us.
At our spot, there was an extension cord plugged into our hook up spot. DH just unplugged it and plugged ours in. He told me all this after the fact... I might have followed the cord to see where it went to let them know that they were in our spot. I might not have, though, as it was almost 11 pm.
It wasn't the camper right next to us, as it was clear that they were plugged into their own correct hook up. It was a camper at least two spots away - and you couldn't see that far in the dark.
A half hour or so later, we heard someone poking around outside by the hookup, and then heard them reeling in their cord. We were already in bed, otherwise we might have gone out to talk with them. Probably not, though - I know I would have been afraid of being yelled at.
Was DH increadibly rude to unplug without a warning, or would you have went over that late at night to let them know you were unplugging their camper, even though knocking would probably wake them up? It was very quiet - it seemed like the whole campground was asleep.
Or, was it rude of the other campers to plug into our hook up? They would have had to go quite a ways, it's not like they had confused ours for theirs.
Or should the campground have checked the site to make sure nobody else was hooked up to it before they closed down for the night?
Any thoughts on this? We're relatively new campers, so any advice on camping etiquette would be appreciated

as many times as you can.
Then you get your lawn chair and that 1.000.000.000.000 spot light and wait.
,lol, I think I am afraid to go camping with you around now
, It could have been an emergency but either way I would not wanted to stick around and find out especially if you did what you said. 
It would be like that movie "lake view terrace" all over again 
(you were the one who started the clothesline thread right?) Looks like another classic.
Funny!
