It never fails to amaze me how friendly people are when there aren't wooden walls between "neighbors".
On Saturday when we got to our campsite, one set of neighbors offered us the use of a hammer to pound the tent pegs. It wasn't needed since we had brought our own, but it was nice they offered never the less.
On Sunday evening, after dinner, we were finishing a game fo cards and the neighbors across the way began to play some dance music on their car stereo. My daughter and I decided we wanted to do some of the dances so we set the same songs to play on our laptop. We began dancing at our site and they saw us and told us to come on over and join them. We ended up there dancing to several songs.
Also on Sunday, while at the pool, my teens met another set of teens that were siblings. THe four of them played frisbee and ball off and on through out the afternoon. They later came and sat with my kids around our campfire that night, talking about band and wrestling, snow and floods.
Smores were eaten, conversation flowed and neighbors of a few hours in the space of time got to know each other better. What a wonderful way to spend outdoors.

Campers are some of the friendliest people we've ever met. I so miss our old tent camping days! The KOA cabins are fine and fun, but the tenting is a world of its own. Do it as often as you can!
