If you live a million years you'll still never understand why someone would park right next to you in a forest campground when there's dozens upon dozens of empty spots with more privacy available.

This just happened to me the other night.

I'm in a dispersed camping spot in a National Forest. It's not crowded.
I go to sleep around 9:30PM and wake up at 4:30AM to someone parked right next to me. There's no trees between us and no possible way that they did not see my car.

As I drive out of the forest I pass dozens of empty spots.

This has happened to me twice. Who are the people who do this?
There's no rational explanation for it.

Instinctual survival habits.

If you asked them why, they likely couldn't give you an answer, or they'd rationalize one on the spot without realizing it.

We have millions of years of evolution telling us it's better to be grouped up to sleep, and just a couple generations at most for recreational camping etiquette.

Instincts will always wins that battle

So the cars can cuddle when you're not looking ❤️

I don’t want my car to be lonely while I’m out in nature. If you’re lonely, they’re lonely…give them a friend.
