Sorry about those problems! Gee, maybe I have been lucky! Over these last 12 years of camping in my Granby, never had a major problem of where I parked/camped in Ca/Nev/Or ----again, most of us try to avoid those road side over night types and the popular over crowded ones that have heavy use and high turn overs just because camping there can be a free for all! When I first got the pop-up, and I was unsure of where to park especially if they had the spaces marked for RV, tent camping etc,, I asked and did what they said (if they knew) and I usually ended up parking in the smaller rv ones and left the trailer and -as a former back packer-the obvious tent camper ones alone. Although one cold and rainy winter day, the ranger let me camp in a tent space near a trail head at one of the more popular Ca coastal CG's. Luck and time of year and very few other campers can make all the difference to a fun time.
As a rule -unless I was told I could-I never parked in the tent ones. In the more primitive dry type CG's, we go to, hopefully, the trailers and large RV's can not get there and that problem goes away-after all isn't that why we bought the pop-up in the first place-to get away from the milling masses? Trip planning, whether to the out back or off of coastal hw1, it is still a must since all states, fed agencies and private areas can and have different rules and those unpleasant surprises can be avoided by that phone call. I still try to travel on the week days, stop early and camp if I can and be set up and be hidden away by the time any week end crowds(?) show up.
