Stovepipe...if they want your stuff...they are going to take it.
I don't worry myself too much about the small stuff and I have insurance for the big stuff.
Good luck for what you decide to do.

Never had a problem. Like others have said just don't leave expensive stuff laying around.

I have never had a problem, nor have I ever heard of a problem anywhere I have ever camped. I do make a point to introduce myself & family to any camping neighbors. Allthough I don't lock up everything everytime I leave camp, I do not leave valuebles out in open. I may leave lantern, grill & chairs & stuff out but I don't really worry about it, I generally tell camp neighbors we are gonna be gone & ask if they need anything while we are out and that kinda lets them know to keep an eye out. Just about everyone I have ever met in a campground were great folks. And locking the door only keeps the "honest folks" out.

Never had a problem at any campsite or heard of one either. You may lose a little kids toy by a 3 year old but that is mostly it. BUT do not leave anything in the shower house it will be gone in minutes. Never could figure out why someone would take a used comb or tooth brush or a used bar of soap, but you could see thousands of dollars of saddles setting around and no one would touch them!

We couldn't secure our stuff if we tried. Just too easy for someone to rip you off. But we generally meet the "Neighbors" when we go and pay attention to who's around.
Around here, there's no problems. But bad people look just like honest folks and you just never know...

been lucky I guess because we have never had a problem leaving stuff at the campsite. Just got back from Spring River for the first time. There are some rough looking people in that neck of the woods but had 0 issues.

Never had any issues personally, never left the camper out for months or anything though. I know there has been issues in my county though of people setting up meth labs in campers that deer hunters have left in the woods for extended periods.
