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.

Yeah that's totally fair, I felt weird writing that because that was how I was brought up thinking of it. I suppose where I live, the dispersed camping is very clean cut and does show up on NFS listings, so I've learned to think of it differently recently. I suppose at the very least me and many other people just call any first come first serve camping "dispersed" because of this 🤷‍♀️

Whatever the case, it certainly doesn't need to be a backpacking spot.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
