Greet first, rules second. Before you point at signs or start listing check‑out times, start with something simple and human: “Hey! How was the drive?” That one question: - Lowers people’s guard so they feel welcome, not inspected - Makes the “rules talk” feel like guidance from a host, not a lecture from security​ When guests feel seen and cared for, they’re way more likely to respect the guidelines, the campground, and you.​ How do you open a check‑in conversation before you get to the rules?
