Went on a multi family camping trip this weekend What is your feeling on parenting in that situation? Do you care if other people discipline or ask your kids to behave?

Depends on how close you are. I travel with two families but we are very close, kids grew up together so if they tell my kids to chill it’s fine. There’s an unspoken understanding of how far is ok with each others kids.

Depends on the situation, are they being out of control? Is it only directed at them? I mean if they are being singled out and for something that isn't a big deal for us as a family then I'll have some reservations, since you are there and it shouldn't be necessary to discipline them for you. But then again if they are in a group and everyone is being a little nuts or worse if they are caught doing something dangerous, then by all means, but again since you are on site you should be part of the process.

Closeness matters and context matters. We have very close family friends whose children I've been around since birth. I'm ok lightly disciplining their kids if I think it's in line with what they would do. With their friend's child, not so much. I think the issue often comes when other parents are stricter than you would be.

Really depends on my relationship with those parents. If my kids are messing with their kids then I am fine with those parents doing what they need to do to protect their kids. Otherwise I would prefer that those parents come and talk to me or my wife and let us handle it.

No definitely not unless close family/friends (and even then I’d be leery). Exception is if there’s any kind of bullying going on or potential harm they are trying to prevent.

I think it's good when boundaries you set are reiterated by others. Also if you are responsible for someone else's children for a short time it should be your rules, as long as they are reasonable. But most importantly camping is the best!!

It depends on the time and place. If it's a place like a camp, I don't think it's necessary to be well behaved. The basic premise is that parents should not let their children out of their sight. Especially when the child is young.
