You are certainly not incorrect in how you feel about this (how you feel is how you feel), I do not agree with you about condemning the entire Kentucky State Park system based on your one experience.
When you make a post and express an opinion that most other RV.net members do not agree with, what kind of responses did you expect to get? Of course you are free to express yourself. And others are free to disagree with you and express themselves in doing so.
We recently spent several weeks in Kentucky at several different state parks, although not the one you mentioned. We were out of state campers. We found them to be well run and we enjoyed our experience. Campground hosts and DNR employees were very kind and helpful.
We were at one state park during a week that included Halloween. The CG went from a nice quiet CG with just a few campers during the week, to a jam-packed CG with tons of people, large inflatable halloween decorations, music, cavorting and of course trick or treating by the little ones. This isn't necessarily our normal or expected camping experience. But you have to learn to roll with the punches and get along.
You voiced your concerns to the park system so you've done your part.
It would be nice if they acknowledged your email, but they are under no obligation to do so. Consider this: They had a campground full of happy people participating in their Garage Sale. They had one discontented camper.
Easy solution for you - Move along and don't camp there anymore. (It appears you've made that decision.) As for me, I will HAPPILY return to Kentucky to experience their beautiful and well-run state parks.
