Opinion on a campground?

I love this forum and although I do not post very often I have read most everything the past couple of years and learned a lot from the kind people who are here to assist everyone.

I stated twice already but will try again for the sake of valhalla360 mainly. I will try to go slowly just for him this time.

I am not trashing the campground. If I were, I would name them. I stated in the original post and I quote "... Broke every rule known to any camper. I will not go into each and every rule." I thought most intelligent people would know what that meant.

But just for you I will list a few. "NO GLASS. STRICTLY INFORCED." It was all caps in the rules. Beer bottles were everywhere. "No more than four campers per site." They likely averaged around eight or nine but by dark they were mostly at one campsite.

"Responsible drinking is allowed in concealed containers or a koozie. Those intoxicated will be removed or asked to leave the property." They compound fractured this one.

"Keep noise including the playing of music or shouting at a reasonable level." They slaughtered this one.

"Guests and visitors must leave premises by 6 pm." The guests not camping started arriving after six the first night.

I could go on. All I wanted was to know was if anyone thought the 12:30 am quiet time was strange on the surface. Jeez!

Thank you for providing a little more detail. "broke every rule known to any camper" means nothing. Could be a wild out of control bacchanalian orgy or could be a grumpy old guy upset that other people are having fun.

A few of the items seem legitimate but others seem like being a busy body:
- Who cares if they have glass bottles or if they hide them in koozies? That sounds more like a hassle for staff to clean up if they get broken. It's not really for the benefit of other guests.
- Unfortunately not being there we have no idea if the music was too loud or if they were over the top intoxicated. This could be very subjective, so understandable if it's not clear cut, they don't want to get middle of it.
- As far as the number of guests per site, that's usually referencing how many sleep at the site. It's not normally a limit on how many can congregate at a site. Been camping for 50yrs and it's never meant that you aren't allowed to visit other campsites for fear of exceeding the site limit.

Guests after 6pm could be an issue but as an event center (in addition to campground), were they covered as event visitors?

So based on the updated info...probably not an ideal response from the staff but doesn't indicate a horrible situation.

PS: I was referring to the other posters saying to lambaste the campground when they really had no idea what really happened.
