Sounds alot like a pot calling a kettle black. Everyone has a different style of camping. While you may not consider a large group gathering together at one site "camping", a single couple in a tent probably thinks the same thing about you with your "house on wheels".
No "pot" here :R ... Ontario provincial park regulations specify no more than 6 people on a site, no more than 3 shelters, only one of which can be a trailer, and depending on the park in question either just one vehicle or in some cases two. On that same trip there were countless sites with easily a dozen or more people camping overnight on the site in multiple tents, in one case with four vehicles jammed into the site, in another case with two popups parked on the site - ALL in clear violation of the stated regulations. Oh, and as far as "obtrusive noise" is concerned the accepted rule is if it can be heard beyond your own campsite then it's TOO LOUD. Whether you care or not, WE obey these rules and expect others to do the same - but in far too many cases those "others" don't, nor are park staff willing to enforce rules designed to control this obtrusive behaviour. As for my "house on wheels" these parks are specifically designed for them so whether that large ILLEGAL crowd on the site next to me approves or not I could care less -
they are the ones who are in violation of the rules, which in fact wouldn't be necessary in the first place if everyone just used a little bit of common sense and common courtesy. Apparently a concept quite a few just too stupid and inconsiderate to understand. :M
