A little venting session!

I should have known better after reading all the good advice here on RV.net, but I gave it a try anyway. Camping in a commercial C/G on a holiday weekend is not for me again. Some tent campers next door, after drinking beer and shots straight out of a whiskey bottle all afternoon, commenced to ranting about the government by screaming with “F” bombs as loud as they could for over an hour and in front of children and young adults. These were some very classy folks here at Greenland Cove C/G in Danforth, Maine. After dusk came the music arrived from the same folks on MAXIUMN volume for over five hours and no quiet came until after 2300 hours. I choose not to say anything because I have to leave the C/G and the DW will be here alone. If I had contacted C/G management they would have pointed the finger toward me as being the one who complained about the noise, so in order to keep my DW safe in my absence, I kept my frustrations to myself. On future holidays we will be boon docking.

Anyone else here had similar experiences while camping? Thanks for allowing me to vent.

    If you don't complain to management, then you don't have a complaint


    Exactly.

    In 10 years of camping, I've never run into that, but we stay exclusively at state parks. Th CG host will usually handle these things and if he/she gets some lip, the ranger is called to toss the a-holes out. If necessary, they call the rangers with the Red/Blue light bar on the truck and a shotgun in the front seat. These boys/girls are packing some serious heat and have arrest powers like normal law enforcement so few will mess with them, and if they do, it's at their peril. In private cg's you could very well be on your own.
