Making the neighbors angry
Don't go to a family campground like Lakewood in Myrtle Beach on July 4th if you don't want to see/hear kids running around. It says in big letters FAMILY CAMPGROUND. That typically means kids. ...

I'd also add that what a parent considers "kids being kids" is often "kids out of control" to everyone else (including other parents). There are levels of "screaming" also - there's yelling words, shrieking in high pitched tones, etc.
I also think that the term "family campground" is misleading. What exactly is a family campground? Is it one that offers amenities like playgrounds and face painting? Or is it simply a campground not dedicated to "adult activities not appropriate for children"? Who made the determination that the campground is for families and therefore an adult couple shouldn't be able to stay and expect not to hear kids screaming all day?
To me, the question "why did they choose to camp here?" is unfair. Why shouldn't they camp there? Why should they have to disperse camp to enjoy the outdoors their way? Why is it that those who keep to themselves are wrong and those bringing food and fun for other people's kids "doing it right"?
I'm not saying this as an attack against the OP or anyone else - just pointing out that we all share the outdoors and none have a greater right to it than anyone else.
This.
Common courtesy applies regardless of when and where you are. I'm sure if someone cranked Metallica all day someone could find it overwhelming, but it's no different than kids screaming all day long.
The average camping fee doesn't include "screaming brats at no extra charge.."
