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.

Older couple behind me gave us the stink-eye all weekend. I tried and my mother in law tried to say hi, but they turned their backs on us. Literally turned their chairs the other way.
4 families all around them with kids. We didn't know each other, but our kids had a great time. I think 4 girls an 2 boys from 6 to 12 years old. They're gonna scream a little.
  • My DH and I are usually without our grown children and the grandchildren, so we sort of enjoy listening to and watching other folks' youngsters carrying on around the campground. Hey they're outside and being active. They aren't so noisy and so far we haven't any running through our campsite or being in our face all weekend. The young men skidding on their bikes in the road in front of our site though scared me silly...fortunately nothing happened.
  • On a recent camping trip, we made a campfire to roast marshmallows, etc. It appeared our neighbors were (possibly) annoyed with it, so I invited them over to share our fire. They quickly accepted and we all had a nice evening telling stories and getting to know each other.
  • Ya know, I really don't like kids who are noisy. I don't hold it against them we were all children at some point. Some friends and I went camping this summer
    We stayed at a state park. Right smack behind The
    Playground! There were lots of kids out but they didn't bother me at all.
    It was kinda fun watching them play. Some times I wish I was that young again!
  • We try not to camp on any major holidays but usually go the week before and pull out on Friday. Seems like most times people just want to let go, which is great, but sometimes its just to much and they have no consideration for the neighboring rvers. But this is also how you can tell the rvers from those who just own rvs. So why be miserable and adjust the schedule. Its also easier for traveling. Were a family and we try to be considerate of our neighbors but some just arent and for those its a conversation as most have no clue, after that its up to management to maintain our experience if they want us back.
