The group with the lack of morals is the first party, not the second.
Those who let other's behavior ruin their weekend need to learn the concept of "communal living" and just get over it. If it was that upsetting you should have just left and gone home. If there's a "bad" situation when camping, I've experienced it. You can either let it control you or find a way to deal with it.
