As to the "move or live with it" respondents, there is a 3rd choice: make it uncomfortable for them to be there. Because we nearly always pick spots that are under-populated (such as where we are now with less than 10% occupancy spread over 460 acres) and we fairly obviously set up in an unwelcoming fashion, we have only had to deal with this directly once in 13 years of fulltiming.

We were boondocking in the desert. Our nearest neighbor was roughly 1/2 mile away. Wouldn't ya know it....rig came in and set up 300' from us. In the middle of the freakin' desert!

In relatively close quarters you will never find more respectful neighbors than we. We don't allow sounds, smells, lights etc. to escape our site when it is necessary to park next to someone (usually an assigned site in an RV park on our way to somewhere else).

SO, we cranked up the tunes (400 RMS watts available into 6 bodacious speakers), built a smoky fire upwind of them and cranked up the generator, which, given our solar panels, we rarely use, but boy did we use it that day :)

The guy had the gall to come over and ask us if we'd turn the music down. While sweeping my arms toward the vast expanse of the unoccupied desert I said, "No, this is what we do...your choice pal". They moved the next morning.
