Wherever possible I camp in a campground that prohibits generators. I've noticed that out here in the West there are more and more of them available. Some, like Zion National Park, are reducing the hours in which a generator can be operated in campgrounds that allow them.
Noise pollution is coming to the forefront as an issue in our National Parks and recreation areas. If this is a concern to you it's a good time to get involved.
I support the National Parks and the National Forest that are making no-generator campgrounds available and I encourage anyone here that objects to generator noise to contact the National Park and National Forest administrators to make your opinion known. It makes a bigger difference than you might suspect.
Good point. As with all a-holery, we just need to petition to get rules in place. Shouldn't have to, but as this thread proves, we do.
That is what I will do now actively. If the generator next to me is loud and/or stinky (some aren't tho, not talking about those) I am going to the office. I will also try to recruit other suffering neighbors to do the same. I used to try and ignore it. But now, knowing the attitude behind it (I always chalked it up to ignorance and not malice/entitlement) I am motivated.
It is a shame, but just like texting in theaters, I guess we are gonna have to get more stinking rules in place.
Yea yea I know generator dudes, texting in theaters without a rule against it is fine, it is your phone and you will do what you want by golly.
