The trip from Hell, ah yes remember it like yesterday. 2 years ago.
Booked a spot in a campground about two hours from us that we never had been to before. This was in close proximity to my Daughters college and we were going to have her and a friend over for a campfire. We get to the park and find that they overbooked the main sites but they had an "overflow" kind of area that was a big field (probably 3 acres ish) with a nice pavilion in the center of it. The outside edge had full hookups and the office told us we were in luck because it's a nice quiet area outside of the main area where the rec hall was. Well, rain was in the forecast so we cancelled the daughters visit and took them to dinner instead. When we got back to the campsite it was pouring and saw a bunch of golf carts surrounding the pavilion. Apparently all the seasonal campers met there to have a party due to rain. My first thought was, cool they are having a cookout and maybe I would even venture over later. Well, that was short lived as the swearing and yelling that started soon after made sure I wasn't going over. Now, I'm no prude and can party and swear with the best of them, but I had our two small boys with us and they were getting quite the education. I figured they would quiet down come curfew....but no, this went on until 4:00 am, loud cursing, mostly from one drunk chick. Golf carts doing donuts in teh wet grass. Even someone yelling over (sarcastically) "Good Night" followed by laughter when we shut off our out door light. No sleep rain and rude people make for a horrible night. The next morning when the office opened I went and complained to the owner (young 30's female who inherited the camp when her parents passed), and was told point blank that she could not control the group of seasonal campers that come every weekend to party and get passed-out drunk. Basically she didn't even apologize or offer a refund, so I didn't push for one but made sure every review I could find online on this place included the "party" atmosphere seeing they left that out of their online profile. She did reply to one of my reviews stating they are trying to change the way people act there.
