Why assume I like your music

We just came back from a lovely weekend at Ringing Rocks Family Campground. We went up with a group occupying 10 campsites in total (14 adults, 9 kids). The children were loud (mostly at the playground) all day. The adults were loud (mostly due to beer) at night until quiet hours started. Then the adults were a hushed sort of loud until everyone petered out and toddled to bed.

It was very nice, but DW and I stayed one extra day after everyone else left. The silence of that last night and the next morning was an absolute blessing to my ears.

Wow. Ringing Rock! I haven't been there since I was a kid. Definitely have to add that to the trip list this season!

Our next trip (May 11-15) will be to Knoebels Grove!

Probably right you are!

I expect that the adult spoiled brat mind is pretty much closed off to change - barring some strong occurrence that often never comes.

That's why it's better to worry about your own. You CAN change yourself for the better, you can rarely change someone else.

Our experience is just the opposite. We find that the noise makers are more often found in the State Parks, at least on the weekends. We try to avoid State Parks on the weekends if we can.

I think that's what mgirardo meant by "public campgrounds" - campgrounds run/owned by the local, state or federal government.

Here in Northern California, there is usually more partying at large reservoir campgrounds. Campgrounds by small lakes, rivers and creeks are usually quieter.

This thread is a great reason to boondock camp.

I like to play music, but ask people around me if it is okay Then I play low key western music with trad instruments. Most people actually like it and want to hear more. I turn off all music usually by 1900. Mostly just for the cocktail hour and maybe dinner.
