Residentials and generators - all day.
I'm in a rustic no-hookups CG where I'm fortunate to be able camp well away from a newbie with an i-Power brand inverter generator that he runs ALL DAY. Why? Because he has a residential refrigerato...

So they need 120 power. They do not need it 24/7.
I have NEVER heard of a campground that does not have some "quiet time". Usually no later than 9 or 10 PM and until about 8 AM. See what the rules are.
Second, talk to him, nicely. See if there is an Eco-mode on his generator and he has tried it.
Third, you can quiet ANY generator a lot by A) pointing the exhaust toward an empty space and B) placing noise barriers around it.
For probably less than $20 he can make a 5 sided box (again, open side pointed away from others) out of 2" foam board. Temporarily atpe it together leaving one of the long faces open. Make sure there is about 4" of air space on all sides of the generator. Get some 1/2" wooden dowel rod and cut it into about 4" lengths. Using a 3/8" drill bit, drill a couple of holes through each face into each edge. Press the short piece of dowel rods into the hole.
That is just one design. Many other designs can be imagined. Make sure there is plenty of air circulation and any opening are point away from occupied areas (UP is only occupied by the birds.)
