Dumb Question about Tent Only sites
Ok - We are seriously thinking of buying an ATC Panther shell or a Four Wheel Hawk shell. With a pop-up cabover camper, can we use Tent-Only sites?

hot water heater running
water pump cycling on and off at night
TV's running
worse yet Generators running
lights turned on all night.
ON the other hand as an RV owner I avoid tent sites because they seem to have a higher rate of late night partying. I realize in some spots if the nation its inherently cooler (like out west during summer) but I have seen people with tents running generators so they can have AC in the tent.
I've seen and heard tenters using generators for all sorts of things - including lights (all night), AC or heaters, tv or stereos or projectors for movies, fridges, etc.
At the smaller campgrounds I visit (under 50 sites), tenters are mixed in with RVers with no problem. Usually a tent only site designation is made dependent upon tree growth over the sites and varies each year.
At larger campgrounds (over 100 sites), there are tent only loops that have the group parking pad and you walk a ways to each site.
At none of these campgrounds are there "RV only sites" - whether hookups or not.
