That's the great thing about camping, there is such a vast diversity in the different ways we do it and the equipment we use to do it with. I may not want to be parked next to a generator but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate someone spending the extra cash to get the quietest thing they can afford.

Again. there is NO such thing as a quiet generator in a Blue Ridge Parkway Campground.

There is a reason I put the time, effort and money into being able to camp out in the middle of no where. It was so I never had to listen to someone's generator OR listen to someone complain about someones generator. It is also so that no one ever has to hear mine if we ever do need it, hear our dogs bark because we around things for them to bark at. Out there the only noises we hear are nature and the noise we make.

Now if we chose to go to a campground, and I mean any campground, I know that there will be noises outside of nature there and have to accept that as part of being there. I'm just glad the jerk that ran his generator 24/7 in the next spot had a Honda 3000 and not the open frame I could hear from across the lake.

Sometimes you just have to count your blessings.

On the BRP. You can hear a Honda across the lake. Shoot. You can hear a lantern across the lake.
last year as we came out of the camper. We heard a generator. Couldn't see it. Turned out. It was a small Honda. The kind you can carry with one hand, about the size of a battery. Was loud enough to hear 100' away. Kept the deer away. they came back after he left.

IMOP. IF a person wants all the luxuries of home, and can't live without electricity for a couple of days. Stay in a CG that has electricity, and leave the primitive CGs to the campers. And BTW. No one can run their generator 24/7 up there.
