Quiet hours

Anybody have any suggestions on the best way to enforce "quiet hours"?

I've even suggested to some late nighters that maybe I'll be doing some gas powered weed whacking around their site at 7:00am when quiet hours are over so maybe they want to get some sleep!

I read your blog, also. Love the posts and the pictures!!!

Would a call to the local Sheriff be possible? You said that you cannot kick them out in case they are drunk. So, that means that they probably know that and will only respond to a higher authority.... I would contact the Sheriff, now during the day, and see what your options are when it happens again ... Just my $.02 worth 🙂

Good luck.

I checked out your blog post on this. The sign won't help. If somebody wants to play dumb (sometimes not playing) they'll just say they didn't see the sign. I agree with one of the commenters on your blog - drinking and noise go hand in hand.

I worked at a campground in the Ocala National Forest one season. Apparently it had a reputation as a party campground cuz we had all sorts of trouble every week. On the brighter side, the local sheriff was very quick to respond when we called. When a camper gets cuffed and tossed in the back of a cruiser, the rest of the campground tends to get very quiet. 🙂

I read your blog. You let them stay, so in fact you did not "enforce" the rules. I understand your compassion for the family.

He knew it was a empty threat. What did the man learn? He can do whatever he wants!

This is why the "no alcohol" rule is effective. Quiet is subjective, alcohol possession is objective. And you can always bet of their is obnoxious behavior, there is alcohol. Then it is easy to evict the offenders for breaking a rule...possessing alcohol. If the offenders are especially obnoxious, the local law enforcement could pay them a visit. The threat of visiting the local jail usually has a sobering effect, if not then the ride in the police car usually quiets the offending person and the rest of the group still left in the campground.
