Here's where I get called out for flaming....I have become tired of civility as a response to ignorance. I don't suffer fools and I don't validate or enable bad behavior either. I would have done as the op did....but only after management failed its' responsibility to uphold peace.

When in the OP's situation, I try and remind myself, they maybe, really great hard working folks, who are just letting their hair down a bit. As long as they are playing by the rules, they have as much right to be there as I do, so I have not much reason to complain. It is not their problem if I want to go to bed early, or have a kid we are trying to get to sleep. They have no obligation to accommodate me.
And a lot of the noise complaint, may well be driven not so much, as to them being really out of line, as it is, by the fact we are all jammed into spots like sardines. Where you are so close you can hear the neighbor burp.
Don't like loud neighbors either, but sometimes it is what it is. And is best just to roll with it, rather than going to war with them.

I was also at a Lake George campground very recently. You could hear a pin drop.
Rudeness knows no geographical boundaries.

The OP did what ... probably ... most of us WISH we had the guts to do but don't because we live by civilized rules, or else we are just too da** afraid of confritation and reprocussions. Darn... i wish i had the nerve to respond the way the OP did. Guess I'm just too chicken or just too old now to throw a good punch!

I had a group of campers where I am hosting that didn't get adjoining sites and my site was between them vs walking around a corner in the road. Fortunately they left yesterday because they would walk through my site right across my ground mat unless I was outside. So they knew they shouldn't be doing it, but would if they thought I wasn't looking.
Yesterday morning I saw one of them coming carrying two cups of coffee. Now I'm supposed to be nice to campers at all times so I walked out in front of this guy and asked him if I could help him. He wouldn't make eye contact, but said "no". I then asked if he needed any directions since he was walking through my site vs the road. He declined this too as he was still walking - still no eye contact. I then said "well have a nice day". When he came back for more coffee for his remote group he walked around the road.

Again, seems even here the rude people are accepted.

In rereading my post, we did talk to staff after the first night, the security did stop and tell them to turn off the radio. I did tell them nicely the first night that it was too much, too late and we had a baby trying to sleep. The second night I again tried nicely, but I had enough when I was told to wear earplugs.
We were not told to move, we opted because management was unable to handle the situation. Again, seems even here the rude people are accepted.

As said above, Lake George is and has been for years the drinking capital of the northeast. If you want quiet that is not the place to go.
I would also complain if someone turned there lights on other campers in the middle of the night.
