I (and my siblings who also camp / RV ) even avoid the advertised "getaway" locations around our region - no beach, no Poconos, no Raystown lake -too crowded / crazy....IMO, people are like caged rats - too many in too small of and area and someone is gonna chew on someone else's tail....
One trip to a DE state park was the worst camping experience I have ever had - the loud drunken parties did not stop all night long. One camper was chopping firewood all night...looking back, I realized the fact that they had the largest quiet hours / rules sign I have ever seen should have been a clue.....
