Guys with generators ....
First let me start by saying we are actually tent camping this weekend . My wife is determined we do not loose our roots. Anyways, for the love of god, please spend the extra $500 and buy a quite gene...

X 512 on the use of a contractor's generator
I have a Honda and it is relatively quiet. I still am nervous using it and I always follow the hours of use posted in the campgrounds.
Last week I was up fishing and staying in a tent. There was a guy not far away in a small trailer and he cranked up his "Champion" generator. It was a new one, an inverter type and was also pretty quiet. I have seen these advertised and they are cheaper than a Honda or Yamaha. Shortly after he started it, it started to pulsate as if it had a large load applied. The problem is that this pulsating repeated at 1 or 2 second intervals and continued non stop until he shut it down. That mas more annoying than having a louder gen running. I suppose, it still is "you get what you pay for" when it comes to generators.
