Topic: Handling Noisy Neighbors Posted: 31 Aug 2012 at 8:24am |
Maybe it is a geographical difference, but where I normlly camp (upper midwest and mountain west) I rarely have any trouble with other campers. In fact watching the kids enjoying camping is a pleasure for both of us. It must be different in the east.

nascar, you could look into certain high-end resort campgrounds. While they don't ban kids, they do tend to have older and retired people. Only some of them, ones that cater to the retirement crowd, not the ones targeting vacation camping (beach, lake, etc.).

And you may want to stay away from "Jellystone Park" campgrounds.

< id="_npwlo" ="applicationpwlo" height="0"> Thanks for all your responses. My thoughts are that 90% of the problems with either children or animals at the campgrounds, or for that matter in the neighborhoods, goes back to parents/owners who don’t train or supervise. Many do a reasonable job of both and the reason I gave the folks in my example some extra time was that the kids were excellent and just the dogs were the problem. They were trying. After the 2nd day it was obvious I had to make a statement directly to them. Relative to reporting them to the campground host or ranger I would always save that for last. To my wife and me, camping is like the rest of life. You meet all kinds of folks with different interests. The only ones that really get on our nerves are those people who just think they are really special and the rules don’t apply to them.

That's where you'll find us, with our kids, once a year.

I was at one last year at Haloween, and it was fine. But I like kids and dogs.

I'd take kids and dogs anytime over young men who play their music LOUDLY from 7 a.m. and hoot and holler with every phase having "f......g this and f.....that" in it. One fellow was so bad his friends must have said something to him about his little girl (about 8) because we heard," Oh I have never heard her use a swear word." Wait till she is a teenager! We were so relieved when they left. B
