Why? Because it was THEIR park, not yours. Did they really need the permission of some new caretaker in order to return? I think not.

When we had the tent, tent trailer and hybrid, I knew I needed to get something more hard-walled just for the peace and quiet cause I'm a very light sleeper. I usually complained straight to the people making the noise (yes, had some problems with that, but that's another story for another day...) but they usually turned it down once I complained to them directly.<br />I have even moved sites because of the noise. But I don't usually bother the camp hosts, I deal with it like an adult (unless they are really drunk sounding, then it's dangerous).<br />Now that we have the Motorhome I don't notice the noise unless it's a generator. I really like the hard-walls!<br />Glad to hear there's some great people camping around you, except those few. But given the amount of people that have been through the campground that's pretty good!<br />Karyn-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441864113888457036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-1326764617431150442013-07-13T11:14:44.753-04:002013-07-13T11:14:44.753-04:00No!
