If the campsite advertises a time for when the noise should be lowered or stopped then they should enforce the rules. If they are not going to do so then they shouldn't have a time stated. This way those that want to stay up late into the night socialising can do and those that want some quiet will not be disturbed as they will have avoided the nosier sites.

Yet we've been to Shell Island many, many times, always in the school holidays and usually bank holidays and never had much of a problem with noise. Usually all quiet by 11ish and asleep by 12. It all depends on where you pitch and who is nearby and whether you're prepared to tell them to shut up if they are disturbing you or report them to the wardens (but this goes for all sites not just Shell Island).

I agree 100%

It really annoys me that sites advertise themselves as 'quiet family sites,' have rules regarding curfew times, and wax lyrical about the joys of the peaceful countryside and yet are not prepared to do anything about rowdy behaviour. Surely if you own/manage a campsite you must be well aware that one of the less attractive things you have to do is ask people to be respectful and be quiet. I know they cannot guarentee that all fellow campers are sensible and quiet, but they can enforce their own rules. It is these rules that we look at when making a decision about which site to choose.
If owners/managers are not able to do this, then I would suggest a change of career.

There is only one thing to do and that is complain, either in person or by e-mail. Then when reviewing a site, I think it is reasonable to say in the review that the owners/managers were useless, or prepared to do something about exessive noise.

This is why it's important to be able to post negative comments so people can then make a judgement to stay or not. Not all reviews get published...

Yes, there would be no need to be rude or offensive, just the facts.
If I read that someone had problems on a site with noisy campers, and the owners were straight on the case sorting it out, then that site would go to the top of my list.
If the review said that even though the owners knew there was a problem with noise they did nothing, then I would know that site was not for me.
However information like that might appeal to some people. If you want a site where there isn't a cut off time, where there is a relaxed approach to late night revels then you could make the right choice of site.
I think reviews need to be negative as well as positive, they all help campers make informed choices.
