I think it is a real shame that you've had this experience, starr, why some people seem to think it ok to inflict their unreasonable levels of noise on others and effectively spoil their stay on a site is beyond me.
It has happened to us once or twice, last year a family on a site we were on was asked to leave by the owners, after being very noisy late at night, after midnight, and then aggressive with people who complained and very politely asked them to keep the noise down. We also spoke to the owners the following morning, and I was impressed with how swiftly it was dealt with, and would consequently go back despite one night being disturbed.
No one wants complete silence on a site, of course, but there is a heck of a difference between chatting and laughing with a bit of basic consideration for other campers, and what you sadly experienced.
It does seem to have become more of a problem in recent years with the huge rise in popularity of camping.
I wish that site owners would make it quite clear on their websites what their policy is regarding noise (and any other rules on their site) and make it clear that they will enforce the rules, and do it!
At least then we could all make an informed choice when selecting a site to stay on, those who want a bit more of a party atmosphere can find sites that cater for that and those who like a bit of peace and quiet in the evenings can be fairly sure that any disturbance is kept to a minimum, but I guess site owners often don't want to limit their clientele so unlikely to happen.
Its a shame that is the case though, because if reviews are left about a site that makes it clear that the owners aren't acting on noise nuisance, word soon gets around and people are put off going to a site, so really it is in the owners interest, both on the site's reputation and of course not continually having to deal with complaints and having to turf people off the site who insist on disturbing other people.
I have been to sites where there are strict rules about playing music and noise after 11pm, and have enjoyed them, and equally have been on sites where there don't seem to be rules stated and yet people are mostly considerate, so hard to know how to choose a good site, other than read reviews on here.
I do believe that the vast majority of campers are considerate decent folk, but there is an increasing number who see it as a drunken noise fest, and ignore the fact that other people really don't want to listen to that.
I think the issue is not so much about the actual noise, after all any site could have this issue from time to time, no matter how clear the rules,but it is how it is dealt with, I think its appalling how the site has ignored your email and your concerns, and will be awaiting the publication of your review so that I can make sure never to go there for that reason alone.
I hope your next trip is a lovely fun and peaceful one!
