We were in campsite #4. The group next to us in campsite #5 ran a generator most of the day and all night long. We told them about the time frames to run a generator as posted on the information board at the camp entrance. They didn't care. One of there members has COPD and needed to use a CPAP machine. If they need to run this then they need to camp somewhere with AC electric hook up. We left several days early because we were fed up with all the noise.
I think there needs to be a Ranger stopping by to check the campsite--especially at times when generators should be shut off.
We love this campground. This was the fourth time we camped there. It was also the worst experience we had here.

Nice little campground by the lake. Only 7 spots and a few are a bit tricky to get a camper into. Recommend small to medium campers. Enough trees to separate you, but site 3 was close enough to 4 to hear a conversation. Site 1 is a first come, but also the furthest from the lake.

Neighbors making noise after 10 pm and before 8 am. I had to go over to their site and ask them if they could keep it down, my wife and I were trying to sleep. And their generator was on demand, and was keeping me up also. 2 years in a row now dealing with noisy neighbors. Done with that campground that was really quiet for many camping trips.
