I love music. Specifically, I love ear-splittingly loud music. That's why I own very good quality headphones.
When camping I think it's perfectly reasonable to accept that normal waking hours might have to adjust. I'm very rarely awake after ten pm on a British campsite because it's usually not warm enough to stay outside the tent and the light in the tent isn't that great.
Babyfish, the happy medium, to my mind, is to observe what the rules are (which the OP repeatedly ignored) and in the absence of strict rules never to be the loudest group on the site.
We stay on C&CC sites and I thought we were really quiet before I read this! I will honestly be frightened to make a noise now. We always walk around our tent and find out what can be heard re music and talking and stuff so we don't disturb people but reading this it seems unless we sit in silence we will be upsetting everyone! When we stayed at Park Resorts it was awful because there were no rules at all though. How do I find a happy medium, lol?!
The fact that you consider how much n.oise you may be making & have a walk round to check you aren't disturbing anyone shows you respect your neighbours and clearly aren't causing any nuisance so just carry on with what you're doing.
I have never been to Shamba but I have been to a nearby campsite and I am surprised the wardens or anyone else could hear anything above the drone of the A31. I booked two nights on a site nearby and only lasted one night...couldn't stand the noise
On a site in Scotland recently when a van close to us had a noisy party, about 10pm they called along to appologise for the noise.
I told them the music was actually quite good and not so loud, the only thing they should feel bad about was that we wer'nt invited and that was that--
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
