Easter at Arapiles 3-Apr-2013 At 11:43:29 AM technogeekery

We've had the same sort of experience the last two times we've been camping. At Glenbrook in the Blue Mountains we had a group camp next to us, break out the ghetto blaster, and start cranking out the music. When it switched to rap (really filthy rap) I fronted them and asked them to switch it off as I had kids with me - and they had the grace to change the music, if not turn it off. At Glenbrook there is a ranger, who made them turn it off at 10pm, but much of the night was spoiled by their music.

And this Easter at the Wolgan, there were huge groups of people getting slaughtered on alcohol and shouting and carrying on until 2-4am most nights - no rangers there, and I wasn't up for tackling them.

I don't think its just that I'm getting old, I've never enjoyed loud music in the bush, and would feel mortified if I was affecting someone else's peace & quiet while camping. Not sure that there is much you can do about it, except avoid the more popular campsites at public holidays, and go real bush.
