Just sayin....
Agree. It could have just been a favorite site, better view, More level, Even larger, with more shade. I knoe at the beach. People will move a couple sites when the one they want comes open. Have done it my self. May have had nothing to do with the kids.
A few months back they had a guy parked next to us when we got there. The next morning he was gone. Seen his moho parked in the over flow parking. That evening he was parked on the other side of us. I tought thats odd. He walked over and asked us if we wanted his spot for the next two days as it was paid up and he was going home in the morning. Come to find out he was in from alabama doing some work and his time was up in the first lot when we got there so he had to get the other lot because someone had res his first spot. So i looked at the wife and asked two more days. That was very nice of him to do that.

Which they blew day and night while running behind our tents and campers. From 5:30 a.m., they blew those darn whistles. And screamed. And shouted. And chopped wood while the den parents screamed and shouted. I have 3 energetic kids so I know high energy, but they were Off. The.Chain. We went up and spoke to the den parents, who apologized and said they would rein them in. Didn't help much. We complained to the campground owner and he went down and spoke with them sternly. In the end, the adults simply could not control the little hellions, so they broke camp and went home.

My kids are grown now, but were really quiet (for kids) when they camped with us. We never ran into a grumpy adult. I am SO glad I don't have young kids anymore, but I do get a kick out of kids when we are camping. Have had some do stupid things like run through our campsite at night and jump over our BIG sleeping dog. Except for that incident haven't run into anything I couldn't live with. Memorial Day weekend there was a young couple camping in a pop up one site over with us. For 2 night there was no one between us, and we watched the parents ignore the barely walking toddler as she played in the road and wandered into the tree line without them getting out of their chairs. I finally just quit looking that direction so I would quit worrying about the kid.
Every night she would start howling a couple of times in the middle of the night or early in the morning. That didn't bother me, but did make me thankful mine are grown.
I wouldn't mind camping next to a family with 5 rambunctious kids, although I might have moved over a site if there was extra room :-) However, camping next to a cub scout or girl scout campout? No way. That would just be torture.
When camping in campgrounds kids are everywhere and they are frequently really excited to be out and about. It does amuse me. Memorial Day there was a family with 4 young boys and a brand new 5th wheel and pontoon boat. It was 90 degrees and every day the boys would put their swim trunks on and build a fort in the pontoon boat and WAIT for dad to drag them down to the lake. Sometimes they sat in the boat for 2 hours before the parents were ready. I didn't blame them and it was really funny.

I'm single and have no kids that I'm aware of. I've never had kids playing around my RV, and it wouldn't bother me if they did. But, if it bothers you, here's the trick, and it sounds backwards. I stay at KOAs. They have stuff for kids to do besides hanging around at the campsite being BORED.
Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.

I have also put in my ...years raising a mess o kids. Now I kinda enjoy just sitting in the neighboring site sipping my margarita and watching the entertainment!!! If it gets too much fun I just lower the hearing aid , We have had more than one set of parents leave thier kids and site, come "to the dark side" and just join us sitting, watching the kids and drinking margarita's Sometimes we poke the fire and pretend to ignore the kids!!!!

I know you meant no ill will in your comment but I can’t say the same thing about all the scouts…
A friend of mine has 3 boys that all earned eagle scout and it shows in their every day and adult life yet… all 3 have been a asset to the community in many ways…
When I was at the Bulow Plantation CG, there was a very large group of cub scouts… while they did play and run they were respectful and totally silent at night times… they did sing and have story telling time but you couldn’t have better neighbors… in the early morning they walked around the whole section of the CG policing the area outside their own, and when they packed up and left, you would have not known they were there…
I would be honored if this group could camp all around my site any time they wish to…
Very close to my home (haven’t been there in years now) there are two scout camps… one boy scout, the other girl scout… I have never heard of a complaint about either… but they are not in a CG there…
