We really appreciated the host allowing us to celebrate the Fourth of July and safely set off our fireworks. Since this property only has two campsites, I reached out beforehand because the other site was already booked. The host reassured us that the other campers were good people and that we shouldn’t have any issues. We were very grateful since we had spent a lot of money on fireworks, drove about an hour to get there, and rented the site specifically for the evening.
Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by the campers at the neighboring site. Early in the evening, we could hear a woman screaming at the man she was with, including yelling about him wanting to go to another city to get high on drugs. We tried to ignore it, but the situation only escalated. They continued screaming at each other for hours, accusing one another of stealing money. At one point, the woman threw the man’s clothes and other belongings out of the tent and into the dirt while continuing to yell.
Because there are only two campsites, there was no way to get away from the disturbance. Later that night, the man ended up sleeping alone on the dock by the lake, which made the situation feel even more uncomfortable. We were thankful we had only rented the site for a few hours and hadn’t planned to camp overnight, because we would not have felt comfortable staying. This is not a reflection of the host, who was kind and accommodating.
