The DNR and the host have been courteous, but the people camping near us have drunk too much and seem to think it’s acceptable to fight, slam camper doors, and act immaturely throughout the day—worse at night. We have three kids trying to sleep, and to make matters worse, this morning we found out our kids walked out of the camper to go fishing with their dad and ended up seeing these so-called 'adults' having a ridiculous 'play war,' including some inappropriate behavior and a woman only in a thong.

I've chosen Pinicon Ridge for more than a decade now and it'll always be my 1st...
