Should a festival campsite be quiet

So I was recently at a festival where lots of people enjoy staying up late drinking and chatting with music blaring. Their routine seemed to be staying up till 5am then sleeping all morning.
So do you think this is ok or is it antisocial? As a dm with young children it was not ideal for my family but I understand others have a different routine.
People did complain and were told by organisers there shouldn’t be noise after 2am but that doesn’t help when your 6 year old is cranky after a few hours sleep.

If it’s a folk festival with children’s programming I would feed back to the organisers that they should have a family camping area.

Thats exactly what I’d expect from a festival
campsite! Next time, choose a festival that has family camping or quiet camping.

The time to stop going to festivals is when you stop making the all night noise and start complaining about the noise.

I've never known festival camping be quiet unless it's the family field, and even then it's could never be described as peaceful. If there is one thing I do not go to festivals for, it's is sleep, at any time of the day or night, and it's a given that you're going to be very disturbed and need a family pack of ear plugs.
