Hi all, need help with aibu

Currently camping in the lakes with my family, I have 2 young kids 4 and 1.

It's 10.20pm and we have a group having a rave party, another in comp with their music against them and omg if u all knew what matt had done because fuck me all I keep hearing is about this matt and we are not right next to the pitch

My 1 year old is a bad sleeper anyway but is worse tonight and my 4 year old who will sleep through anything is struggling due to the noise.

My aibu is should I complain so the owner tell them to lower it or am I a over tired mum making something out of nothing.

I'm tempted to just pack up and leave but know my 4 year old would be devastated.

I would complain to the site owner/manager and look for another site in the area if you were due to stay longer?

Where in the country are you? Perhaps people could suggest good sites to move to?

Sorry- seen it is the lakes, will pm you a couple of suggestions x

Is there a curfew on noise? If so can you contact the owner and ask them to have a word?

Can't afford the change sites plus most probably booked due to BH weekend. I know one of the problem groups where kicked off and banned last year but have ended up back on (talking to the owners husband earlier) office is shut to complain but definitely will be down there tomorrow morning to say something. TnC say 11pm for music but nobody policing this so they are carrying in.

Tempted to let my 1 year old when he wakes up at 6 am to make as much noise as he wants as he can be loud in the morning (my plan was to take him off site till about 8isb for a walk and leave other ds to sleep and my dad keep an eye o him).

Currently learning how someone has 8 light switches for one room fml

I hate when assholes ruin camping for others by being inconsiderate with noise. I camp with a group of women and we are away at a nature reserve a few months ago, all great until the last night when a group of four arrived, they didn't start the music until midnight when they played it as loud as they could, by 4am they were playing football and then hide and seek, the noise was unbelievable for just four people, they eventually went to bed at 7, well we were up at 8 and my car had the best sound system so we opened all the doors and played country music at top volume (there was no other campers, just us and them), the other women played various types of music from their cars too and we were all parked very close to where they camped (which was also weird, its a huge reserve and they could have camped anywhere but set up within a few metres of us). They didn't stay in bed long and were shooting looks at us as we cooked breakfast. We didn't contact the owner during the night because he's an older gentleman who we knew had gone through the rules with them and they ignored him so it seemed pointless,spoke to him afterwards and he apologised and took note to not let them rebook. Speak up to the owners tomorrow and ask who will be onsite to enforce the rules for the rest of the weekend, insist on a contact number and use it if the noise continues tomorrow night.

Sorry you had a bad experience aswell. We live camping and go every year as a large group but are very considerate of people around us. However 1 year old will be up at 6 am and will be wanting to play. I may also have to listen to some music as well but my taste happens to be heavy metal when I'm tired and in a mood which I'm sure they will hate. And 100%complaining in the morning iv also sent a fb message to them aswell. If I didnt have my youngest I would of just put headphones in with a show on to block it out as oldest will just nudge me to wake me up. Going to give it one more night with my complaint if no better it will be a early morning trip home and putting the tent up in the garden so oldest doesn't feel like he is missing out to much
