One thing I have found at Pelican is that the worst campsites are the best campsites.
I camp up away from the water when I go there, you can barely tell that you are at a campsite some are so overgrown. Those are the best ones.
My buddy would not listen to me and decided that the waterfront campsite was best. He set up there and got eaten alive by the bugs. We, on the other hand being a couple of hundred feet away from the water had almost no bugs.
The other annoying thing is the motorhome and big trailer campers and their generators. They sit all night watching their tv's then simply go to bed leaving their genset to run out of gas rather than going out and turning it off. 12pm, not a light on in the trailer and the genset sits there screaming all night. Fine if your in the trailer, loud and smelly if your in a tent.
One year, someone went along at about 1am and flipped every generator over, upside down. I don't know how it happened, maybe the cows are into generator tipping.
