Not withstanding the fact that there are many inconsiderate campers out there, and lots with generators, what gives anyone the belief that generators should be a no go out there.
They are mostly less annoying than those who overindulge with their happy hour sessions, the loud music, barking dogs, those wandering around the camp aimlessly oblivious to all whilst having loud and long conversations on their mobile phone, the noisy kids who always want to play near your campsite, not theirs, the bloke who finds it necessary to tune his vehicle, and the list goes on and on.
The risk you take is having inconsiderate campers near you, but then again there may something about your mob that gets up their nose, maybe the smell from your BBQ or camp oven.
The better
solution is to pick your campsite carefully. I often find many campers don't like to camp isolated, but rather with the comfort of others nearby, and then you
run the risk of having neighbours from hell. It's a bit like fishing on deserted beach. Others
spot you, and before long you have all these pesky neighbours all around you LOL.
Like MH and many others here, I like to camp by myself out of sight if possible, but I always carry a generator, don't necessarily
run it at every camp, but should anyone decide that they need to camp nearby, I make it a point of telling them before they get set up, that I may
run a generator at some point.
That old saying, "Unlike your relatives, you can select your neighbours" doesn't necessarily apply out there at bush camps.
This has been a hot topic many times before on here.
