Music and camping

[Robinhood4x4]

The camp site for the purposes of this poll, is an established camp ground up in the mountains with other people (strangers) camping nearby. So you're not by yourself and you're not at the dunes with a bunch of motorcycles.

I voted "yes" but really quiet music and only sometimes, like if someone has one of those portable ipod speaker things and we're playing cards at the table or something.

Most the time there is no music and definately not loud enough to really hear outside of my camp area.

Just enough to mellow out with.

quiet and mellow in this instance.
My usual camp spot is a non-established campground in the mountains with no one else ANYWHERE around, in which case, we play blues... and LOUD. :)

Tab Benoit mostly - especially the Nice and Warm album.

i voted no b/c some people's idea of "not loud" is really obnoxious. but as long as your neighbors can't hear it, im ok with it.

I voted yes but it's got to be quiet. For some reason it's hard for me to go a day without music. Ever since my first ipod I just need to have it. I listen to my ipod everyday. M-F it's communting and on the weekends it's driving and riding. I don't like hearing other people's music while camping so I purposely don't bring anything to play. We use the 4runner with the tailgate open but again it's soft.

I listen to everything and it's all mashed into a couple of playlists. I think for the most part folks don't like my randomness so I keep it to myself.

Yes if it's remote enough. And if it's in a camp ground, I'll usually play some music/movie when I'm eating/falling asleep in my camper. Just plug the laptop in and kick back!

[Crinale]

i voted yes, i just like having background music while i do things... last time camping we killed the battery in the CR-V, and had to jump it with the 4runner cuz i wasnt paying attention to the time it had been going...

[YotaFun]

I voted no.
I rarely get a quiet time to chill.
So after a long drive or a day of wheeling I like to just relax listen to the fire crackle and the sounds of the wild life around me.

If I can't fall asleep I will play my ipod with my head set but thats usually rare.

I bring a radio with me, usually just listen to it all quiet and mellow. If im truly alone ill crank the music in my truck if im car camping.

[wifesaysimadumbass]

the key word is quiet ......!!!!i wont disturb someone else and my kids will tell you i'm a nazi about this!! at least until everyone else is awake then it's on... quiet music is ok but im sure everyone here has nightmare stories of camping trips with yahoo's

So we went camping this past weekend and the people on both sides of us were playing music loud enough that we could hear it. This particular campground had us packed right next to each other so it's understandable. For some reason, music while camping annoys me, but hey, it's a free country and I'll deal with it. At least it was good music.

On a side note, one guy snored so loud we had to close up the 4runner windows on that side just to be able to sleep.

Last weekend at our camping area (established sites but no amenities in the direct area) we were a not packed in close together. 25 to 100yds apart. One group was quiet aside from the father swearing at the kids a number of times during the day. My main complaint was a group of 4 rigs that showed up at nearly 10pm and immediately starting playing music from their trucks. The music was still on at 1:30am and even 4:30am. Thankfully they left the next morning by 9:30am and were even good about taking out their trash.
