Horrible Campsite!

[SweetSassyLady]

We went down to get a camp site at our local state park and we set up. Well, we had been there about an hour and we found why it was the only camp site available. Turns out we were directly under the local air ambulance's flight path. So we left. Now we're back home and are going farther tomorrow after I find out if there is a campsite at another state park. I am upset we didn't find out about the noise before we camped.

I am so sorry! I know how disappointing that must be for the whole family. I hope you find a better spot tomorrow where you can enjoy the weekend!

I like the sound of a helicopter. I would have stayed!

The only good part of that is that they would be quick to assist you should anything go wrong. When I am sleeping I like silence so I totally understand why you left.

Funny outwest! I would have left too and went elsewhere. That sucks that it was going to be so loud. How did the kids react when you left? Did you find another campsite?

Hope you find a better spot I imagine that would be annoying.

They should list it as a "hearing impaired" site.....

Beautiful sound if it's for an extraction. Beam me up, Scotty!

Wow, how often did it fly over? My house is in the flight path for our hospital (less than a mile away) and I would be supprized if I notice it even once a day.

I usually camp out in the wild so campsites don't matter for me. I would rather get away from the people as well as the other traces of civilization. It's just my preference.
