Trying to teach obnoxious people not to be obnoxious is like teaching a pig to sing. You will not be successful and it makes the pig mad.

Ok people, listen up. Next time you bring out your buzz box set it up on your side of the campsite. Your generator, your noise, your problem. Bring it around to the backside of the trailer gets rid of your problem by making it someone else's problem. Can you say extension cord.

A couple of times I've been tempted to say "chop-chop" when they've placed the generator on my side of shrubs etc.

This was on the north side of the Trans Canada, and the train is on the south so that was not a bother either. Enjoyed a wonderful nights sleep.
That could be handy for us next week. We'll be doing another Banff-Jasper circuit next week. Yah, I know, we were just up there 3 months ago but it was busy and in the Fall we'll be able to see some things we couldn't earlier. We're stopping at the Revelstoke Pipe Coaster and they allow one night free RV parking so the other site will work well when combined with the second night at the pipe coaster.

Freecampsites does have quite an array of offerings. Not all are usable for us but it's been very helpful some times.

I am sure you will see it shown, but right after you pass Canyon there is a bridge over creek gorge. You turn left (north) immediately after it on a dirt trail. I guess there are a few dispersed spots in there, but we found a large flat clearing and said good enough. Another couple cars pulled in after us, one carried on down the trail a bit, and the other stopped near us. While Walmart works great in many cases, this place provided for a much more pleasant sleep. We will likely use it again in the future.

This is a shot of the road in, narrow but soft branches.
