I have limited experience camping with our teardrop, but what I have found is that most campgrounds (public or government run) do not allow trailers, no matter how small, in sites designated for tents. The trailer must "stay on the pad". As a result, you end up camping alongside the big RVs. We back up the teardrop to the end of the pad and set up the tend behind it as shown here.
Most campgrounds post rules designating "quiet hours" when generators and loud music is prohibited. However, enforcement of these rules varies. Most times, a polite reminder is all that is necessary for violators to comply.
