Blocking out that Campground Noise!

Have you recently been to a great campground, and had a fantastic time during the daylight hours? The view from your site is great, the bathrooms are spotless, and your children are having a blast with the activities. Everything seems to be just great, until you try sleeping. Either you have noisy neighbors, the highway is too loud or maybe the birds got you up at 5am.
We recently found a little trick that helps drown out any noise from outside. Try turning on an electric fan. One of the small plastic cheap ones from Wal-mart or Target would do nicely. We picked up a two-pack at Target for $13.
If the fan "vibrates" on the floor or table, try adding a towel under it. It cushions any vibration that the fan will make. On colder nights, try facing the fan away from you so you won't get too chilly. On warmer nights, it adds a nice breeze to keep you cool. We found it adds a nice lull of "white noise" to the room for easier sleeping. It has worked for us for noisy neighbors and loud A.M. birds. We haven't yet tried this suggestion for noise from the highway or trains, but we are ready to test it out!
One of our site visitors (Thanks Lee) also suggested a "sound machine" - which might be very effective as well. If your trailer is already equipped with a stereo, purchase several "Nature Sounds" Cd's. The peaceful sound of birds in a rainforest or crashing ocean waves might do just the trick for blocking out the noise outside your tent or trailer.
We hope your nights are peaceful and quiet! Sweet Dreams!
