How to get evicted from a Provincial Park.

Saturday we came back to camp to find a very LOUD group of people were ensconced nearby. Our site was at the bottom of a U in the road, they were across from us and up the left hand arm, and our next neighbours to our left had had enough - young kids and all.
 
But it was 6 and apparently they'd been warned to keep it down. Teenagers, drunk already, it didn't look like it would end well. The camp attendant would come by, things would quieten down and then an explosion of whoops and hollers and screams. 
 
About 8:30 there was an explosion and out from the bushes comes one guy in his underwear being chased bearfooted up the road. Our neighbour went over to ask them to be quiet. They, about 6 or 7 of them tell him to commit a physically impossible act. So up came the camp attendant again. Quiet.
 
We shrugged, sat at the campfire and had a quiet evening until at about 10 it exploded again. We made ready for bed when a truck parked just outside our site. A conservation officer emerged and ccame over to ask about the noise. He was 5'10" if that, slight and he didn't have any weaponry. "Good Luck" I thought to myself as he went over to confront the barbarian horde.
 
Silence. Dead silence, not even a peep. 10 minutes later he came back. 
 
"They're in their tents, the fire is out and the open liquor has been emptied. They're evicted."
"Evicted? You can't have them drive... they're drunk."
"Oh, they won't be driving anywhere. You won't have any trouble. Have a good night."
 
So I toddled off to loo and when I returned there's a procession of RCMP cars carrying away some very distraught looking teenagers. 
 
In the morning the officer returned and supervised as a very sullen looking young woman dismantles the campsite. He moseys on over. "Lesson 1: If you're going to be stupid, don't do it in public".
 
Still not sure how he was able to corral the horde without a peep of protest. Might want to bottle that.

We saw an eviction last summer at a Provincial site. Wasn't as nice as quiet as the ones you guys related. Interestingly in my case it was adults - some seniors and their adult children. They were drunk and agressive in the middle of the day.
 
State/Provincial parks and teens/alcohol/loud music don't mix. If young people want to party they need to camp in an abandoned gravel pit somewhere in the toolies.

I unfortunately have not found that the case since BC privatized delivery of the Prov. Park service.

Generally pretty much the same in State Parks too.
