Decent camping spot

We stayed on the tent campsite near the swimming lake, site 007. The area is nice, beautiful morning views from the swimming lake and great hiking/canoeing paths with fearful encounters with gators, at one instance 5 gators in the creek just feet away while canoeing, we even hit one thinking it was a log. Now the bad... There is a train track visible across the lake, this train WILL wake you up and it passes several times a day making that obnoxious "I'm coming through" sound from the horn. There is also a main road/highway (27) that can be heard as well. I'm okay with all that (ear plugs), the main issue I had was with the neighbor campers, literally like 60 people with the loudest dj setup made for a big crowd party and lots of alcohol. These guys had lights that would light up a football field at night, couldn't sleep and couldn't even enjoy the night sky due to the lights. The problem is that the campsite is made for 10 people max, or so I thought. No, nobody there abide by the rules and there is no camp edicate. The "neighbors" would walk through my campsite and trip on my tent lines just to pee in the bushes next to my campsite because they didn't want to walk to the bathroom. The bathrooms at the primitive campsite are outhouses with no running water by the way. If you want to take a shower or wash your hands, you will have to walk (long walk) or drive to the main bathroom. I had to take a shower with a roach lurking in the corner, not upkept whatsoever. Because of the rule breaking, I had to give this review 3 stars, it would have been 4 (1 star knock off because of the bathrooms)
