I'm not going all Disneyland with my camping decorations ... and it should be pointed out that camping decorations make no noise and - except for potential battery-powered xmas lights - won't be a visual nuisance either.
People coming to Dorst campground may be looking to get away from newscasts, traffic, and civilization ... but they have no reasonable expectation of getting away from people. There are 200 fairly close-together campsites there.
I daresay, though we will attempt to be respectful of our neighbors, our group of 20 will be far more of a nuisance in general loudness of mirth than anything even possible via fun camp decorations.
In any event, we have five consecutive campsites which span one entire stretch of a Loop, and no one is across from us. If we make our main social center towards the center of our fiefdom, and concentrate our decorations where we ourselves can enjoy them ... we will keep our noise pollution to a minimum and keep our decorations invisible to all but deer and bear.
But don't feel you have to participate in decorating madness. We are out to have fun. And this is fun for some. Your milage may vary.
