If you were camping with a group of people and you had not camped in the patrons campgrounds in many moons, would it not be the proper thing to do is find you group's campsite before you are drunk and it is 1 AM.
I am looking for other opinions before i go off on said silly nilly.....
So the story goes that we had a member of our group come up to faire after noon on Saturday, then forget to bring the map we had drawn them with detailed directions of where we had set up camp, and then party all day without us till after our camp had all gone to bed for the night.  They didn't start calling till after midnight to find where we were, this is after we had given said directions again when we ran into them at the Sea Devil. :'(
With all that said would you be a little irate and feel like someone was trying to make you their handmade or just outright rude?

Thanks to anyone that chimes in, i have been camping up there for many moons now and this is the first time we have ever had it happen.  Have lost group members before that were new to camping, but never this poop! :P

Best suggestion is that your group place a large and obvious banner in your area.

Oh yeh, if in the row 0-11 area, hang a group flag on the poles provided.

Other than that, maybe staple directions to their foreheads.

Get one of those invisible dog fence things.  Attach the shock collar to individual and tell them to keep wandering around camp until they feel a little jolt.

I agree it was rude. Take care of business (setting up) and them partying. Only time that might not be is if you come in the middle of the night. Some will still set up others the next morn.
Don't forget to smell the roses, but watch out for the thorns!
