We've camped for some years - tent, pop-up and TT (you see the pattern emerging here :-) - and we must have been very lucky, because we have never had any "bad" neighbours. The biggest noise problem we ever experienced was the CG folks winding up the leaf blowers during breakfast :-)
It may be a function of the kind of CG.. if all the pitches are close together, with no screening, then the potential for friction is greater, and if you camp at a "family-friendly" location, then you have to expect excitable kids.
We mostly camp in state parks or private CGs, with more room to spread out,,, and the one time we had occasion to speak to anyone about encroaching on "our" space, turned out to be hugely embarrassing... it was the campground owner, checking on a wasp nest that somebody had pointed out to him. Awkward moment, but he forgave us ...
There have been a couple of instances where the neighbours just didn't speak... but perhaps they were there for the peace and quiet.
We've also seen a number of examples where campers have rallied round to offer assistance - for example, a tree fell on somebody's truck in the middle of the night, and quite a crowd turned out to assist.
I've got to say, I find it unsettling that the responses have turned to "displaying weapons" and "calling Border Patrol" (as a resident alien myself, I'm sensitive about that one), but I think that's more a reflection of the way this whole society is going, sadly.
