prevailing time across every designated campground at Comlara Park, West Park and any other McLean County recreational area. The rule requires noise be 'kept to a minimum' during those hours specifically 'to preserve the peace and quiet of any camping area,' meaning campers, day users staying past closing under a camping registration, and neighboring sites are all bound by the same curfew. A companion provision, § 282-3S, backs the quiet period with a general sound-amplification ban: no person may operate a sound amplification device audible beyond its immediate vicinity or in a way that disturbs the quiet of campgrounds, picnic areas or other public gathering places, at any hour, though the Park Director may issue a special event permit exempting an approved event.

cutoff functions as both a closing time for day visitors and a noise curfew for overnight campers. McLean County Department of Parks and Recreation site managers and rangers, along with county law enforcement officers, patrol campgrounds to enforce the curfew. A violation of § 282-4E is punishable under § 282-14C by a fine of up to $500, and repeated noise complaints can support ejection from the campground under the general-order provision in § 282-14B.
