What is the name of your state? Michigan
My husband and I purchased some property in the township four years ago, and built a home on it two years ago. The property next door was owned by someone from a neighboring town, and they would come and garden on it in the spring and summer. However, since we build our home, they have turned the vacant property into a campground! There are people living in campers year 'round, and in the summer, they drive them on every weekend, and some stay all summer. Up to 20 campers and motor homes a week! They build bon fires 20 ft tall (right next to our property line) and hoot and holler all night, even bringing in live bands at times. They are drunk and loud all the time, day and night. We called the County, they said its the Townships problem. We called the Township, and they said it belongs to the County, and we should call the police. Well, we have. The neighbors are using a police scanner to monitor complaints! The police cannot catch them "loud". We even asked the sheriff not to use the radio dispatch - they did anyway. Now, we have found out, these neighbors are related to some of the deputies! We can't leave our windows open in nice weather, due to the fires and noise. We are kept awake until 4:00am all weekends, rain or shine, with the noise. We cannot sell our house, because we couldn't get payoff yet. Besides, we built it as our "dream". We have talked to the other neighbors. They don't want to be a part of it, because they are afraid of these people. One older woman leaves her home every weekend - she's so afraid!
What can be done>? County and township don't want ownership!
