Great Night Terrible Morning

I'm from out of town and was unaware of the campsites lay out and relied on the information given by the forest preserve. Nothing was mentioned about this site being a flood zone. Our night went from on and off light rain to three hours of down pour rain. With that said our site was flooded once we woke up. We had three inches up the the fire pit. By the time we packed up it reached the side walk. A good three inches of water everywhere. The office isn't opened on the weekend to get approved to move to another campsite to unfortunately my two nights turned into one. We were rudely woken up by the Woodpecker Association at 7am. They walked onto our campsite and started to touch our belongings. The group of four of them stayed at our site and placed their bags on the ground next to my tent. They would not move away until all three of us said something to them. They relocated behind our other tent which was still way too close for comfort. I'm  very disappointed in this campsite. I didn't expect to feel so unsafe.
