You don't need a quiet generator for your situation, because you will not have neighbors complaining about the noise. It is up to you if you can tolerate the noise of your own generator. Cheap contractor generators tend to be rather loud. Quiet generators are expensive.
Cheap contractor generators are not famous for producing clean sine wave power. It is typically more of a square wave. For running sensitive electronics, like television and dvd player, you might need cleaner power.

My wife and i just spent 8 night at Twin Lakes, Mammoth, CA in our 2027SL, we used out Yamaha 2400i generator to power the micro, coffee, recharge the batts, and TV. Elevation was 8500ft and the Yam2400 would not run the AC without an overload. Darn thing weighs at about 75lb. Thinking of purchasing two Honda 2000i gens and parallel together for the hot days.
Also no hookups, waste was collected in Baker 32gal tote and dumped on final day for $10 per dump.
