Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There are muggles there because it's a muggle campground!. That's why everyone is wearing muggle clothes (such as the old man in the bathrobe), and why, when the death eaters appear a few chapters later, they have muggles to torture!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, the twins, Mr!. Weasley, Cedric Diggory, and Amos Diggory arrive in what looks like a deserted misty moor!. Two tired and grumpy looking wizards are there!. Mr!. Weasley greets one as "Basil", and hands him the Portkey, which is tossed into a large box with other Portkeys!. Basil tells them where their campsite is; the Diggorys are at a different camp site!. The campsite owner, a Muggle named Roberts, mentions that the people renting the spaces seem odd!. As he expounds on this, a harassed-looking wizard pops in and modifies his memory!. Roberts dreamily gives Mr!. Weasley his change and a map of the campsite!. The wizard comments that Mr!. Roberts needs to be charmed ten times a day, and that Ludo Bagman is not helping by bouncing around and talking about Bludgers and Quaffles!.

The Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione head for their campsite!. On the way, Ginny says that if Bagman is head of Magical Games and Sports, he should certainly know better than to talk about magical things near Muggles!. Mr!. Weasley agrees, and says Bagman has always been rather lax about security!. It seems to be a common failing, though, as on their way through the campground, they pass numerous tents far more spectacular than anything sold in Muggle stores!. Mr!. Weasley remarks that when large group of wizards are together, they cannot resist showing off a little!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes they can!. The witches hide themselves when muggles come!. And the head of magical games and the muggle control officers can wipe the memories of the muggles!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

there are muggles present because it is a muggle campsite!.
however the stadium is enchanted so that muggles don't by chance wander in there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The grounds are charmed so most muggles won't be aware of them but the caretaker of the campground & his family are there,(I think they live there) that's who Ginny was refering to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

there is only one muggle family there!. The family collecting the money!. The rest of the muggles are kept away with the muggle repelent charmsWww@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think muggles were aloud in, but maybe he was talking about the Roberts family!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes- the deatheaters were tormenting some of them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
