Last night in our Pathfinder, my wife woke me up because she heard a chirrupping cricket. I spotted it but it darted somewhere before I could deal with it. There was nothing to do but go back to sleep until the chirrupping woke me up again and I could swot it off the window.

In 13 years of camping with my wife we have had our fair share of mice, hedgehogs and assorted creepy crawlies, but this is our freakiest visitor so far. Has anyone had anything wierder to deal with?

Whilst in France one year we lifted the groundsheet to find two enormous toads in residence. Oh and a flattened field mouse.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!

four years ago stayed at Thetford forest CCC site with trailer tent. We were sitting in the awning reading our Jack Russell was dozing in his dog cage, alongside a large bone...............a furry creature came underneath my chair, nipped into the dog cage, struggled out with the bone and vanished.

We were all surprised including the JR, the creature........a ferret!

This was our visitor last night (mallet for scale). The wife now wants me to stop reading out posts from this thread. She's getting freaked out.

When I was camping at Matley campsite in the New Forest, a couple of years ago, I was joined in the sun canopy quite regularly by various ponies.

It was fabulous, I'd be sitting there munching on me pork chop and veg (and smash, obviously...) and one of the nearby grazing ponies would stroll in to, or walk through the sun canopy, without a care in the world! Talk about getting back to nature. They were absolutely fine as long as you didn't interact with them and just left them be.

Other visitors have included other campers dogs and curiously a huge ginger cat, who found it warmer in my awning than in its owners motorhome. It also enjoyed a hobnob, if I remember right.....

Just call me Panda!

These broken wings are gonna leave me here to stand my ground......
