I'm sorry you didn't have a good time and I would hate to go to a site with tents so close. But I don't agree with you getting cross over a child playing. If you don't like small children then avoid sites with a playground!

Child safety at a campsite is a I interesting one. It seems to be the only place where people revert back to a old fashioned sense of parenting. One where kids do get a bit more freedom a chance to make friends and sort out friendship disputes for themselves.
I do not think their behaviour should impact on someone else's holiday but a child singing on a family site would not cause me any concern.

Hi just a comment on the above, having camped with hired tents and with our own tent for many years I would always prefer to use our own tent simply because if I don,t like where we are we can just move on, also when pitching the tent we would not put it anywhere near the hired tents. If I could give some advice it would be to buy your own tent and enjoy camping on your terms because it is a great holiday and a great way to REALY get to know your kids

i never book sites, just turn up and if busy move on, that's why now I use the caravan club sites, I've been on some sites where the tents where pitched with the guy ropes across the front of the van and when asked if they would move, get a blank expression till they are told I would be moving the van early next day, and I would drive over if they don't.

keep on moving

just to add my opinion to this post we have just returned from our hols where we had similar problems. now don't get me wrong I have 2 children of my own who love playing outside and making new friends but what really niggles me is the parents who open their tent in the morning and let their children out to play and then shout them back in at nine at night and hope that they are still in the same field. when all said and done its great for children to revert to the good old days and play outside and make new friends but we also as adults have to be cautious about who else is camping in the field with us we would all like to think that nothing can happen to our children on holiday but in this day and age things do happen just because we are on holiday doesn't mean it wont. please just be aware of where your children are and who they are with.

Children are lovable and fun when they are your own or playing with you own. All other children can be an annoying distraction. Children need to be cared for and controlled.
I certainly don't see why I should avoid sites with a playground. Children should respect others.

'Old fashioned parenting' referred to earlier doesn't work in this day and age. A lot of people are wary of children because you don't know what their families may do, I know I am.
