we haven't seen anything like that, but I have noticed that more and more folk are now playing guitars on site and some even singing, why?
Because they are happy?
I've been singing and playing my guitar for many years!

Im a christian - and I laughed out loud when I saw that they'd been singing Kum-by-yah! How corny is that??? They need to get with the times lol.
I'm disappointed to hear that someone called one of the posters here "a sinner". Sadly there are some sanctimonious christians out there....

Camping on the Gower, I was slightly horrified to see the people at the neighbouring pitch get out 2 acoustic guitars one night.
Part of my horror was because the then Mr Fran fancied himself as a bit of a strummer and insisted on bringing his infernal guitar on every camping trip. I had visions of a drunken Mr F showing off his (lack of) musical skills to a most unimpressed audience.
Out neighbours started playing quietly at about 9.30 pm. Mr Fran quickly decided that they were way out of his league and his diabolical instrument stayed shut in its case.
I toddled off to bed about 10, and drifted off to the sound of some of the best guitar playing I've ever heard. At 11 on the dot, they packed up.
For three consecutive nights, we had the pleasure of listening to this lovely playing. I was gutted when they left, not least because the ex then started his own tortuous finger-picking of an evening.
I'd have broken the damn guitar if it hadn't been worth over £1k. Even I balked at doing something that bad to get a bit of peace.

Nothing like having someone play an instrument in the background when your sat round a fire on a beach/campsite somewhere....
All done at a reasonable level...And quitting at a reasonable hour too.......

I'm a Christian too, and I go to church and sing in the church choir and have brought my kids up attending church, but I'm not one of those shove it down yer throat ones and that lot that I came across didn't have a particularly Christian attitude.
I can't stand 'holy joes' as I call them and I think the ones that profess to be all this and that seem to be the ones caught out with their trousers round their ankles or their fingers in the till.

when we were on Skye this summer there was a woman who sat and played her celtic harp every evening outside her motorhome. It was just lovely.
I didn't ask her about her religious affiliation, if any.

It takes all kinds to make a world. Unless your campsite neighbours are actually being disruptive or noisy late at night or breaking the campsite rules then they should be able to do what they like. Live and let live.
