Chill out Val, no offence intended. I merely meant I adopt a hippie laid back attitude, don`t remember saying anything about being scruffy.

Know what you mean Ray, I tend to forget make-up, relax in shorts etc round the campsite.  Only trouble is that when we leave the site I have to remember that the rest of the world is still going on!  So, you will often see me in the morning, sitting outside, putting my make-up on.

I always wear pjs with a fleece over the top and take clean clothes and tolietries with me and change in the shower. Make sure you leave things as you would want to find them, which includes making sure the pitch is left tidy when you leave.

Don't let balls etc to be kicked at tents (we've had that happen before) and observe the quiet times.

I've never taken a loo roll before but I might start now just in case !!

Most of all have a great time

I go in my dressing gown and never had anyone stare at me thinking i am mad.  Not much room in the cubicles so i find that is easier....and you are bone dry when you get back to the tent!!

Okay, so who has ever gone to the showers, taken all the shower stuff but forgotten to take a towel?

(first hand goes up, here! )

It takes ages to get dried with a paper towel from the handbasin area, doesn't it!

I wear a large floral dress and a straw hat to the showers. Wife's stopped me wearing her little black strapless number though, she thinks it looks silly with a beer belly and wellies.

tend to wear my pj's and dressing gown to showers and depending on how busy it is in there get dressed in cubicle or tent.

always take toilet roll. we stayed at a campsite last year with the old fashioned toilet paper.the crispy tracing paper stuff.

Yep, same here.

I find a hanging wash bag is a Godsend for when the floors are wet and thewre aren't any shelves.

Just reading & remembered the first time my Mum & Dad came for a day visit. It was early(ish) when they arrived & i was on my way back from the showers with the turban & PJ's on.... My Mum was mortified i could actually go outside the tent not dressed.LOL. I told her it was fine & this was camping rules (lol). Even at about 11am she saw next door neighbour still in her PJ's reading paper & still couldn't get over it.

She still tells her friends now!!! & bought me new PJ's for pressie to go camping in - "if you have to at least they're new!!!"

I've asked her if she wants to come camping but shes yet to take up my offer.

Now that is a skill

I find that when I have to let go I have to let go

However I think that by now the OP will have realised that when you are on a campsite you can do what you like provided that you are not deliberately offending other people.

That's one of the best things about camping
