Buy yourself a supply of nose clips swimmers use,

i once sent for some snorer's nose clips on ebay but they didn't turn up. It was the only time i have ever had that happen. I think perhaps they thought the snorers would be too embarrased to complain!

Hi
Buy yourself a supply of nose clips swimmers use, and when you find out which one snores give the other a clip to pop on the snorers nose. well it might be a solution if you don't like ear plugs.

As a very loud snorer...what am I supposed to do? stop camping for fear of disturbing someone? its not like I do it to annoy people.

All I can say is, if your unlucky enough to get a pitch beside me....tough luck.

My OH is also a very loud snorer, but sending the kids to play around our tent at 6am wouldn't work, as he's up and in the shower by 5:30am anyway .

He doesn't always snore, and he does sometimes use those nose strips, but like BigGraeme, we're not going to stop camping because of his snoring. That's like saying people with babies shouldn't camp in case their kids wake up screaming for a feed in the middle of the night.

We all have to put up with some form of noise from our neighbours on a campsite, it's just one of those things.

My hubby snores terribly and I do feel for our neighbours but then you must expect to hear other people's snoring, farting, coughing, babies crying etc. when you are in a field with only fabric separating you.

The only noise that annoys me is selfish excessive noise late at night or early in the morning that can be helped.

Campers have to expect that they will hear the noise of others and if it keeps you awake then you must have ear plugs at the ready.

Remind me to make sure the kids play around your tent at 6 am if we ever end up in a tent next to yours

I wouldnt do that....they might get inhaled...!!!   

 Sorry to anyone on Tower Park, St Buryan in August,

I'm a terrible snorer, apparently!

I think the German family next to us must have taped me snoring one night. Either that, or the sound loop they were playing out of their motorhome window towards our tent, was some form of weird Bavarian ear trumpet, prog-folk music.

Kept them amused for an hour or two though.

Tents really carry the noise don't they - when we were away at the weekend there was a guy whose tent was at least 20ft away snoring like a wilderbeast didn't wake me but I did have a chuckle when I realised what it was. 

If I heard him snoring from that distance imagine the nuisance my husband caused by breaking wind constantly all morning after devouring a cheeseboard in the pub the night before - certainly annoyed me! 

I always find it quite amazing when I read posts about noise on here. You go to your chosen site and pitch a tent and then moan about people making noise... I can understand when its people being selfish and inconsiderate, but most of the time its someones kids, or someone snoring or having a quiet chat at 11.00pm....lighten up for petes sake, what do you do when its windy or seaguls or crows are roosting or theres any one of 100 noises that no one can do anything about...? you have to live with it...your on holiday, if you dont get your full 8hours dont fret...take an afternoon nap and dont spend the day cursing and worrying about your sleep being disturbed again. I cant help feeling if you cant stand it, buy a caravan or stay at home...thats what I would do....

OK flame away!!!
