We went camping with some friends a few summers ago, my early rising the 4 yr old slept til 9am every day...however their 4 yr old was up at 6am...so they sat in the car and watched DvDs with him unrul 8ish ( well Dad slept and son watched DvD).

Last summer, on a site we went to, there were a family with three kids all tiny, who were up at 05:30 and the parents let the outside to play......this I think is unacceptable.

Child noise on a campsite is inevitable, I feel

LOL.....mine do sleep in and I am lucky, but I have camped with many friends who`s don`t.

I personally have no hard feelings towards anyone who is making the effort to control their kids ( mine are very noisy when awake)......I just objected to this couple who let theirs ( two in nappies,) outside unsupervised at the crack of dawn....the site manager had a word in the end. The lady next door to us was so worried she sat up and watched over them....bless her

Mum was up with them the next morning, they were still noisy, but they went home that day anyway.

We have a nappy bin / bucket with a lid which my OH half is dead against (cos he thinks it's gross even though it's only wee and that I'll knock it over in the middle of the night. In all fairness, I might!) which I use if I can't bear to wait but I'm still paranoid about unzipping the inner tent and waking up the kids.

What are the views on kids that wake up stupid early on campsites? (5am - 6am ish?)

It does, also when you do use the bucket, you imagine the whole campsite listening to you doing a pee!
