So after this post and returning from Wild Rose, we encountered grown men kicking footballs into the tent, kids being loud at night, a very very busy site, felt crammed in and cricket being played near car.

I am all for kids being kids and thats what I love about it, but sometimes no matter where you are your neighbours get on your nerves!

I think my next camp trip will be somewhere where there is a bit of space.

It's not just kids, bikes, and footballs. I have just returned from two days on a very nice and quiet site but during that time I witnessed one caravanner who allowed his very boisterous alsation to 'escape' off lead and run riot with the two quiet and tethered dogs on an adjoining pitch. Then a group set up next to me and tethered their dog on a lead long enough for it to reach and cock it's leg on my guy ropes...fortunately missing the tent! After setting up they did move the tethered position otherwise I would have had to say something to them...and it probably wouldn't have been too polite!! 

I don't think common sense and attention to the finer details of life exists any more. Some people seem to go through life totally disorganised and oblivious to anything that isn't an immediate problem to them, even if it's potentially a problem to someone else.

"I'm alright Jack" springs to mind.

A lot of people just don't care about their effect on others, it happens on the road, in queues, in shops, on camp sites, everywhere nowadays.

As I sit here from my comfy sofa at home, I see a group of youngsters hanging around outside my house, shouting swearing and idly pulling leaves and flowers off my plant. Only one lives in this road!

If I was feeling better I'd do something about it...I'm sure the same annoying things happen on sites as at home but it's just we don't see much of it.

During our last trip, apart from the staring kids and the rowdy group who seemed to think they were at a festival (even left leaving all their camping gear and tents in situ) the worst thing was returning back to our tent after a pleasant day out to find a nice big dog dollop in front of our tent complete with a zillion flies circulating it!

If you see a family struggling to put up the tent then it must be us!

I suspect none of them played in rivers and bushes and congregated with new found friends when they were younger. I suspect they played out without making any noise whatsoever....

Yes we played outside, we ddi make a noise - BUT we did not destroy property.  If a neighnour asked us to be quiet, we did.  We would most certainly not have answered back.
If a grown up had to tell us off, we accepted it and dreaded the fact that they might tell our parents.

I'll add.... Don't put bright lights outside of your tent.  Ruins the glorious country darkness.

And though I won't get far with this one...12v airbed pumps/compressors are very loud.  Don't do it. Please.

Here's mine.

Caravanners who think no-one can hear their telly at 11.30pm .

Adults who sit till the early hours outside their tents or vans and the more they have to drink the louder they get.

Parents who shout and swear at their kids in their tents at 7am

People who completely ignore the dogs must be tethered rule because they say "their dog is harmless". Yeah but it will still indiscriminately sh*t and Pee all over the site.

People who drive to the toilet block

Kids playing doesnt bother me in the slightest. I was a kid myself once and usually join in playing with them (Except football because im rubbish at that).

In all seriousness though its about respect more than anything else, Its also about thinking before steaming in and complaining. Sometimes its nice to explain why you are not happy in a nice way - it usually has a better effect than just going in and starting shouting and moaning. Its one way to rile your fellow camper. Unless you're pitched next to complete morons in which case disregard my last comments and use evasive action.

Im sorry but you really need to go wild camping if you want to avoid that. You will NEVER avoid that in any site ever.

Another one for music, just had a really stressful year with my next door neighbour partying very inconsiderately - at the moment she is on a 6month tenancy behaviour order - we were camping last month and the tent to the right of us started blasting music then not to be outdone the tent to the left of us started with theirs it was like being at home you couldnt work out what the songs were cos tey just blended into a noise  we went off site and had a really lovely walk along the top of Filey Brigg, luckily by the time we got back to the tent the noise was off  I am not against music I just think its a very personal choice and I dont think people would want to listen to my music so dont play any while camping
