While views are undoubtedly important to us, there no way we'd ever do that. A pox upon those who do! Ridiculous behaviour!

This happened to us in 2010 while we were sitting in front of our tiny tent. They were about 5 feet in front of us by the time they finished. If you click the links in the comments you'll get a better idea of all the space there was behind us and just how tiny our tent was.

Pitched our tent last week and spent the next 2 days putting the last occupants cigarette butts in our rubbish sack.

We had a guy walking a dog come over to where our group were camping last weekend, let the dog have a crap around 30 feet away from our tents but in the general area of the group, and then ran off, possibly to where he was pitched never to be seen again.

Also, we had a space hopper bounce off the tent in the middle of the afternoon. Said space hopper owner never to be seen again - maybe it fell from the sky. So upon packing up I gave it to the kids next door as nobody had claimed it.

And this was at a renowned bad site. ;-) There were cars banging out music at the other end of the site, but we were well away from it in the more relaxed part of the site. So not a bad weekend all in all - I had expected it to be far worse, but it was ok - if a bit lively and expensive at times (£4.20 for a pint of lager ).

...it's down to us good campers who firmly outweigh the bad ones to report the sinners...and if site management don't seem to give a hoot, a heads up on this wonderful site may just give others a fighting chance.
Carry on camping folks.......
