Hello,

Going on first camping trip with another family next weekend and was wondering if anyone had any advice regarding camping with others.  For example what do people do regarding proximity of tents to each other.  Obviously it would be nice to be side by side but would it be just too close at night when you'd literally be able to hear every noise they make eg snoring? 

Any other do's and don't re camping with others much appreciated!

When we've done this with friends or with my extended family we have a pretty basic 'rule' that we do our own thing during the day and meet up on one pitch or other in the evening. Of course, if you end up wanting to do the same thing during the day you might end up seeing more of one another, but I find it's good to have the personal space to get away a bit!

Tent or caravan pitching diatance sort of depends on the site, but a sensible distance apart is wise - you don't have to feel like you're on top of one another.

We go camping with four other families and always have a great time, we pitch next to each other, we all chip in with meals etc and generally stick together, the kids find it brilliant and it also helps them to learn about helping each other, respecting each others space and really brings out the best in them.

I would really recommend camping with other families.

Hi,

We go camping alot with my family, we tend to go our separate ways in the day, and meet up and night
