I'd like to see tents without vehicles seperated!
As a very lightweight camper, can get a bit fed up being surrounded by vehicles,caravans, campervans etc!
Actually some sites do this
One of the reasons that my number of wild camping nights is increasing( currently about 25%)

Though a couple of C.& C.C. 'Club sites' I've been too definitely seem to separate the two (with the caravans getting the nicer pitches!),

Many C&CC site managers seem to think that a caravan needs a nice level pitch but a tent can be pitched anywhere.  In actual fact a caravan can be levelled to some extent but a tent cannot and will not erect correctly on an uneven surface.

Couldnt we just leave the caravans in a car park...I mean whats the difference??

I have to say don't mind what type of unit we are next to but I do like the more  communal atmosphere when amongst other tents as everyone tends to be outdoors and caravanners don't tend to do this so much.

We were in a field of caravans/motorhomes when we were in North Devon a couple of weekends ago and ended up pitched on our own by the 2nd night - Do you think they were trying to tell us something??  

As far as noise in caravans goes my mum and dad had a caravan and they always thought it was noisier being next to a tent due to zips going up and down in the middle of the night!!

Modern ones seem to look too similar and aerodynamic - almost like huge fridges lying on their side. Whoops, maybe I shouldn't have said that!    Johnny

That's exactly what I said to Mr F last summer, as we looked down on our cmap site from the top of Wether Fell! Great minds.

My friend is very hacked off. The people who bought the house next door to her have got a huge tourer parked in their drive and it completely obscures her view in one direction. She's a nosey old bat, and likes to see who's coming along the road, so she finds this very hard to bear.

I'll have to tell her about the fridge thing - she's likely to go roundand ask them if the  have room in it to store some beer next time she has a party!

 

 

Given the choice, I would prefer to be surrounded by caravans. At least most of the noise, from my experence is retained inside.
