i once sent for some snorer's nose clips on ebay but they didn't turn up. It was the only time i have ever had that happen. I think perhaps they thought the snorers would be too embarrased to complain!

Hi Buy yourself a supply of nose clips swimmers use, and when you find out which one snores give the other a clip to pop on the snorers nose. well it might be a solution if you don't like ear plugs. Rex
I think swimmers nose clips would only add to the problem - most snoring is caused by breathing through the mouth anyway, and a swimmers nose clip would only make things worse by blocking the nasal passages completely.

we had a snorebeast next to us and the noises he was making made us lay awake laughing,i was worried when he went silent for a bit haha.
the farters are funny too lol we had a couple behind us that must have had beans the whole trip lol.
thank god they didnt smoke or we would have all gone up pmsl.
My OH is also a very loud snorer, but sending the kids to play around our tent at 6am wouldn't work, as he's up and in the shower by 5:30am anyway .
He doesn't always snore, and he does sometimes use those nose strips, but like BigGraeme, we're not going to stop camping because of his snoring. That's like saying people with babies shouldn't camp in case their kids wake up screaming for a feed in the middle of the night.
We all have to put up with some form of noise from our neighbours on a campsite, it's just one of those things.
I agree with people saying they can't help snoring and won't stop camping, but I think it's the way in which Graeme said tough luck that prompted the comment about kids playing near his tent at 6 am.

Campers do it in the mud!
Hubby says we can't camp as much this yr mmm we'll see!!
camped in 2009= 27nights
Booked for 2010 = 30 nights.
My hubby snores terribly and I do feel for our neighbours but then you must expect to hear other people's snoring, farting, coughing, babies crying etc. when you are in a field with only fabric separating you.
The only noise that annoys me is selfish excessive noise late at night or early in the morning that can be helped.
Campers have to expect that they will hear the noise of others and if it keeps you awake then you must have ear plugs at the ready.
Sorry to anyone on Tower Park, St Buryan in August,
I'm a terrible snorer, apparently!
I think the German family next to us must have taped me snoring one night. Either that, or the sound loop they were playing out of their motorhome window towards our tent, was some form of weird Bavarian ear trumpet, prog-folk music.
Tents really carry the noise don't they - when we were away at the weekend there was a guy whose tent was at least 20ft away snoring like a wilderbeast didn't wake me but I did have a chuckle when I realised what it was.
If I heard him snoring from that distance imagine the nuisance my husband caused by breaking wind constantly all morning after devouring a cheeseboard in the pub the night before - certainly annoyed me!
I always find it quite amazing when I read posts about noise on here. You go to your chosen site and pitch a tent and then moan about people making noise... I can understand when its people being selfish and inconsiderate, but most of the time its someones kids, or someone snoring or having a quiet chat at 11.00pm....lighten up for petes sake, what do you do when its windy or seaguls or crows are roosting or theres any one of 100 noises that no one can do anything about...? you have to live with it...your on holiday, if you dont get your full 8hours dont fret...take an afternoon nap and dont spend the day cursing and worrying about your sleep being disturbed again. I cant help feeling if you cant stand it, buy a caravan or stay at home...thats what I would do....
The problem is that campsites are packing tents in too tightly so any noise feels like its coming from your own tent.
This year at La Guyonniere we had a humungous pitch. Got back one night to find a caravan complete with baby and jack russell - my heart sank. The baby did cry a lot, and you could hear the footsteps in the caravan - but due to the size of the pitch we were able to put our car in between the tent and their van and that deadened the noise a bit, and tbh it wasn't too bad. The dog bless it was no bother, except when it was allowed to run around while we were bbq'ing - hubby was worried we would be having hot dog with our dinner LOL!
All that being said, if a person knows that they make anti-social noise on a regular basis (above and beyond what would be considered 'normal') then it really is pretty selfish to go tent camping. I would count into that regular 'train snoring' (e.g. the sort of people whose other halves often decamp to the spare room at home) or people who know their child will tantrum EVERY night/morning (as opposed to the occasional hooley all kids throw now and then).
