spent 4 nights at red bank farm this week. weather was totally wrong again, meant to rain all day tuesday and wednesday - we had one pathetic shower! speaking of showers.... we get what we pay for! i think i have spent too many nights at nice clean sites, so it was a bit of a shock to see people washing wellies in the sink, and after a shower i needed another one when i came out. have been to this site a few times now, but will not be returning! apart from the muck we had a lovely week, i always expect to come home filthy anyway! am i a camping snob now?!

haha not at all, I don't think I would be impressed with people washing wellies in the in the sinks!!  That's disgusting, plus aren't wellies meant to be dirty anyway!!!

I like the showers to be nice...although at Flamborough (Grange Farm) you have stalls and have to work the shower my pulling and holding onto a bit of rope!  Clean even though part of a barn!!

We've just got back from a 'Haven' site in Burnham.  Never again!  That is exactly what some people were doing.  Disgusting

Not to mention going in there for their cigarette breaks, and apparently the one shower was blocked due to someone going to the toilet in it, and this was the womens toilet.

Is it me or am I being a snob too, but does it seem to be getting worse?

More than ever, I think it is so important to chose my destined campsite very carefully, these days. To try and leave the overcommercialized campsites and the majority that uses those having an attitude of leaving it all down to staff as "we pay for the comfort so will do whatever we like".

Depending on the level of catering wanted, I opt for the quieter campsites any time. Where children can play happily outside without being a nuisance. Happy children's noise isn't disturbing noise, really. Besides, it can be a source of entertainment watching it from the relaxed atmosphere from your pitch.

Where social responsibility is such that we care and watch out for eachother or eachothers gear when we're away for the day.

These sites still exist; I've been on one in Wales this year. Of course, there is the odd screwball driving across the site in his 4X4 at silly hours looking for his eloped dog and the posh motorhomeowner that tripped several EHU, rendering me and a neighbour "leccyless" but those are minor things if you think of it in the whole scheme of a relaxing camping trip.

Every year around this time I read those sad stories of hard earned holidays gone down the drain because of numpties, anti-social behaviour, too close pitching and neighbours from hell. So, I think choosing a campsite is so very important to really enjoy a camping trip.

Haven is a bit hit and miss.  We stayed at 2 this year.  Perran Sands was a complete dump but Seaview at Weymouth was incredibly lovely.
