They can`t do adult only, they have a child.

So sorry things are not going right for you, we`ve had a couple of sites that we haven`t enjoyed beacause of different things that have annoyed us. Go and have a look around at some other sites and move if you can. Try some of the cs sites they may be less crowded.

Well done to you for going camping, don`t give up.  Just remember that sometimes things don`t always go to plan.

How about investing in a porta loo and toilet / utility tent.  That way if you find a site that's got a good pitch near the toilet block you can pitch there, and not bother with the portaloo but if not you've always got your own for backup and you can pitch wherever you fancy.

I hope things get better on site.

We have had teenage boys and girls and like most parents "if they knew" would not be expecting their children to act disrespectfully. I would be inclined to have a chat with their parents. If they are also disrespectful then i would raise the problem with the warden. We have had tents, trailer tents, folding campers and two caravans over the years.

And

If it were me i would not pitch near toilets if i could avoid it as it tends to be a meeting , chating, cycling, skateboard point and in general tends to be noisier and much brighter (due to toilet lighting ) and in some cases more smelly! and oh yes - more muddy if not on hard standing due to people walking back and forth.

People use it late at night and early morning and often forget that you can hear everything behind that thin sheet of nylon / canvas!

Why not ask to be moved, even better have a chat with the caravaners and ask them to help?  Quite often people will not offer help but are more than willing when asked - i think its a British thing!
