Wild camp. There is only one rule. Leave no trace.

Interesting post. Here’s my take

When researching a campsite I check reviews and I look for what I call “positive negatives”. In other words campsites that generally have excellent ratings but on further reading of the negative reviews you find a lot of disgruntled campers complaining about the “rules”. These are the ones who say “we only had the music on low and were just having a laugh over a few drinks and then we were asked to leave the site” The owner response then pains a very different picture “we had 10 complaints about your noise and the swearing and we do not tolerate verbal abuse or physical threats etc etc”

So personally I like a campsite with lots of rules clearly spelt out so that it gives more leverage to call out those that have no respect for others.

I always try to respect others and the rules and still manage to have a great time.

As we all know it takes one family pitching next to you to absolutely ruin your holiday and you can tell within a few minutes what is about to happen.

I also have young children and they have been taught to respect quiet times but it hasn’t impacted on the run they have on site

I do the exact same thing!

To be frank, my favourite campsite probably has the most 'rules' of any I've stayed on. In reality they enhance the camping experience for everyone. Strict quiet times mean a good night's sleep, shoe covers provided for use in the showers/loo block mean they're always really clean.

Shoe covers for use in the showers and loo block?! That's something I've never seen on any campsite we've visited!

But what do you do when alcohol fuelled neighbours arrive back at 12.45 am and wake everyone up? We had this in France recently. We didn't tell the Warden in the morning as we hoped it would be a one off. However the second night they arrived back at 11.00pm and proceeded to talk very loudly. We asked them 3 times to keep it quiet as the campsite rule was 10.00pm silence, but the third time the man was abusive to OH. They finally went to their separate tents (on the same pitch) about 12.15 am, we were still awake. They did leave the next day, they said they would be going.
