The mop and bucket had probably "borrowed" by someone to clean their groundsheet

I don't envy campsite owners at all, so many campers appear to want beautiful facilities but are not prepared to treat them with any care at all; they want to use full SIG's and (also groundsheets outside their tents) for a week and then complain that the grass is dead and the pitch gets muddy; they want the toilets cleaned around their own personal toileting schedule; they expect the site to have 24 hour staff to deal with those who are noisy even though they haven't reported the noise because they "don't want to be involved"; they want to run their fan heaters all night in a tent because "they have paid for EHU"....and so much more...

AND more importantly they don't care what it costs to provide, clean, maintain, renew these facilities they only want to pay a tenner because "it's only a patch of grass and you can get a Travel Lodge for £29". Oh and they want to "name and shame" on here when they perceive that things haven't gone their way.

I sound a bit like a stuck record, but we are in danger of losing our small independent campsites who are struggling to make any money - we'll then be left with the big chains of "Holiday Parks" and then let's see what happens to prices when there is little competition...

You work here don't you?? ( joke!!!)  But seriously you sum this up fantastically Piglet, at times we are in a no win situtaion. 

I will balance this slightly and say that for every customer who states what you say above there are at least 3 customers whom do understand and do take good care of things and will address their concerns if they have any.... sadly these people over the years are becoming less and less.  We try on our site to sum it up in one word, RESPECT, and really that's all it takes we respect our customers their wants and needs and thus ask that they respect us and our park the same, a sad refelection on society when there is no respect tho from adults and children alike

You really don't want to get me started on the ladies toilets.

Suffice to say, you want to try entering a cubicle where The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has just taken place, and the offending article ended up behind the toilet waste pipe, having been spread across all three walls en-route.

To just walk away and expect someone to clean this mess up was unforgivable, but I had no choice and as a bloke I could not comprehend the mentality nor self pride which was clearly missing!!!
