You're right, I did ask for it so I will consider all but 1 of your comments. Would rather exclude caravans and thier owners than well behaved dogs with responible humans.
Happy to have a dog free zone and a large space set out for excersizing them further away, but they will always be allowed access to the communal areas if well behaved and cleaned up after. To be honest the only reason my other half will be letting you lot come is so that she gets to meet all your dogs. Go figure.

The vast majority of the site will be wood/charcoal fire and barbeque free with smoke and sparks being sensibly controlled where they are permitted. 30 acres is huge so I'm sure we can accomodate both the people looking for a home from home with planted front garden and those looking for a more raw experience.

Noise levels will be managed by polite request and hopefully stearing people with similar aspirations to the appropiate spot. There will be notices to let people know there might be a better location within the overall site for their activities.

Please bare in mind, the goal is peace and quiet not police state. We will set up with best intentions and adjust accordingly, hopefully learning as we go. I'm sure and hope you'll tell us when we get it wrong



You had me with your first paragraph! We sadly lost our beautiful boy Bailey in February and aren't ready for another one yet, but nothing gives me more pleasure that meeting doggie while I'm camping and seeing them and their humans having a great holiday together!

Good, clean facilities aplenty, at least 4 or 5 showers for each sex, additional dog showers would be fab! Off-lead area for dogs. Large pitches big enough for tent, shelter/day tent and car, fire pits and if not all adult only, at least a separate field. Level pitches with good drainage.

I'm trying to combine all the good bits of our favourite sites. Don't know how far you are prepared to go but one has an onsite cafe that does breakfasts and meals on a weekend, they also offer delivery service to your pitch for those with dogs, including an amazing sunday roast.

Finally a good policy on quiet times and respecting your fellow campers. Minimal noise before 8.30 and after 11.00.

Well done and best of luck with your venture, I look forward to you reporting back on your progress.

I will carry on avoiding sites that allow the use of fire pits. not because im a kill joy but because I have seen enough of the damage they cause from my neighbour and the damage to my greenhouse, the very last thing I want to see is damage to my awning or caravan/car too, perhaps those in tents should consider this, ok yes a fire might make you a bit warmer while sat around it, but when the embers start spitting and land on your tent what are you going to do then? so in the mean time I refuse to use such sites

100% agree with marg6, in addition a van full of smoke is no pleasure.

I would absolutely not stay at a campsite that allows open fires.
