I'm very new to camping and i'm just getting all my kit together for a trip in a months time. Can anyone give me any times as to what the rules are? I've heard some sites are very strict and others are quite relaxed.

One thing thats bothering me is that we want to be able to sit in or outside the tent having a drink come the evening and not have to be in bed by 10pm! We're not roudy but i dont want to be kicked off the site for talking quietly or enjoying the outdoors at night.

Any advice welcome.

I didi do a serch but nothing came up under curfews for this section.

Thanks for the info

You will find the warden will explain quiet times to you when you book so dont worry, you can stay up as late as you want , the only secret is treat everyone as you would like them to treat you and you cant go wrong honest.

have a nice time ok

totally agree with steven, treat other as you would like them to treat you. Try maybe to keep the noise at a level that other a few meters away from you still can go to bed ( and sleep) at ten if they want. And bear in mind that camping is hugely a family activity and some of the younger ones might really need their sleep by ten. Our daughter is 5 and we have had a problem once or twice with that. It was just too noisy for her to go to sleep. But then we are not talking about a couple of people chatting quietly over a glass of wine, but a group of several adults getting a bit drunk and progressively louder. So please remember the little ones everybody. Otherwise next time I will let her have revenge by making lots of noise as soon as she gets up. Which at the moment I try and curb even beyond the "quiet time" as I realise that others don't have small children and might want a bit of a ly- in on holiday. Ok, rant over.

Just got back from 2 weeks at stowford, there were some right noisy gits there, 99% people were fine, for instance there was a group next to us, they came back from the clubhouse at midnight, talking and laughing really loud, then one of the fellas started shouting bogey, him and his mate were doing this for about 45 mins, they kept on talking and laughing really loud till about 2.45am.

TBH If you went to bed at midnight and kept the noise levels to a minimum then i wouldnt see a problem.

although i gotta say the last 2 weeks have been freezing come 9pm.

Just check out the individual park rules when you arrive, each park has different times and slightly different rules.

Remember that the rules are put there so everyone can enjoy their holiday and as everyone is different Park Owners/Wardens have to come up with a general set of rules that suits their particular Park.

Excessive noise could result in eviction - any decent park will allow you to sit out after deadline so long as you do not disturb others around you.

Most folk have been out and about all day and kids are settled and they do not want to listen to someone elses shouted/loud conversation/music etc.

Like others have already said - remember you only have a piece of fabric between you and your neighbours.

If you are disturbed by someone partying or fighting full of drink you should inform the Warden as they do not know what is going on everywhere on the Park at all times.

Nothing can be resolved unless you spill the beans.

Any decent Warden/Manager will have a quiet word with the problem party and will not disclose where that complaint came from - if a party does not settle they will be made to leave a site.

Park Owners like to keep their good customers - one noisy party can clear a campsite in one evening.

Enjoy your camping trips you will find you meet lots of other wonderful people and get to some fantastic places.
