Has anyone got any recomendations for quiet sites in Wales, prefer the coast but dont mind inland. We have just returned from a gorgeous site near newquay which has been totally ruined by extremely noisy neighbours. We had to listen to 8 or 9 very loud voices, an even louder tv and 2 very noisy dogs till midnight every night. To make it worse, they were all up at 6.30am every morning clattering pans, shouting and playing with the dogs so that they howled and barked non stop. When we complained to the owner, he suggested we have a word with them, which we did not really want to do, so we had to put up with it. The owner did not live on site so nobody could sort it out.

We are very anxious not to have this happen again so we need to pick our site really carefully. Any advice would be welcomed, we have 2 children but a play area is not important and we definately dont want a club house. Thanks in advance.

Hi vevans

Please name and shame.

I  am so very sorry you didn't have a good time but I am sure our members will giive some good advice on quiet sites where you can have a relaxing stay.

Have to agree with previous posters, noisy neighbours was the main reason we joined the C&CC.
We've stayed on a few of their club sites and all is dead quiet by about 10.45pm.
We did once have a slight problem but it was sorted within minutes - I know they're not everybodys cup of tea, but we very rarely stay on commercial sites now.

Hi

Try here http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=4847 we visited here, lovely quiet site, good site owners, childrens playarea, cheap prices.  The only thing is the site gets booked up very quick.

Hope this helps

Debbie

This site is inland, but if you want quiet 

you will get it here    http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=1674

Thank you all for your advice. Have thought about camping and caravan club but had heard few negative things about over the top wardens, however, I would have welcomed one this weekend !

The campsite in question is Cei Bach Country Club near Newquay. It gets glowing reviews on here and we checked it out beforehand and loved it. I am not sure if we were just unlucky but it is the first time we have camped on the coast and our first time with a club house on site, so maybe we should have expected more noise. Also they ask for quiet after midnight when the clubhouse finishes, so this is later than others.The owner did not live on the camp site which I felt made a difference, although he did stopover the one night to keep an eye on a problem family on site. The site is in a beautiful position but it did seem to have a few large groups.

Will definately check out the sites recommended and look into joining the camping club. Thanks all.

that site looks lovely.

We normally go west but one of our daughters has moved to the midlands (we are on the south coast) so that would make a nice half way point :)

yes, try a certificated site, if you are not a member of the Camping and Caravan Club you can usually join at the site. Many of them have electricity, showers and loos so don't be put off by the idea that they are all "tap in a field" type sites.
