They're generally the type of site that's a field though, surely there's plenty of room for balls, bikes and other people. Good old fashioned camping! I do have a problem when families are always condemned for letting their children be children!

Some of these sites are big enough for ball games and bike riding without problems and some are not. Actually the worst problem we had was on a small commercial site which I believe is now adults only.

Well, we use the CSs with sprod in tow, no problems.  Always seen well behaved kids on these sites and put it down to the fact as the sites are not promoted as having ( we will keep your child amused while you ignore them, extras )  then they tend to get the parents that expect to play with and entertain the children themselves.

Quality family time, as It should be.

I have always taken my children to CLs and CSs.  It was the only holiday we could afford when the older two were young.  Have to admit they were holidays we all enjoyed too.  Though ours have never been the football playing type.  It was a base for our holiday.  Went out for days, came back, had BBQ, then played cards in the awning.  Now, its just me and and my youngest, we go camping to nice quiet CS's and she loves the peace as much as I do when we settle down in our tent to read books.  I hope there are always places like this we can go, there are too many good quiet sites changing to adults only. 

Have used CL's with our two and had no problems from others but we expect ours to know how to behave. Lazy parenting often results in bored children getting themselves into trouble IMO - kids should only be given the freedom to be kids once they understand a few basics of how to behave IMO aswell

I probably have more of an issue with those closed away in their vans/ m-homes with  TV's blaring away in the evening or sitting in awnings late at night talking loudly. Noise carries on quiet sites from everyone, not just kids...........

As others have said there are many CL's that are adults only at that gives those the option who don't want kids around to stay there
