You're always going to get whingers - and camping's seemingly a hobby that is full of them.

So, they arrived late because of no fault of their own. And you was you tempted to turn them away? Really? Maybe I need to start looking at staying in hotels as I would certainly be upset if you'd turned me away for no fault of my own at 10pm - I could do without that risk of having nowhere to stay at the end of a long drive, especially with kids in tow.

So, you would give preference to them possibly if it had been a tourer or motorhome (which could, if desperate, find somewhere to lay up for the night). What is it with giving preference to these units over tent campers? Is it because they have the largest sense of entitlement? Make the largest demands? Shout the loudest? Is it because they've spent 20K on a shiny plywood box on wheels? I really don't understand this. Do they not pay the same for the pitch? (That's begging for the other question as to why they often also get the better placed pitches at many sites).

I may have read this wrong...and if I have then I apologise profusely but when did Ang say that she was tempted to turn them away? Or that she'd have given preference if they were a tourer?

I think I'm confused

It was implied from what Ang said - I hope it doesn't come across as mean - it's just a view ;-)

"The problem is - if we had turned them away we would of been the 'Bad Guys' for 3 families - and what would the last family have done? Slept in a layby in the car?"

"If it had been a Tourer, campervan or motorhome - they may or may not of made so much noise but there's no guarantee of that even!"

The other question is: Am I wrong in my view that tin tenter gets preferential treatment at a lot of sites?
