I really want to be able to camp on adult only sites. My son is now 15 and it seems that most campsites charge him an adult rate. However, when I look at adult only campsites, it never says at what age they count someone as being an adult. Has anyone else had this problem?
I would love a quiet site without small children being allowed to run around and scream at 5am!

The age limit varies, you will have to check with the individual site.

There's an old thread on this subject that might help. Seems to be generally 18+ but sites do vary. http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=4&TopicID=23........

We are also in the same boat, our 15 yr old begrugingly comes with us and if she had her way would spend most of her time sat in the corner of the lounge watching tv or on the phone - I doubt if a site would know she was with us.

Think the only answer is to ring and ask, and if they don't want our custom that's their loss.

We too are sick of noisy tearabouts who insist on playing ball games near our van. I look forward to the day we can go out of school holiday time.

Yes our son is really quiet. Usually attached to headphones.
Our daughter got banned off family holidays after she turned 16 and was totally brattish.

I've got 2 suggestions for you, but a long way from South east London!
Serenity in Hinderwell near Whitby, not adult only but nothing for small children to do, so never seen any there.
Faichmed Farm, Invergarry. We were there this week it's adults only but a family with 2 teenagers were staying in a tent next to us.

We've just come back from Huntick Farm near Poole. Adults only from 16. Nice and quiet, maybe worth a white lie for the want of a few months?
