Ginger2014, you joined UKCS to say all this. Why don't you use the Search tab and tick on the "no dogs"?? you need never stay on a site with dogs ever again.
But you'll never read this post & you've probably sold your 'van anyway.
Happy New Year.

Now getting rid of ours as we feel the self entitled dog folk have won. We just won't bother going on holiday any more as there is no "rest and relaxation" on a noisy site.

Welcome to UKCS Ginger. You don't give your location or how far you would want to travel but I would say don't give up something you've always enjoyed just because of other peoples' barking dogs etc. If you haven't explored the many features of this website yet then try using the 'camp site search' button at the top of each page - you can select an area and various criteria you want from a site, one of which is 'no dogs allowed'. Do give it a go before you consider giving up completely, I hope you manage to find somewhere which suits your needs

There are all of 3 within 120 miles of where I live that don't let dogs on and very few in the UK generally.

Firstly, I am a dog owner, but I do feel more sites should have a no pets policy, or should I say perhaps a “responsible dog owner only” policy.

I reckon 50% of the dog owners who bring their pets to campsites have no consideration for those who do not wish to be bothered by dogs, and that includes owners with those horrendous, should be banned, extendable leads who allow their little tiddles to p**s on my jockey wheel!........
No, they didn’t do it again. 🤬🤬

Sorry, slight topic highjack.

I think you are more than likely to hear the gas gun type bird scare now, thanks to the likes of Pacham, rewild and Natural England. The latter being responsible for the general licence. Farmers have to show that crows and pigeons are a problem to their crops and then have to first employ non-lethal methods to move the birds on. The birds will move on to another field therefore the need to deploy another gas gun, and so on. This means the numbers of crows and pigeons never decrease but will only increase.
I live in the country so the gas gun that fires off every 20 mins or so starting at 7.45am and continuing all through the daylight hours doesn’t bother me so much, as I accept the farmer has a business to run but a person with a gun one afternoon would get better results.

No respite from them where I live. September to April on Rape,April to July on peas then all through august on cauliflowers so 365 days a year. Struggle to find anywhere on the Eastern side of the UK not afflicted by the damn things. I will never get used to the noise,I don't see how that is even possible. Even 3 grand on triple glazing was a waste of money, bought the van thinking we would get away for a bit of peace and quiet.

but no

chance...

There are so many sites out there that do not allow dogs, if you use the search options, as others have suggested , you will find loads.

If you give some info on your location, etc, then we would be able to find you sites locally that do not allow dogs.

Here is a page with loads of Dog Free Sites in Norfolk to give you an example

Cheers Ratty

A lot of those don't allow motorhomes or campervans though (narrows it down to 3), my tent days are over...
For a weekend away leaving on friday and returning sunday I'd not drive more than 100 miles each way.

Actually Caravans / motorhomes allowed and dog free sites in Norfolk produces 11 results not three!

However we have established there are lots of sites in all areas accepting caravans, motorhomes and no dogs, just use the links on this site

I suppose if you live in a rural location you will no doubt encounter people going about their rural affairs..,pest control etc ?
