That's odd behaviour of them (unless you were close to toilets or ....) The logic is stranger

So thats why people have wind  breaks round there tents, not for sheltering while cooking, but preventing the  herding instincts of fellow campers who like to cozy up with their neighbours.   But not so practical if backpacking. 

For cars maybe their owners don't like the thought of them being lonely and need some company while they are away whilst doing some shopping.

We're planning an outing later this month.

It looks as though it will coincide with Half Term, my wife thinks not many families will be using the sites. I'm not convinced.

Either way, the chances are we'll have someone decide to try and mate their pegs with ours. LOL

We don't use wind-breaks as we use the 'KISS' principle.
Though, I did once consider using 4 poles at each corner of my pitch, and looping Hi-Vis cord around them to make a perimeter fence. LOL

I hate arriving back at campsite to find someone is too close to you, it totally changes the  feeling of the trip, we don't want to be loud and disrupt them and we hope they are not too loud and disrupt us.

It's like those leaning in people that get too much in your space when talking to you that you have to step backwards several times, Space Invaders

Someone parked so close to the back of me, they ripped my towbar cover, i left a note asking them to be more considerate and that I had their registration and would be in touch if there was any damage to my towbar.

We had this problem at the end of september a 1 night camp at coopers farm edale . took the mrs and kids to the pubs back to the tent around 9 to find a small tent pitched right next to ours and between our landy and tent ? to top it off the loon came back at 1am hammerd and procceded to through up all night . i got up early and made breakfast in our landy i must have dropped the pans loads of times and couldnt hear if every 1 wanted tea  . kids got up and where encouraged to bounce the foot ball off the offending tent . i wouldnt have been so annoyed but there was at least half an acher to each side of our tent . i was going to say somthing to the occupant but when he got up he was in his 50s and the smell when the tent opened put me off .if he couldnt figure where to pitch a tent by your 50s then id be wasting my breath . oh and by the way when he drove off site i called the police as he was still clearly over the limit .

The moral is spoil my weekend and i will ruin yours . but we had a good days walking
