We spent the Bank Holiday in the forest of Dean due to CC National being cancelled. It was busy,mix of campers (mostly and caravans). We had tenters either side of us, nice folk. 

The children were polite and well behaved.

 Yes the kids were playing near our van-a bit noisy at times but so what?

You need to have a bit of give and take?

However it was quiet in the evenings

 It was nice to see kids and their parents enjoying themselves in the fresh air.

 We have none of our own but SWMBO is a health visitor and I am a lecturer so used to kids/young folks.

Felt sorry for them in the wet though!

 The couple one side arrivedw ith a medium sized tent, 2 growing lads, and dog-went out and came back with a new much bigger tent which they put up and moved into!

Must have been fed  up with being cramped!

But a good time had despite 2 wet days! Forest sites are good but big!

We had a family of four in a tent just over the fence to us in Cornwall a few years ago and played tapes of the old comedy radio shows with all the canned laughter,this was played within seconds of them returning to their tent or getting up in the morning and was not turned off while they were on site.

After a couple of days of this i politely told them to turn it off or i would put the radio in the bin that was right next to them,all was quiet from then on.

Also for the last few years at Cofton there have been 2 Welsh families in large caravans pitched next to each other who spend all day shouting at each other,well this year you can shout all you like we won't hear you because this year we are in the New Forest
