That brings back memories of when my eldest three girls were camping with us up on what is now Conwy tourist park. They were around 10yrs old at the time, and we were tent camping for a few days in the start of our main summer holiday. On the second night we wrre there, a young couple with a trailer tent arrived on the next pitch to us, and announced that they were newly weds on their honeymoon. Well you can guess the rest, after a few drinks down the pub they returned to their tent and soon settled down to do what honeymooners do, and were not exactly discrete about it!
After about an hour, they were still at it, and had woken up our eldest one, who decided she needed the loo, so off she goes across the path to the loo, but when she returned, she decided that she had had enough of the racket that was being made next door, and does no more than bang on the metal base of their combi camp, and shout at them to wake up and stop having nightmares!
Needless to say, the next morning a very red faced couple emerged and started to pack away, despite them telling us when they arrived that they had booked and paid for a three night stay.
Im not quite sure who was at fault, them for being so noisy on a family site, or our daughter shouting her mouth off because she was tired and they were keeping her awake.

Almost every friday I would be gaily skipping home from school(you could in the early 60s)--I would turn the corner into my street and it would be there..waiting for me..the dreaded outfit(thats what they were called in the old days)..A vauxhall viva ha and an astral ranger 10.I would be slung in the back seat and carted off to a muddy field in the middle of nowhere to spend 2 days and nights imprisoned in a little box listening to the rain and watching countless others do the same.No electric..gas mantles only.A bucket full of nasty chemicals in a little square tent outside as a toilet...and every meal was smash,mince and peas. Should the sun shine...out with the swing-ball and occasionally on an evening there would be a Barn dance
This was where any kids were tucked away in a corner and forced to sit on hay-bales and drink pop and be quiet!!!They didnt like kids those caravanners.I still hide if I see a caravan coming due to being deeply traumatised back in the 60,s
