Many of the campsites I have been to recently suffer with loss of grass on the pitches so perhaps a bit of Astroturf might not go amiss

I know a site where they have gone to great expense in erecting a sign telling you which way to point your "van" so you can see the "grass".

I agree, shocking. We are stopped at a forest campsite and the staff just let the leaves and pine needles fall off the trees.

At the site I was on this weekend, the staff were so lazy they allowed the rain to fall on my awning while I was packing up this morning

Its pure idleness on the part of the camp site. I dont buy the rubbish about having nowhere to put the cuttings. All campsites have quiet corners where all sorts can be dumped. With a decent mower it doesnt take long to collect cuttings if the grass isnt allowed to get a foot long. In fact if they cut it more, the finer it would become, and the less cuttings it would throw up. Leaving all the crap all over to trail everywhere is plain wrong. If you walked around throwing sweet wrappers/rubbish as you went, on the grounds there wasnt a bin handy, they would soon moan - and rightly so. So why leave their 'rubbish' all over the place?

Just come back from the weekend away and had that problem, it was all in the caravan, on bottom of shoes and even got into the dogs water. I did ask the site manager but he said that it would be impossible to remove it all because it would blow away, but just to leave it puts me off going there again.

I am such a lazy b**ch when at the caravan (not at home where I can be overly fussy about mess) and so at one with nature 😛such things dont bother me. I dont clean the van or the awning till I'm leaving (unless we're there for a long break) so tend to ignore stuff like grass etc unless it becomes a hazard! It's worthy of a mention if I even shower when camping 😉😉Last week I saw my neighbour washing the grill part of her charcoal barbeque. I didnt know people did such things. But that's me lol.
