I watch just to see what tent they've got. Although I'm happy with our tents, I still love to look at others. I usually take a different route to the shower block every day just to have a nosey at the tents I missed the day before  

I usually put the kettle too & take them a cuppa once they've finished pitching their tent, so they can have a break before they start unloading all the equipment.

Years ago on Riverside Caravan Park Plymouth,we really did see Mr and Mrs Perfect. The arrived and immediately set out things in Military precision.[I was very proud of them] But everything came straight out of plastic bags, or wrappers. We thought they were new but discovered they do this every trip. Later it really was the pure white table cloth with set piece table outside and flowers and candle on the table. Every night was the same. We had our youngest lad and the 2 kids from next door with us in an old ci Sprite. Must have looked like the Clampets! The Perfects did the reverse action when they left. Everything went into its place or bag/wrapper. Funny thing was, they never spoke to a soul while they were there.

The kids rekoned they were just there to make the rest of us look stupid.

We always treat newcomers with interest, watching others pitch is one of the most entertaining things we see on site, first thing we do is put the kettle on because, by our own experience, all we want when the tent is pitched is a brew, if they look like greenhorns we offer assistance but other than that we take them a cuppa when they are pegging out
