I don't worry about anything when I am camping. But before we are actually camped, I do always hope we get decent neighbours though. So far we've been lucky
having great neighbours is a must!!
it's nice just to have someone friendly next to you that will come over and have a chat..... been to some places and the people around you just ignore you , lol if you say hello, good morning evening ect,ect they look at you like your aliens!!

2013 Season.
Upgraded from a TT to a caravan.
Loving it!
Roll on summer :-)
I have a new worry, while camping at the weekend someone onsite was letting off fireworks, if one of them had went off course and fired into tents it would have been terrifying, this was at night, when people are maybe putting kids down for the night imagine children,dogs being scared of fireworks and parents being scared of one going off course.
The owners of campsite quickly had a word with them, and it stopped.
The only things I worry about are, will it be dry to pitch and also to decamp, but the main thing I worry about is how fast the days go when I'm camping and how soon it is before I'm back at work. Our recent 19 days off just flew by!

Great fireworks, I dont mind on the one night they are supposed to be on or the weekend either side of bonfire night. I have a rescued collie it took 3 years to normalise him and fireworks send him right back and he hides behind the settee shaking. Bonfire night we sedate him fair enough. If we were in the tent he woulkd try to escape and will run and run if he got away.

tell you what i did worry about on my last couple of camping trips..is those chinese lanterns...they are so dangerous....
oh and of course the wind..., yep mother natures and the oh's
Yes, there are almost always Lanterns being let off at and near Breck Farm - thankfully where we choose to pitch the ones from Breck itself usually go one side or the other of us, but the Kelling Heath ones burn out some way short normally, and I do worry a bit about one of those coming down on someone's tent.
Other than that, just the usual wind conditions - invariably lie there edgily wondering if everything is OK, and knowing that at the point I get up to check, I will also need to go for a wee! The only time I've been properly apprehensive when in the tent though was a couple of weeks ago at Alfriston, when there was a lad staggering round the place, shouting and swearing and clearly very drunk - sounded like he was having a fight with himself TBH, and we were just waiting for the sound of a car starting - would have been out of the tent and in our own car like a shot if that had happened!

------------- If you go camping to "get away from it all" - why take it all with you?
1- shall I 'go' one last time before I go to bed (seems to be a popular worry) - that loo block seems a mile away at 2 a.m - now I always have a ladies 'pink bucket' in my tent - hardly ever use it
2- when I am in bed and I hear that high-pitched zzzz of a hungry mosquito fly past my ear
3- spotting a Ghetto blaster being unpacked
4- am I going to be too cold at night (self-confessed wimp)
5- when going off the site for a day-trip - did I turn the gas off at the regulator? I've turned the car around so many times to double-check and it's always OK, I just forget to remember I've remembered
6- as already mentioned, the summer flying by, the days getting shorter -sooo depressing
