I can understand both sides here but feel noise deposit comes into effect after the fact,ok you pay up front but as someone jokingly said..have a noisy p**s up and loose the £10 in the morning,
Have it £10 per person, then it adds up to a significant amount of cash for a big group. Or is a p*ss-up worth 4 tents x 4 people = £160 worth of deposit?
Edit: I'm sitting here thinking that in fact this is all so sad, really, that such a measure should be felt necessary at all. As I keep saying if you book into a campsite then you agree to keep to their rules. It's implicit in the contract, surely. I'm certain it's only a small minority that thinks and behaves otherwise but of course that's the way things go. It's people who the Americans call "The Entitled" who spoil things for everyone else.
Gordon Bennett - a noise deposit!? That's unbelievable! Camping seems to going more and more the way of the officious world, with infuriating rules and carefully allotted pleasure! How many decibels, exactly, do you get for a tenner? You should ask the site owner for a £100 deposit in case you trip over a sod on their field or bang your head on the airing-cupboard! Johnny
have i got this straight?? a single camper was asked for the noise deposit, but the rest of the group wasn't? And some one esle said another site puts single campers in seperate field and charges for a similar scheme?
Surely single campers are the least likely to be noisey aren't they? I mean who are they gonna talk to late at night themselves????

Campers do it in the mud!
Hubby says we can
"Surely single campers are the least likely to be noisey aren't they? I mean who are they gonna talk to late at night themselves????"
Maybe it's because they would have to shout to each other across the field!
Single campers in a field together, sounds better than speed dating! do they mean "single sex groups" rather than actual lone persons?
I do think big groups should have a good behaviour deposit- the ones who are responsible and quiet get it back, the ones who start the touch rugby at 4am loose it AND get kicked off the site.
So whats to stop them 'saying' you caused excess noise when you didnt?
and..
'The person that reported the noise had left the camp before you went to get your deposit'.
Its a scam and nothing more.
Its one thing to complain about a drunken party but after reading some of the 'noise' threads on here some people will complain about a fart after 10pm
But if it was up to the securty guards surely the most that they need to report is that there was excessive noise from the campers in the tent on pitch such and such - rather than a detail report on the whole camp.
Just a thought about the report:- Child crying in the Vango on pitch 10 (bit like the old chalet patrols in Buitlin where a notice used to flash in the theatres - Child crying in Chalet 10) Had a word with the group on ptich such and such to lower it - not problems after that, Couple in the Coleman at ii for most of he night again Feel sorry for the chap in the Outwell - he obviously hasn't had it this week.

ROFLOL !!! Thats a sentence I have always thought of writing but just never did, it really sums it up .....
Apologies to all those who do have problems with noise but when you read some of the posts I do wonder....
We stayed on the site next to Parkfoot last year, and were advised by a local that we were lucky in our site choise, as Parkfoot was a very noisy roudy site. In fact we could hear some noise even though we were a couple of fields away. At least they appear to be trying to solve the problem, if a bit clumsily.
------------- Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
