confession time!!! me too! went round our local campsite the other night during torrential rain, that I am going to for a girlie weekend in September to check for flooded pitches!!!! Don't want to be in the same boat, so to speak!!!
We go for a nosey at sites where we plan to possibly camp in the future. Have visited a few sites in Cornwall whilst camping down there, and recently spent a whole day checking out around 6 or 7 prospective campsites in mid wales before booking Rhandirmwyn for Bank Holiday.
It does look a bit pervy though pulling into a campsite and immediately inspecting the toilets and showers.

Ooops, I thought at first glance this thread was about a fulfilled romance - "My new hubby!"
I must confess, if I am passing a campsite and I'm not in a hurry I often stop for a look, especially when I'm in the west country.
I don't usually bother looking at the tents, interesting though that can be, but I take in things like the general atmosphere, the tidiness, the layout of the ptiches, whether or not the showers/toilets look clean, and all the other things one values in a campsite.
If there are staff members about I always introduce myself, have a chat and ask for a brochure or a card.
Since discovering ukcampsites I know I can follow up by reading reviews of the sites I have looked at.
Holds hands up....\0/...guilty...I like to have a look around, especially if it's a local site and can stop by and have a chat with the owners/wardens.
moonmummy there is nothing sad about it it's a weekend ritual in our house, affectionately known to us a 'tentstalk' we are very excited about the tent stalk this weekend cos its bank holiday weekends and there will be loads of tents we hope
------------- A tent is like a newborn born baby..... to some they all look the same..... but if its yours it's beautiful.
