pitches quite far apart & partially screened (only partially as we all need to nosey out)
no TVs, radios, etc
showers where you can rinse out the cubicle with the hose
campfires allowed
Wardens on patrol, enforcing noise curfews IN THE MORNING (sorry to shout ) as we don't want to hear your daughter's dance routine or your son's Nintendo at 7.30am thanks very much.
Ideally to be the only one there, but if I 'have' to share then lots and lots of space between pitches, grass kept long with just mown paths with lots of shelter. Prefer flat pitches
Clean and plentiful loos and warm showers.
PEACE!
Thats all really!
Definitely don't want: caravans, noise, clubs, ehu, playparks, close neighbours,
After reading all the replies makes me wonder why you lot took up camping in the first place Surely camping is all about the camaraderie,cramped pitches,noisey neighbours,children running amok everywhere, people walking across your pitch,tripping over other peoples guy ropes,queuing to use dirty toilets/showers,smokey bbq's etc Camping just wouldnt be the same if you took all this away

Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

My perfect site wouldn't be an official site at all but just a beautiful spot in the countryside where I could pitch my tent, light a fire and enjoy the views and the isolation. It would be handy if there were toilet/shower facilities somewhere nearby too, although then it would become a site I suppose. Does that sound very antisocial and selfish?
My perfect site is within walking distance of a town or village, and/or river or sea.
Flat pitches with short grass. Clean and tidy site.
Separate clean facilities for men and women, washbasins in cubicles, constant hot water with taps to turn on and off yourself. Washing up under cover with hot water.
EHU
Nothing else required.
Friendly staff,
no main road nearby,
nice views,
low density of pitchs so everyone can spread out,
EHU for caravans and tents,
shooting (with silencer) of anyone who uses a generator despite EHU available (yes I've seen it happen),
campfires allowed,
dogs allowed,
nice modern heated showers and toilets,
Enforced noise curfew. No noise between 10pm and 9am,
Adults only area,
A barrier to stop a*****les turning up in the middle of the night or going in and out,
small shop on site but no club.

Lovely views
Peace and Quiet to listen to nature.
Modern Toilets (not portaloos) dotted around - so no long walk in the cold dark when your dying to go.
A separate area for groups - so others are not disturbed.
No dogs allowed
Campfires allowed
Parents who can control their kids, especially at 6/7am in the morning
and an ice cream van can come round at 2pm on very sunny days
I'm with Scarletsfan and Tiggarsmum, it's all about the view and the setting.....mountains and/or sea/river/lake/stream/puddle?!...don't mind what the facilities are like ( within reason!). Preferably not too big a site and natural looking to blend in with it's surroundings if that makes sense.
One thing I love are car free sites.....gives a totally different feel to a site.
.....and Tiggarsmum, I know where you're referring to....it's perfect but oh so far from me!!!
I like the sound of a car free site, although I would like the ability to drive in and drop off stuff before leaving the car outside the campsite.
I'd say a warden onsite is pretty important to me, but that's only because of bad experiences and in my 'fantasy campsite' there would only be mindful, cheerful campers, not the idiots I've been meeting on occasion.
I'd like space between pitches, preferably like many french campsites where you have low hedges between pitches. I'd like to rent the pitch, the whole pitch - and for it not to matter if I put one big tent or a couple of small dome tents and a tarp. I'd like the price to be for the whole pitch, not for individual people and/or dogs or utility tents.
I'd like a regularly cleaned shower block and loos and I particularly like the sites (many in Ireland) where they have communal campers kitchens and sometimes sitting rooms. Mannix Point in the South of Ireland has a turf fire in their sitting room, musical instruments hanging on the wall, and more often than not a spontaneous music session just breaks out, everyone taking a turn if they feel like it. In fact Mannix Point would probably encompass everything that's perfect about a site, you can tell it's run by and experienced camper. Pity it's so far from me!
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.
