Hi to all off for our first camping weekend wife two litte poodles and me really looking forward to it as well. You all seem a really nice lot I have been hovering over this site for a good year.

                     I read on one of the camp site searches that some one had something stolen from there tent. I thought that would not happen some sort of campers code of practice. Does this happen regular and should we take any precautions I had not given it a thought please advise.

It's awful to think that fellow campers would steal from another.  But I would say to keep anything valuable either on you (in a rucksack) or concealed and covered in the car perhaps.

Good luck - enjoy your trip

We had something stolen a few years ago and although it wasn't an expensive item, it upset my daughter as it was personal to her.  We are off to Clumber Park this weekend which has a reputation for having bikes stolen - there are lots of messages on here about it.  We should be ok as we aren't taking bikes but have been advised to chain up things like waste master & aqua roll.  It takes the enjoyment out of camping but in todays society, that's the way things are. Sad but true.

Thank you to all some good common sense advise I still would like to think campers are genuine great people we have booked in at Cayton Bay Scarborough really looking forward to our first outing. We are on the camping field?

Let you know how we went on Ranger6

Very naughty i know but we have left the kids ds's and tv in our tent and gone out for a couple of hours and came back and they were still there. 

Now we have a 'van we worry even less lol
