Believe me, when neighbours like ours don't give a damn what their children are doing in the garden, ie screaming in a high pitched scream from 3.30 until dark, day in day out, they sure as heck don't care what they do on holiday.
Society has forgotten to think about others, the ME ME ME mentality has destroyed that.

I am not a fan of ball games or bikes being ridden round sites. We recently stayed at a site in Derbyshire and a group of young men, not children, decided to have a kickabout. They weren't content just to pass the ball to each other, they were really going for it, kicking it with all their strength. The ball hit the side of a caravan and I am certain that if it had hit a window it would have smashed it. Maybe nobody would have got hurt but it sure would have spoilt the owners holiday.
I know some people don't like rules but I don't have a problem with them so long as they are sensible ones and they are enforced by the owners. Unfortunately, if one person breaks the rule then others will follow & it can spoil everyones enjoyment.
Agree with the comments re parents not supervising maids and teaching them respect for other people. We are on our last day of wonderful break in Scotland. Campsite lovely but as expected was extremely busy over jubilee weekend. Tents & vans mixed over the area. The only negative in our holiday was kids who continually ran around our van & car, at one point even crawling below vans whilst playing hide & seek. Parents all turned a blind eye. My husband almost lost it with one kid who thought it fun to poke my dogs with his fishing rod. Again parents just ignored it. It's a catch 22 situation, speak to the parents you risk getting abuse & atmosphere for rest of holiday, speak to the kids then you get shouted at by rude kids and even worse parents. We have had our dogs hit by kids, balls smacked against van & awning and, on one site kids actually coming up and lifting my dogs onto their baskets on their bikes so that they can wheel them around! Whilst my dogs are well behaved and have been taught not to growl, bark etc we now find ourselves telling children to stay away from them just in case something happens as I'm sure it would never be the child's fault according to the parents. Ps I don't have big digs, I have 3 small west highland terriers who adore being away in their van.
