You don't have hear some funny things on campsites but for some reason this one has been making me smile everytime I think of it

Overheard from the adjacent pitch when they were packing up to go home

"Who though it a good idea to pack the biscuits next too the do ?"

I got the feeling that the dog was helping wiith his own packing.

My favourite, overheard while walking past a tent on the way back from a late night shower, is :

"Darling, I'm teetering on the brink of infinity!"

This summer my daughter fell into uncontrollable laughter after going to bed, that starting the rest of the family going, and, before we knew it, all the surrounding tents had joined in. Great camping camaraderie !

The funniest thing we heard (appologise in advance for lowering the tone) was a oldish couple putting the tent up and the lady said the man is it in yet. They were on about the ring and pin system. Their two teenage grandkids made it funny by laughing out loud and telling their nana to stop being so rude and to take it inside the tent.

Heard this a few years ago from the people in the caravan next door to their child of about 6 who was playing up......

'if you don't behave we won't let you stay up to watch casualty'......

Ours would have played up more so the didn't HAVE to watch it!

It became a standing joke with our kids we still say it now and thay are grown up.

We were attemping to put up our FC awning ( a large one) for the first time on a campsite and my mil asked near by campers if they wanted to come and watch something funny, (they were in a motorhome themselves and very smug about their windout awning)   Hubby got his own back by saying that his mum was about to start pole dancing  so yes very funny.  (she was holding up an awning pole at the time!

Not what I have heard but what I have seen...

Some bloke meticulously put out some solar powered lights around his pitch, only to reverse out later and drive over one....

Twenty years ago tenting in Cornwall.
We went to bed as soon as darkness fell and didn't see the young couple turn up and pitch next to us.
When we could hear that he was obviously pumping up their airbed she says to him " is it hard yet? "
Every camper within a hundred yards started howling with laughter.

Strange. Next morning they had gone.

Towards the end of last summer I heard a scraping sound coming from across the site. On looking out of the window I could see a car dragging a caravan towards the service road with the rear steadies of the 'van still wound down. The man was driving and the lady was standing there with a puzzled look on her face. I can't repeat what was said between them but I would not have wanted to be in the car with them on the way home!

I overheard a conversation a few years back when two couples were talking about the risk of fire when one commented saying that in their local paper, a football field changing rooms had recently gone up in flames. She continued....."The Police think it might be Arsenal" !!
