Don't go to a busy out of town campsite if you don't want a football in the side of your van or a small child plus bike crashing into your parked car. grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Dented caravan?, scratched car? ...oh, hang on, it wasn't done on purpose - so that's OK, then.
Whoopee! - another 'Kids From Hell' thread is looming
I'm with Homer Simpson - 'children are our future - unless we stop them'
------------- 'If it ain't broke, don't worry - it soon will be'
that other caravanners are a really friendly bunch , but some parents can be too trusting! we have a friendly 23 month old who got himself a friend of 3.5 who attached herself to us all weekend, and the parents were nowhere to be seen for hours on end!
to stay at home on bank holidays, you dont get a knackered clutch, sunburn, damaged cars or vans, extra kids or screaming ones and you dont have to go fishing. And, oh yeah its cheaper
I think from most of your responses, I'd say that hard-standing and completely flat, adults only parks are the places to go, especially on bank holidays!!
We went to New England Bay and were astonished at several polite children!! They're usually referred to as "childerbeasts" in our household and I'm known for having a definite allergy to them but some that we met were actually human and I didn't feel the need to run and hide from them! They did the kind of things we were brought up to do - hold the washroom door for the person behind you, say "thank you" when someone else does the same, not drop litter - nothing world-shattering but it's all so rarely seen these days.
BTW, I am only 38 so please don't think I was brought up in Victorian times or anything like that - I'm a child of the seventies but I was still brought up with manners and to respect my elders.

I learn't that you can tow a caravan without wheel's, this one:
(we were moving it from were it has rested for the last 6 year's with a timber clad frame around it to the other side of the site were we can "prepare it for recycling")
to ignore the 'one way' sign making us reverse up a gravel hill (with LARGE gravel - useless for grip)with our twin axle fleetwood and go the 'wrong way' instead and reverse down the hill. Hot clutch smells baaaad.
Don't forget the pushchair when you have a 1yo and if possible get a degree in electrics as our waterpump socket refused to work anything more than intermittently and the lights on the van would only work on one side on our journey home . Despite that we've had a lovely 3 nights away!!!
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.
