Campsite etiquette (1 Viewer)

I just spent an average of £20 a night to stay in this country so for 10 nights it cost the same as A return tunnel fair. I spent all of June and July 8 weeks in France and Germany and I spent a total of £210 on sites and aires. Add to that the cost of the crossing and I'm afraid this country loses out badly.

I spend an average of £10 a night to stay in this country, plus I don't have to travel 600 miles in a mad frantic dash to get to a tunnel under the channel, and back. If you add to that the price of the crossing, and the fuel, then I'm afraid that Le Continent just loses out badly.

I don't know why you presume its a mad frantic dash to get to the tunnel. For us its a leisurely 200 miles broken up by an overnight stay half way with relatives. On your £10 average per night , our two months stay(60 nights) on "Le Continent" would cost £600 plus fuel as opposed to our total of £210 plus fuel.

If what you do works for you that's your choice. What do works for us

Dover-Dunkirk £32 last Thursday night if booked on Tuesday charge for dog to leave. . Tunnel £97 +£17 for the dog??

Doesn't just happen on campsites, our neighbour blocks her and our wheelly bins with her car and I couldn't figure out how she always managed to get her bin out without moving her car. Then one afternoon I caught her taking the chain across our front garden down and wheeling her bin across our flower bed, I was so flabbergasted she had gone inside before I could say anything. She couldn't see what she was doing wrong, when I knocked on her door to ask her to move her car she just told me to do what she did and wheel it across the garden.

That's why there's no hope with large amounts of morons about.

I would imagine the reason is, as already put forward, is 'Health & Safety', also have you tried cleaning the bathroom when someone wants to use it?

The last time we stayed at a c&cc site, the closed both sets of loos while one cleaner went into the mens and another into the females. It took them about 45 mins to clean them and there were several peeps waiting with crossed legs outside while they worked. The warden struggled with my suggestion that they closed one set of loos at a time and both cleaners worked on the closed set, so reducing the time that the loos were out of action. It seems like muppets are running many sites

Can you let me know how to get a non male variant human to use the toilet block. Aqua chem sales will plummet and I will get balanced shoulders if this can be achieved.

A less violent alternative to my earlier machine gun pit solution:

The portable privet hedge.

Maybe if you'll let me use your loo after a heavy night I'll be able to encourage her to use the loo block - but I'm not sure for how long...

Was on a site the other day that had a prominent notice saying "all pitches to be vacated by 12 noon" They then closed the toilets for cleaning from 11:00 am. Thought it would have made more sense to close the toilets from noon too as most folks would have left by then and it would free up staff to deal with departures in the run up to 12 o'clock
