The wording on a CL site that used to welcome children.. :Sad:
I asked the owners why .. this is what they said..
Bad behaviour, adults allowing kids to run amok .. disturbing other campers, throwing stones, toilet paper pulled out and stuffed in pan.. ..
Is it any wonder kids and being made less welcome and why many sites / CLs are now 'adults only' ? This not only saddens but angers me, the few spoiling it for the many ..
I have been camping, caravanning and motorhoming with kids since the early 70s.. we would never allow ours to annoy others or break site rules.. yet we are penalised.. but when Chaz leaves the nest we too will probably seek out and use 'adult only' sites... a sad reflection on 'our times' ..
This is not a rant about children, how could it be, having brought up six and enjoyed every day with them.. It's a rant against the adults who trundle onto a site, turn their kids loose and expect them to make their own fun and ignore the trouble they cause others. :Angry:
Kids love camping .. but they can't be left to their own devices.. the devil finds work for idle hands..
