Camping Ettiquette

I’m camping this weekend, two tents, two children, two dogs.

This is the first time we’ve each brought our dogs and searched for a long time and through lots of reviews until we found this place... spoke to the owner who said he only takes a certain amount of bookings to make sure you’re all a bit seperate and no one bothers anyone else.

Last night it was amazing... it’s almost like you’re camping totally alone. I can see a group of tents in the distance and the top of another through the trees but it does feel very secluded.

When we arrived the owner was at the gate and told us to drive and find an empty space. I assume he says this to everyone..

Today a new family arrive, and park and pitch up right next to us. And I mean Right next to us. Some of their ropes even cross over with my friends tent. Their table and chairs are right in the siteline of ours, I can even hear their drink open!

To make it worse, their kids seem terrified of dogs. Our dogs aren’t on leads and have been running around ‘our camp’ really happy. Now we’ve had to get the crate out.

AIBU? I’m kind of pissed off. I wish I’d brought hungry hippos or some really loud scream inducing game but unfortunately playing cards and magiclip dolls are all I have..!

It's probably crashed due to high demand!

Hilarious thread, I got annoyed for you just reading it.

I think the British are particularly sensitive to the invasion of personal space, I know I am. I remember on a holiday once they had a breakfast area with loads of seats indoors and a range of tables on the terrace (which were more popular). One morning, despite plenty of room inside a German guy just plonked his food down on our small two person table on the terrace and pulled up a seat whilst we were eating. We sat there open mouthed. My DH went to complain to a waiter and he was promptly moved.

Just why??
