Can someone help me find the thread where a family stalked another at a holiday park?

I was talking to my husband about an old thread I read maybe a year ago now about a family that spent some time at a holiday park. They were staying in mobile caravans or chalets and another family arrived a few days later. They were friendly at first, if I recall, and then the kids kept knocking and it started to become overbearing, the adults wanting to know what they were going to do next or what their next excursion might be to tag along and they showed signs of being strange and stalker-ish. I think they even knocked at 2 in the morning at one point (but that might be my imagination). In the end they asked the campsite manager to secretly move them to another property on the site - asking him not to tell the family a thing (they knew they weren't due to leave for home at that point). They packed really early in the morning before they woke up and were reallocated another place on the park. The campsite manager told them later that the family asked after them and demanded where they'd gone. Can anyone remember this?

It was like that Robin Williams film RV

I’m pretty sure they relocated to a completely different park in the same chain. Was a great thread.

Ok... I am officially a genius!

I love the holiday drama threads, my favourite was the one where a MNer reading the thread was in the same awful hotel and they met up and had drinks, think there was even a photo. Anyone recall that one?! Would love to know if they're still in touch!

SaturnBelt · 20/08/2018 23:11

Ha! No..we are on holiday though and we got talking about latchers and it reminded me...! The knocking on the window of their son's room in the night...frightening!!!

I loved that one, @alphajuliet123! So funny when they realised they were in the same place.

Love this, currently on a charming ‘static caravan’ site in Scotland, I’ve bought the average age down a few decades, I think the owner is sleeping with cleaner (not his wife) and the couple next door (permanent residents) have invited us to join them in their hot tub. Twice. No hangers on tho, unless you count creepy hot tubbers.

Filzma · 20/08/2018 23:44

This could easily have been adapted into a horror movie. Obviously the ending wouldn't be the same.

How relentless were they though? OMG.

We owned a caravan in hemsby along time ago back when I was 11, I used to go there with grandparents for 3 weeks Every summer till I was 15. there was a girl whose grandma lived there for the whole summer so she was always there the same time as me. For the first few years I thought it was good, I had a friend jusT spent a lot of time with her but she wasn’t allowed as much free reign as me and my brother so we managed to escape her. One summer on the other side of us a new family had brought a caravan, nice boy my age and a girl my bros age. We got on really well. I remember we were playing in the parks play area and the other girl came along and started picking a fight with the new kids because we were playing. I ended up having an argument with her and she went running back to her gran, don’t know what story she fed her but she didn’t bother us again except from the glares across the park 😂

@AdoraBell I do love a genius 👑!

Urbanbeetler · 21/08/2018 08:56

I love the typo on that stalking thread!

We are in an Arab state for we are in a caravan!!

Not quite the same thing Grin

CakeNinja · 21/08/2018 12:11

Did no one else just read that other thread and think it sounded totally fake?
Vaguely entertaining perhaps but not true at all?!

MrMeSeeks · 21/08/2018 12:43

That was entertaining.
Though now im scared to go to a caravan site...
