What do you do after the kids have gone bedon a campsite?

What do other people do after their kids are in bed?
We are getting bored of card games and reading and wondering what other people get up to

On our last camping holiday, at around 8pm, we made tea/hot choc and walked through the woods and found deer & bunnys. This was at Cliff House in Suffolk.

We are off to Dorset this time so I expect to open the wine very bloody early.

nappyzone where do you go in cotswold area?

also, whomoved, where are your sites?

I'm not being stalkerish, honest! My parents have been asking for sites nearish us where we can go stay with them! (we're in witney)

Ah I'm in North Oxfordshire Jareth - so no good for Witney. However Bo Peeps in Adderbury is v good, stayed there before I moved here and there is a really good one on the big roundabout by Woodstock.

ooooh whomoved i am home as of an hr ago and cant beleive i missed out on cake . We stayed at cotswold view in charlbury on the way down (we have been to the isle of wight for the week) - cotswold view was a lovely site right in the middles of all the nice places and i wished we had booked in for way back but it was fully booked, on the way back we stayed at greenhill leisure park which was on the outer edge of cotswolds i would say and not a leisure park as you would expect so dont be put off but actually a really nice family site with free ranging chickens and play areas etc - both sites i would recommend for top bog cleanliness but location wise the cotswold view one was top - tuther had a train track nearby which ran all night and on first night i heard it a fair bit but last night i slept like the dead

Jareth we didnt really visit many places as were more of a stop off to break our journey up - we went to bourton on the water as it was mega sunny yesterday and lolled round there round the river and racing ducks mellarky going on - lots of japenese tourists in bourton with face masks on - whomoved is there a plague in the cotswolds i should have been warned about??

Ah I love bourton on the water it's gorgeous. I've just bought a family tent used it once for cancer research relay for life so I didn't get a lot of use out of it. But I can't wait to go. Trawling all camping threads making note of all good campsites.

Before dc we would sit around drink and read books before bit of nookie!

as well as wine and stars and sex and music and read also listen to plays/dramas recorded from bbc onto ipod, also have been known to crochet!

If you were at the Beuvelande campsite on Jersey with me last week you might have kept your exhausted toddlers up till 11.30pm, then allowed them to collapse into bed cos that's the time the Bingo/Karaoke finished up at the bar, then had them wake up again when your teenagers finally stopped screaming and shouting up in the kids playground at midnight and finally fell into their beds....

...Then you might have dragged your chairs outside, 3 feet away from other people's tents and sleeping DCs and cracked open a case of Fosters.

But being MNetters I am sure none would be so bleddy inconsiderate!

gawd thats awful - i holidayed in jersey and considered camping there this year but it was working out to expensive - i expected it would be uber organised, warde controlled and full of considerate persons. There truly is nothing worse than inconciderate campers.

I have to admit I had hoped it'd be 'selection by cost' (£800 inc Poole ferry + car) but I now realise we were with the 'can't afford Torremolinos this year' brigade who were looking for a cheap holiday bed, not a camping experience.....

drink wine and talk. keeps us going for 2 weeks.
