if you like a quiet campsite try this place - but we warned...

They really do take the no excessive chattering rule seriously.

I don't do big campsites, so I kind of agree with the quiet site idea, but if we ever stayed there, I'd be terrified that ds might wake up at night, requiring us to find new accommodation in the morning!

Still, whilst a bit rude way to state their rules, I guess it's hard to enforce quietness - at least here they're (very clearly!) open about it from the start.

Maybe it's popular with OAP's or people who don't have / want children around?

Bibbity, bad/cold weather in this country and you might be glad to be tucked up in your sleeping bag at 10.30

Don't think DH and 9y DD would have coped there after last's nights camping trip! It was DD's school Dads and Daughters camp. There were 57 of them in total. DH called me at 10:30pm (ish) and the girls were still running wild playing whilst the dads were trying to dry off and get warm round a camp fire!

Yes, well, I've been camping a few times (July only mind!) and I'm sorry but I do think complete and utter silence after 10.30pm is utterly draconian. I have absolutely no interest in camping in huge places where there is a bar and evening entertainment, but what about having a convivial game of cards in your tent with your mates? I would be far more annoyed at being woken up at 6am by shrieking little children ...

Perhaps there should be family sites for those with older children only .

Sounds like heaven. So many campsites are spoilt by others who think that it's an extension of being at their own homes and talking at the top of their voices until 3am, getting drunk.

Some of these sites are for famillies and they still carry on doing the above!
I want to go to that campsite now

No talking and no games.

I guess the sound of dice rattling while playing Ludo would ruin the peace.

They are on prime surfer location and in the summer suffer from groups of teens who want to party all night. My bro lives down the road so I know the area. Good for them, making it clear what type of clientele they want. Campsite owners around that area all have nightmare stories to tell of loosing masses of trade due to a couple of noisy groups.

Is there not a middle way between groups of loud teens and people who need to be able to speak after 10.30pm?

well yes, i think most of the sites i go to seem to find it...the new forest ones all seem to have people awake but not making a racket...

me & Dh usually sit outside so as not to disturb the children, drinking and playing computer games. An, sadly, yes...thechildren do wake up early. and not quietly.

bit like most caravanning & camping club sites...they don't seem to attract super-rowdy groups, but don't feel the need to crack the whip either...

Most sites seem to manage it OK without sounding like that.

French sites are the best - activity till late, with the weather to suit, and quiet till later in the morning

It was looking great until I saw the price for dogs - £4 per dog per night? Bloody hell.
