campsite turns away mothers (this'll get you all going!!)

Oh god, I'm going camping tomorrow with 2 friends - all women, no husbands, 8 children! Let's hope they don't turn us away. Not going there, though,

Tell them you'll tell the MN campers and we'll deal with them!!!

is the owner of that campsite a few sausages short of barbecue or what? just ban single sex groups without children. It's not exactly rocket science is it? I wonder if any of the kids were boys.

mmm...
Tough rule...but i can sort of see how they had to stick with it...and most sites list the rules.

I think hat does have the solution - no single sex groups without children. I can see the sense of no single sex groups of childless young rowdy folks though

would a single parent with children be turned away then...

No, because a single parent wouldn't be classed as a group. I assume that if all the women had booked in independently there wouldn't have been a problem?

Me and my friends got stuck once on a holiday for a similar reason. They wouldn't except mixed sex groups of youths. Right I can understand not wanting a group like that on a family site. What I can't understand is that they didn't mention it when we specifically informed them that we were a mixed sex group of teenagers. SO we get on holiday and have no where to stay. We did eventually find somewhere, but it makes me wonder if the same thing happened to these women.

IF it was a private campsite surely it is up to them to allow who they want in or not and are therefore able to change these 'rules' whenever they want or to apply them how they want? It just seems a bit nonesensical.
