Camping etiquette

Can anyone please tell me some camping etiquette that I'm unaware of? I know that you shouldn't use bubble wands, but that's about all. Is there anything about tent spacing and direction that I should know. Thanks!

Just be considerate and be aware that there are lots of people in a relatively small area in non-soundproofed accomodations.
Keep children and dogs quiet: don t go off for the day and leave your dog yapping in your tent.
Respect others’ privacy.
Be friendly, greet neighbours.

Clean up after yourself.
After drinking a bottle of wine in front of your tent at night, go easy in the giggling, singing and shouting.
Be helpful, when you see someone struggling with their camping equipment.
When there are things that annoy you, talk to the culprit gently.....
Foolproof!!!! Enjoy your holidays.

Just be aware of where your children are and what they are doing.

One of the lovely things about camping is that the children make friends and get to run round, play and have some freedom. However, running across other people's pitches isn't ok, nor is messing around in the toilet block or kicking balls across the site when there is a field next door.

Equally, if it's a campsite where it's quiet after 10pm then 9:58pm isn't the time to start trying to gather up small children and get them showered and into bed (with very dramatic shushes and whispers).

Teach your kids not to play manhunt around other people's tents and especially not to try out their high jump skills over my stove complete with boiling hot chocolate 😱

Also, nobody wants to hear your amateur version of Kumbaya on the ukulele that you got for Christmas.
