You’ve worked out the perfect spot, set up, and are just settling down with a cold drink when THAT fellow camper comes and sets up next you.

Which fellow campers make your heart sink?

(in the spirit of today’s threads about other people being anti social or just not what you want on beaches , in restaurants etc etc)
(on the whole I find camping folk lovely)

Me: An enthusiastic parent producing a bubble machine / bubble wands / vats of bubble detergent that will burst all over my canvas tent wrecking the whatchamacallit properties of the cotton canvas and destroy the waterproofing.

People who set up an entire living room outside their tent or van, complete with TV or projector and giant screen, and a massive speaker. Or the ones who haven't explained personal space and boundaries to their children. Or the ones who don't understand boundaries and personal space themselves (including, but not limited to, setting up so close they're within touching distance). Ones with dogs who bark non-stop without any attempt at intervention.

I'm quite anti-social, really 😂

The route to the toilets on my favourite campsite on Dartmoor is through a hole in the hedge in the corner of the field, climbing rocks across a stream, across a railway sleeper laid across a bog and up a hill. This route is not signed in any way.

Woe betide any newcomers who set up their wanky stockade in that corner 😆

It was not......planned. It simply evolved. Farm buildings with utilities are up here, nearest fields with any degree of flatness whatsoever are either down there↘️ or up there ↗️
