Living in fear - Standard Campsite General Banter

[Printertosh]

I'm hoping the following things don't happen to me on my "standard" campsite:

Flooding of biblical proportions
Chavs moving in next door with hard house system
Robbed everytime I step one foot from my pitch
Dysentery from unclean toilets
Herpes from the cold showers
Run down by scooter tw*t
Set yourself on fire
Fireworks launched at our camp
Killed in the Great Sunday Night Fire
Warm lager
Starvation
Frozen to death
Spoken to by anyone with a non English accent

Having gone 9 out of the last 10 years and stayed in Blue Nord, Beausejour, Houx Annexe and Tertre Rouge 'standard' campsites I should count myself lucky to be still going this year I guess?


Please feel free to add any other things that I must watch out for on my 'Standard' pitch!

I'm noticing a common theme with your posts RS200, save up an move in with the "other half" next year, you know it makes sense

I've taken a couple off your list, so a few less things to worry about.

The last few years, the toilets have been kept very clean, or they were on BSJ anyway, the showers were heated, with a combi boiler installed per every two showers, Go Peds and the like are banned this year unless road registered and fireworks have been banned for the last few years

Unfortunately, there will always be thieves at Le mans (worse because I'm sure campsite "security" are in on the whole deal)and as for warm beer - well that's your own fault for not having a fridge!!

Stay on SpeedChills Private camping, most of the list gone! Flooding can happen anywhere Le Mans is flat! (Expect Houx Annexe, Tetre Rouge etc)

I'm certainly keeping fingers crossed for clean toilet blocks... since we've been allocated spaces right near the bogs on Houx this year... could be whiffy...

Nah, being a Southern Softie, I like the electric hook-ups for my toaster, TV, microwave and fridge

Food poisoning

From the following
Uncooked sausages and burgers from the BBQ
Salmonella from under cooked eggs in the frying pan
eating those merguez sausages specially the red ones

There was a motorhome next to us 2 years ago in the PH site, they like us had their own silent genny.

Was it this ?



Would love one but a bit pricey at £1100 for the 20i.

I'm looking forward to my merguez sausages, never caused me to resort to using my socks yet...

Never had a problem, but this year I'm taking one of these to leave in the tent when I'm out:

The private campsites better hope it doesn't rain too much then! Lucky for us we camp on the hill at Tertre Rouge so only flooding comes from being downstream from the showers if they go wrong and the year that happened it only effected a couple of pitches that we make sure we avoid. Plus the tracks are sandy at our end so no sinking in mud when we leave.

Got 2 table top freezers so no warm beer for us

Plus fridge, freezer, sink, hobs, oven, grill, toilet, shower etc in motorhome so hopefully we'll survive the 'standard' campsite.

Flooding you say? We always camp right next to the viewing area at BSJ. Never had any flooding problems so far touch wood...

Monday morning at about 11.30am (we overslept massively) we were greeted by some lovely local folk wondering if our gazebo was 'treasure'. I can only assume they were looking for scrap metal, either way be careful of the treasure hunting locals.
