nice campsites - not Nissan Navaras and Sports Direct?
Discussion
Tonker, can you do me a favour?
Once he is better can you take him here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-4741826/...
Just want to check it is all safe, before risking mine

We've just been on our first family camping trip and suffered the exact same thing as the OP.
A very large family (impossible to say just how many) with 5 pitches. 4 of them in a square which by the end of the week looked like the Calais jungle. The other was away from the other 4 and seemed to be where the kids slept. One of the kids , a very young child cried almost constantly day and night with different women taking it in turns to look after.
This lot simply didn't give a f
k about anyone else on the site. The kids were feral, the men did nothing but sit and drink whilst the women did everything. Including put the tents up and take them down. They even watched as other campers helped the women pack away.
The amusing part was when on of the women commented about how quickly I had packed our tent away on my own (Airframe tent) to which Jim Royal replied. "Yes, but thats one of them tents for poofters". I did chuckle and wink at him.
After this experience the wife is reluctant to go camping again. I think we need to find somewhere that doesn't allow anyone who wears matching 2 piece tracksuits when not doing sports. Or wears these trainers

We stayed at Gundry's Farm at Three Legged Cross nr Wimbourne last weekend.
It is billed as family friendly, but there is not a lot to actually do on site for kids, so I think this kept the feral chav count down. It was actually rather pleasant as a site, nice facilities and friendly staff.
However, despite a 'no large groups' policy there was one group of middle-classers (all Audi S7's and Merc C Classes) camped around a huge gazebo set-up. They got quite noisy on their last night, we were just about out of earshot but I can imagine a tad annoying if you were camped right next to them. One of those things that comes with the territory, I guess.
Far worse was this couple in a trailer tent next to us. He was mid-30's massively overweight with moobs and a back as hairy as a gorilla, he insisted on spending the entire weekend shirtless, even though it wasn't that hot. Not a pleasant sight to see. When he wasn't strutting around like a gorilla in search of some bamboo the two of them were playing fking Yahtzee non-stop, once for four hours solid! A constant rattle of dice on a laminated table .... I wanted to lamp the oaf with our caravan wheelbrace! Oh, and some very loud northern lesbian women whose gobs would seemingly only operate when turned up to 11. So yeah, it was great!

These are the worst sort. I was camped next to a group like that last year, one guy kept on talking about his bloody car all evening, it was only a 6 series, a 640d I think, hardly a supercar, but he must have come over and tried to chat to me 3 or 4 times about it. "Hot today isn't it, I've been keeping the milk in the chilled glovebox" and stuff like that. His wife literally sat and looked at her phone all day, bored. Then the evening came and out came the boxes of bottles, big barbecue and everything, trying to be the most alpha on the campsite as if "we can afford it so we should be allowed". They just looked like David Brents in a "Who can be most like David Brent?" competition. My mrs wanted an excuse to punch one of them, being a very council Welsh fighting girl. 
I'd be happy with a fat Yahtzee playing couple, at least they're not going to be sinking 8 pints of Strongbow and F-ing and blinding with "bantah" every 5 seconds.

You swine, spilt some red after laughing at that!Mr Peel said:
Similar scenes to the above on a site near Weymouth last week. The highlights included a sweary, late-night row between a drunken couple that was overheard by my kids. Stay classy...
It wasn't Eweleaze was it? We've been going there for the last 5 years and it's getting worse 
Lowlight this year was a family who left their car running all day to keep their 12v coolbox cold, highlight would be the angriest wife I've ever seen (not mine!) who seemed to blame all of the worlds issues on her husband.badgerade said:

Anyone know it, and if so any suggestions/recommendations?
TIA
