Is it time to extend the quiet period to 8 am?

No

I'm a late riser too but I honestly don't think 7am can be considered unduly early for folk to be up and about. When we share campsites in close proximity to others, we're bound to meet a variety of people with different ways. It's part of the joy of the hobby.

At the other end of the scale we've had people objecting to others talking in their awnings at 9pm. 

You can't please all of the people.......

Just think whilst you can lie in bed and enjoy your holiday someone else has to get up and end theirs or move on. Roll over and enjoy the moment. 🏝

We can sleep through almost anything. We've often woken up and looked out at empty pitches next to us, that were occupied when we went to bed.

I don't think enforced silence is possible, or desirable, on a campsite (at either end of the day).

Is there actually a set 'quiet period' on CAMC sites? The rules don't actually state any set times, apart from running generators they just state to be considerate to others and after 10pm.

We get up to suit our day, sometimes (very) early sometimes not.

Back to the OP, what is quiet? And no as there is no need in my experience.

Would it be too much to ask for the quiet period to extend on site to 8am,.

Yes, it is too much to ask. 7am is not very early especially if you have a long drive home ahead of you.

The other week that is exactly what I did when woken up at about 8.30 to the sound of the children next door playing in the school playground before school. I just turned over and wished the teachers a good day and thanked my lucky stars I was in bed. 

It was possibly just someone desperate to get their awning in before the rain started🙂 

I am usually more surprised just how quietly some folks arrive very late, and depart very early on some sites. We did once arrive solo at midnight, and get our van out of its storage space and onto a pitch at a CL in Cornwall, and that was with three dogs in tow as well. Everyone on other pitches said they hadn’t heard a thing. 

I find the early morning wastemaster rumblers more irritating, as it’s every morning on Club Sites.

Rules and Quiet Time are no respecters of nature! If someone has to visit the facility block in the middle of the night, or early in the morning, and even if they take the greatest care to make as little noise as possible it is likely they will disturb someone. Especially now that small camper vans without onboard facilities are becoming more popular.

I understand there are reasons why folk are up and about early and I am not asking for monastical silence but some consideration to fellow campers. 

Noise annoys as they say
