I like a good sleep but it would appear many of my fellow campers like to be out of their caravan or motorhome doors bang on 7 am usually with a loud clatter of the door as well.
Pulling and tugging and cursing at awnings as they decamp, finally to retreat back into their vans for a couple of hours before departure.
Would it be too much to ask for the quiet period to extend on site to 8am,.

Posted on 07/06/2022 12:00 by TakethedogalongI am pondering how anyone could rationally choose Gatwick or Seaview for a peaceful holiday. I once watched a full episode of Coronation Street on a stationary train alongside Seaview I was that close to someone’s van🤣
It’s perfectly possible to have a peaceful holiday in the UK, just as it is elsewhere. The unknown factor, here and everywhere else is the simple fact that you don’t know who else will be on your site. Only a fool would think otherwise.😉

Seaview is a lovely site, been there lots of times, hardly notice the trains. If there is a good swell the noise of the waves breaking on the beach is noisier. Now Gatwick is another story. We used it as we were visiting somewhere nearby and it was the only place with vacancies over a bank holiday. Having said that it was fascinating watching the planes take off, you could almost touch and certainly feel them.😀
I think this just underlines that folk need to be respectful, rather than have hard and fast rules. Noise is clearly different things to different people.

We stayed at Seaview many years ago, it is a nice site, but you have to block out the trains😁 I think noisiest club site we have used was Tredegar, constant roar of traffic all the time in day, little bit quieter at night. We once left a site because of the noise, rural CL. Should have been lovely, but it was on a B road used by locals as a race track, and then by HGVs rumbling along all day. One night was enough, you couldn’t sit out it was so bad. Shame as it was, is, a very nice CL.
Noisy neighbouring outfits are different, be it TV’s, raised voices, children constantly screaming, dogs yapping. All within the realms of what can be controlled if required. But that’s how some folks live their whole lives, and they won’t see the problem. Or hear it…..

I'm reminded of the review of Shawsmead some years back, complaining about the cows on the neighbouring farm mooing too loud and too early in the morning! 
Consideration for others is, of course, the byword, but in all our years of touring I don't believe we came across anyone who was deliberately noisy early (if 8am can be called early) in the morning. If anything consideration was more lacking at the other end of the day. But just bear in mind that one is sharing a relatively small outside space with many other folk who may not share one's idea of what is "early".

Posted on 05/06/2022 10:30 by MeFeinMcCabeI 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
Posted on 07/06/2022 16:48 by HarryTheHymerSome people are unreasonably ‘sensitive’ to noise.
see ‘suggestions’ that people walk on the grass as the noise of gravel underfoot causes them great aural distress,

The question is of course who defines unreasonable and sensitive - you MTH?
Two thread up you appear to say that cutting grass could be classed as that with your furious infernal din comments? Yet I don't find grass cutting on sites either loud (furious din) or unreasonable, others might be bothered by it but I don't and easily tune it out, in any case it's isn't done till after 9am.
(btw what's with all the use of quotes?)
Posted on 06/06/2022 07:35 by JVB66There was a leaflet issued last year, by the camc advising of several aspects that affect members, including the site quiet period overnight
jK will be able to expand. on its content

What is one person's noise isn't necessarily another person's.
Like a few others I like Berwick Seaview site, the trains don't bother me at all. I like sites on the coast like Rosemarkie where I can hear the sea crashing on the shore and the shingle rolling back into the sea.
I must admit Tredegar was a whole different noise, traffic like a motorway in the distance doesn't bother me but Tredegar was just noise all day long, thankfully we won't need to go back there.
Its inconsiderate people making noise that really upsets me. Everyone who does this hobby has to except that there are times where you can't avoid making a noise, winding the canopy in can sometimes be noisy, as can knocking in pegs or winding up or down legs on a caravan.
These noises are acceptable but not when it's accompanied by shouting, there is no need to shout back and forth.
Loud TVs, music, mobile phone conversations, none of them are acceptable.
I'm not sure where certain members got the idea I don't like CAMC sites.
I do prefer CLs, and I do prefer to be where I am just now (mainly for the weather) I don't mind CAMC sites, I do mind the cost and the few inconsiderate people that frequent them but that doesn't mean I don't like the sites. I use them when and if I need to, I just don't feel the need as much as some. 😊
