I can guarantee that.  Even if we wanted to.  Not that those inbreds would have the brainpower to refuse us.

Though I fail to see how you can steal electric, when you ask for a hookup, which they provided for free.

Inbreds.

Cos we were still plugged in at 4 o'clock,  & as we were returning to the caravan she was marching across the site to unplug us ...... we beat her to it!
She was still harping on about the daily tarif for the site too, telling us that her website clearly stated what the charge was but we'd paid exactly what the daughter had asked for. It's not uncommon if you turn up at a car based 'rally' for the charges to have been negotiated before hand so we didn't have reason to question the daughter when she asked for less tha the website states.
But as you say, they were just short of a banjo a piece.  ;D  ;D  ;D

If she was so concerned about her quoted daily tariff per pitch ... how come she charged twice by putting 2 families on one pitch and charging them both  ??

She was just a muppet...  and a greedy one.

Could have stayed in a hotel for what she charged us, think we paid in excess of £70 for our pitch and then she had the cheek to tell us that she wanted to charge us £15 per car space too!!! >:( >:(

Hang on - 1 tent, 4 people, 2 nights, why £70 :o

And extra car? The daft bint was already squeezing 3 tents to 2 pitches :o.

Useless, halfwitted inbred.


She (mum or daughter, or where they one and teh same?) kept trying to blame me for the electric keep tripping, claiming I was pulling too much.  2 rather phone chargers (already put the fridge on gas due to poor leccy supply there).  And the local 6A trip never failed, it was always the main campsite one.  rather inbred.

That said, my memory is somewhat fuzzy.  I do remember the OOF server crashing, and trying to fix it from a bloody mobile in the middle of a field, whilst in a bit of a muddle.....

1 tent, 8 people, 2 cars!!! Still bloody expensive in my book!
Wouldn't have been so bad on a nice site, limited facilities, monopolised by kids doing duke of edinburgh award and using the loos as a store room/common room, very dodgy electrics, bbq ban near our pitch. Crap facilities in my book! >:( >:( >:(

Surely the under 5s don't count as people as far as camping charges are concerned?


Shame, stunning location, 'adequate' facilities if the DoE people hadn't trashed it (we got the blame for that), and the licky window lot hadn't hogged things.

Hopefully the owners will die, and then it can be run by someone who knows what they are doing.

why was there a bbq ban?  Probably due to owners cramming too many tents too close together.

Thanks for reminding me! That was a traumatic experience, turning up to my first OOF meet not in an omega!!! :(
Jimbobs was off the road (shocker), I took pity on him and lent him mine, then hired a car for me and baby!!
Not an ideal place to have a hire car with MDTM about!! >:( :D

Pity about the site, it is ideal for OOF meets! :(

Yeah, great site.  And it had the well kept footie field, which I have fond memories of - not laughed so much in ages.


MDTM - oh yes, he can be a bugger ;D
