Tent ropes pegged into the next campsite.

Did you prepay the site?

If not, knock your own percentage off the final price and just pay that.   Percentage of the site you couldn't use and of course (the money shot for all those ambulance chasing lawyers) pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of your holiday.   That's where the managers and owners start to hurt.

how would old Jack deal with it

After reading 4 x pages of dribble, I hope I don't pull up camp next to some of you in the future!

This is my first real trip away from home and the first stay in a caravan park with our CT. We have been camped at Broken Hill Tourist Park for the last 3 x nights. My wife wanted a powered site so she can run a heater for the kids, and as it is the last week of school holidays in SA, so the park is busy.

We booked the site a week ago and gave the dimensions of our camper (erected) and they said it would fit easy in the powered site area. (14'6" tent with a 8' annexe)

We arrived on Tuesday at about 4pm, and when we setup our Camper and Annexe, we were extending into the next site by about 75cm for nearly the whole length of the site, which I felt bad about. . I spoke to the couple along side us in a ute back camper, and they were fine with it. This was with the camper spun 90 degrees, otherwise it would have been worse!

I later mentioned it to the park office so staff were aware, but they were very relaxed about it and said it it tricky to fit everyone in, and that 'people just have to work it out'.

The lovely couple in the ute left on Wednesday and the site was vacant Wednesday night.

Tonight a lovely family with a Complete Campsite CT arrived, and I helped guide them in and explained that we were hanging over the line a bit. The bloke was worried that HE was going to be too close to us... And I think he felt bad.

We had a couple of beers, and checked out each others campers, talked the usual schizen, and as we are both leaving in the morning, he couldn't care about the 'line'.

I guess in the end, just relax, communicate with your neighbours nicely, and try to enjoy your holiday... Don't let some thing as petty as a rope over a line ruin your trip.

I may be lucky that my neighbours have been very nice and chatty, and I try to be a nice bloke in return.

As I alway say, Don't sweat the small stuff!

Its good to see that people are not to worried about a line on the grass. Some times  it not easy if are use to bush camping and then you have fit things in to small 10x10 area. Grab a beer say hello and talk camping.

Sorry if im staying in a c p and they are charging top $ for a site i want it all sorry but thats me and it expect management to sort it out   

[Paul (SA)]

Nothing wrong with a bit of campsite spooning.

If you can fit the Brisbane Ekka in between us ... you are still too close to me.     What's that song ... Give me land, LOTS of land ...

How many camp grounds have every site EXACTLY the same in size ie dimensions & area? And how many does anyone know of that charge by the square metre? Variations in price usually occur according to position or amenities provided. So, if your adj camper is paying the same rate as you and they actually have half a metre less width in their site for eg, is it unfair if their ropes creep a bit? Just tossing ideas around.

BOOOOOM!

Gelignite Jack... what a legend!

[bobnrob]

While I agree that in and of itself, it is a trival matter, it's my experience that this type of bloke carries that attitude with everything he does
If he needs to use 2 sites, pay for 2...that simple!

Not cricket!

Looking at your setup I would have just down loaded some loud continuous fart music or recorded some and played it full bore in your ensuite in the middle of the night.

Some people seriously need to learn tolerance. Sure his ropes were on your site, but you didn't even go and talk to him directly about it. Instead you went and sooked off to management. It seems to me that you let something this minor effect your whole time at the van park.

And to say that you would come out swinging if a reply didn't suit you? Get over yourself, this is the attitude that sucks in modern day society. So you were bullied when younger but do two wrongs make a right? Maybe you need counseling over what happened in your younger years?

Maybe in the future you could try having a friendly chat with the neighbour before getting yourself worked up about not a lot. You would be suprised at how much more compensating people are when taking the friendly approach.

Seriously lighten up!!

[nbd73]

Time to make peace and let it all go.....

[CRW]

OMG five pages on this.... I need a bex and a lie down. Tolerance and talk gets you a long way, otherwise go bush camping and enjoy so much space you will be lonely
