Encroaching a bit!

Posted on an FB group today.

This person came back to their van to find this. They complained only to be told that the tent were regulars so they did not want to upset them. They would not name the site, but it is Cornwall.

I would certainly be miffed, certainly not any clearance there, my waste hog would be leaking.

Waste hog how about the toilet cassette

Photo to local Fire Brigade. Could be breaching site licence for inter unit distance.

Doubt very much if I didn't manage to trip over the guy ropes, I've never experienced any problem tripping over mine over the years,...nice place though for siting a barbecue if it's windy 😄

We're off to Cornwall tomorrow, but not to that site.....

If its "real" which is hard to credit then given the site owner's quoted response I would have recorded it and contacted the local authority who if it was neither an exempt site, or a sub 28 day per year site, they would have to have granted planning permission.

If it was an exempt site I would have been contacting the organisation holding the Natural England, DEFRA, exemption, along with the Department itself.

I don't like losing sites, but I feel that's decidedly better than risking losing lives.

Its absolutely unacceptable by any standards, thus I am inclined to think its a contrived social media stunt.

Whitehills at Stoke Gabriel have tent pitches white lined,tents and all the equipment has to be kept within the marked area,it area has a significant space between,helps to avoid any flames spreading,it's a very nice site,they also have sections for caravans and motorhomes

I feel sure it is real. Many responses on FB suggesting similar to those on here. The caravan owners say’s she will disclose the name of the site when she moves on. She said she was worried about come back. She also promises to report it.

How would you get to empty the Waste hog and the toilet cassette I would trip over the guy ropes and would have complained that to close.

BB ,
Hutch has a magic Waste hog. Rarely needs emptying😉.

The lady did complain. See John’s OP

Yes it would be very sad if you tripped over the guy ropes and spilled the contents of the toiler cassette over the tent. Oh dear, how sad, never mind! 🤣

Hope the site which can’t be named was reported to Fire service/health and safety.

Firstly, I just cannot imagine anyone with a third of a brain pitching up like that.
Secondly, I would have created holy #**#!

This does not excuse the poor pitching. But the FB poster has come back to say that the tent also had no room on the other side.

Fair, but I would absolutely not have tolerated that. Dangerous.

I had similar pitching, a long time ago. not quite that bad , we had a "Yard" space between units, at the C and CC site at Lynmouth and Lynton site. The wardens were moved due to the situations. ,
We were new to caravanning and didn't know any different.

 

[Jcloughie]

The FB poster has just revealed the name of the site. Though I like the idea of name and shame, where it is proven. I will not repeat it for three reasons.

• It may go against forum rules.
• It is second hand information that I cannot verify.
• The site gets great reviews on Trip Advisor.

If anyone really wants to know then pm me.

Maybe they were seasoned Continental campers. I have been on campsites over on the other side of the Channel where one had to come to an agreement with the neighbour who could open the windows. It was either one or the other, but both couldn't at the same time.
