Adults Only CLs Annoyance..

I am not missing the point at all.  I fully appreciate that some people prefer to be away from children for whatever reason they have and in general I would prefer to be away from those people.

How would it be objectionable to identify the potential hazards.  Garileston CC site used to have a statement warning of deep water hazard and that it may not be suitable for young children.  That's the sort of thing that I mean

The age group that people want to avoid is primary school age I guess yet teenagers of 17 are also excluded.  Old enough to drive and have a family themselves but too young to camp on an AO CL

JayEss, can I ask what your solution would be please? Should AO sites be banned by the CC, although in fact it is really nothing to do with them? It really is down to the CL owner, who I might add does not get any help from the CC in setting up a CL apart from the initial inspection and an entry in the Directory. (BTW all new owners now have also to take out CC membership too).

To be honest although we use AOs during school holidays we do use others during long weekends in term time. Generally there aren't children around and if they are we haven't encountered any problems. Most of the sites we choose to stay on would not perhaps be considered by parents with children due to lack of entertainment in the area. 

oakapple - I believe that CLs operate under the CC exemption so it's a bit more than just a listing. What would the costs be if planning and licensing were required?

I don't have a solution nor do I propose to come up with one.  It is my personal view.  The CC and the CL owners can do as they wish in this regard.  It is my choice whether to support AO CLs and I do not and will not. 

Having been a responible parent of my one and only gorgeous daughter, I can only comment on the fact that we always made clear that she obeyed the sites rules, No Dog off its lead, to close all gates after use, always leave the sites amenities as she found them(any issues call mum), never ride her bike when on site, and not to bite any of the other children. If holiday makers choose to let there kids run riot at the expense of others enjoyment, Dont blame the CC AO site owners, They like us have probably had enough.. !!!!

Now the my daughters grown up, Its AO for us, If Warner Holidays are advertising Adults Only holidays then there must be a reason why..............

And choose to go Adults only

Silly me. I thought all CLs were adults only - with a minimum age limit too - a sort of sub section of Saga holidays. 

I go to campsites with unfenced rivers, unsupervised swimming pools and campfires. And families. 

CLs are just meeting demand ET 

Nothing to do with the potential hazards - it's market forces purely and simply.

It's a usfeul indicator of a campsite that neither you nor I would wish to pitch on

It's quite simple really, if people don't like AO's don't go to them just the same if a site says no dogs I don't go there. It's choice that we all have rights to. Family friendly doesn't just mean having children with you.

we are quite happy to go to either if it's where we want to be.

Simples 

 

 

We use CL's increasingly as we prefer the value for money aspect of our caravanning.  For us in similar veign to Moulsely we look for Location first and then that it has an EHU. After that frankly I don't read on. We have quite a number of CL's that we use during the year and quite honestly I have not a clue whether any of them are AO or not, it does not bother me one way or the other!

But one thing I will say is that although it has not prevented me from using a club site yet, I do recognise the concern that older  members must feel on some sites during the school holidays.

Each year we take our autistic Grandson to the Longlete Club site for about 4 nights, its his favourite!  But for us it can be a little testing!  I have often thought that I know now what the "Old Wild West" settlers must have experienced having pulled their waggons into a circle and the Red Indians were riding around.  This time the yelling was just as loud but instead of pony's the braves were riding bikes.  Oh how I longed for my quiet CL with no tarmac  driveways!

The CC is a broad Church and we do need to cater for all types of member.   I think Jayess is being too extreme. It is a good thing that some CL's are there to provide a venue for those who for whatever the reason, prefer a quiet life.  As I said it dosen't bother me one way or another,  but I do think that on balance a few AO's are a very good thing. If nothing else,-  just to keep the disputes to a minimum during the School Holidays!
