Site Aesthetics

Content has been removed.

I am completely indifferent to most “ornaments” around the site. Flags with a particular purpose e.g. showing a rally Marshall is ok but other than that I am very dubious. My real hatred, and it is hatred, is for lights. Especially flashing lights that go on for hours after dark. They tend to penetrate the blinds. I really truly do not understand why anyone needs them. Personally I would have all lights off over night. If you need to wander around at night, take a torch. I bet there are vans that don’t even have a torch.

When we are away I want peace and quiet and a very neutral/passive (not sure what the correct word is) environment. Which is why we tend not to use big sites, or camp on popular areas in school holidays.

The photos posted by Steve show some very nice, well crafted items that would brighten up any site or indeed garden. You do see some wonderfully inventing recycling and crafted additions around. One persons interesting addition is simply another persons “tat”, but so long as everything remains safe and doesn’t intrude on anyone else’s visit, live and let live I say, I like individuality.
My Mum lives near a big cemetery, and it’s lit up like a fairground in places in Winter as I drive past. Someone somewhere is deriving comfort from it, like some of the roadside so called shrines that spring up occasionally. I do wish if folks were going to take flowers to cemeteries and accident sites they would unwrap the plastic and paper off though. 

I too have a hatred of flashing lights as they often give me migraine and I would not be pleased at all if anyone pitched near to me and had them on their van, especially if they kept them on at night.  I dislike garden gnomes but don't mind other types of ornaments such as flowerpot men, or similar. I really don't understand, however, why anyone would take a very tall flagpole with them though, with a penant on top, which I saw last year whilst at Durham.  Space is at a premium in most caravans and motorhomes and most of us try not to take too much with us and a very tall flagpole (which must obviously fold down), I wouldn't class as being at all necessary.

Is that first picture a CAMC site, it looks suspiciously like the C&CC site at Moffat!

Well spotted! 👍🏻

The other two were snapped at Thetford CAMC site.
