Unruly travellers on site

I have seen reviews of travellers on that site and others, Black Horse Farm was another. What you have to be a little bit careful of is assuming that it happens all the time which clearly it doesn't. Reviews and posts on Social Media are just short snapshots in time. We know it happens but not how frequently. When we travelled in France it was not unusual to have Travellers share municipal sites with you.

During a visit to Alderstead Heath travellers occupied the late arrivals car park-that’s the bad news.

However this was app 10 years ago and during our many stays it happened just the once and was sorted quickly.

No, I wouldn’t want it again but, as a comparison, we all know what a pain Dover can be but still thousands travel via there.

My T's & C's of employment go into great detail about discrimination. With that in mind and having experienced a very diverse membership in my 13 years with the club (long may it continue) I think peoples perception of the "travelling community" are slightly blinkered. We have many paid up members from that community that just use our sites like we all do with no real issues. There's always the exception but that could be said of any member having an off day .

Don't get mixed up with outfits turning up en mass of an evening unannounced and making an unwelcome camp and causing distress. I've also had that experience which I hope to never repeat.

Hi, we were due to stay here for in July and cancelled because of the issues you are concerned about. The site we went to instead was managed by a Warden who used to look after Alderstead and he confirmed just how much of a problem it is but obviously having to keep to the strict CAMC rules on inclusion/diversity. His personal opinion (when not in uniform) was to possibly consider somewhere else from April to October. I know it’s a big site but it’s never full and you can even get serviced pitches at short notice so that in itself says something in my opinion. Please note that I am very tolerant of all but I’m very careful of whom I want spend my hard earned holiday away from work with.

We stayed at Alderstead heath site last year and encountered the same problems as most other reviews and left early 

I had always wanted to to Chartwell which after our visit and the great helpful staff there , we went home instead of our booked stay

I think you’re forgetting there’s a strong element of law in the discrimination terms, Wedgy.

Also to be "woke" is to be anti discrimination, mainly anti racism, so to knock woke is to admit to favouring racism, ageism, sexism etc - not a good place to be.

I must change my prescription and purchase some of your rose tinted spectacles, as for The Law we all know what animal is representative of that.

Personally I am not anti any of the isms mentioned however things have gone to the extreme with tiny minority groups now having the upper hand and dictating to the majority.

I for one would not venture anywhere near the Travelling Community and in my experience the feeling is mutual.

What exactly is the problem? I have shared several campsites in France with British / Irish “travellers” and  with French market traders and with immigrant itinerant grape and fruit pickers  - and  there were no problems. 

There is one big difference between France and the UK it is called respect for the law enforcement agencies,in the way they work
