Adult only

Perhaps there should be an "Oscar Wilde" search category - no dogs or children. 

That seems to be a tad judgemental to me. I have, as far as I can recall, never been on an adult only site. I have used s few sites that have adult only areas such as some Morris Leisure sites. I have however booked an adults only site as part of a tour at the End of August/Start September purely because the site is where I want to be located.

One's judgement, rightly or wrongly, is based on experience. We stayed on an AO site once which was comprised of mainly seasonal touring vans, that experience added to my judgement and opinion. Not sure whether it was the OA or seasonal aspect which formed the 'ambience' of the place mind or a combination of both. Thankfully I consider myself open minded and can modify my opinions and beliefs. Maybe future, hopefully different, experiences would help. Just need to stay/need to stay, on one mind.

Sensible retailers of goods and services tailor their business to cater for a wide range of customers tastes.  In other words they offer their customers "choice". The old fashioned idea of one size fits all is so last century.   Sites which offer various options like No dogs or Adults only can easily co-exist with traditional sites which cater for everybody.  That gives customers the options which best suits their circumstances.  A win win situation all round.

Duplicate post.

Sensible retailers also find that niche market, that something different which, while appealing to the minority, still has a viable customer base. The club's niche market is caravaners and motorhomers and being inclusive across the club site network to all members. It works.

Let a few CLs and the odd AS site cover the 'rest' as they already do.

I understand where you are coming from micky.  But modern customers like choice.  Why deny that option.  Give the customer a range of products. --- So long as the traditional option is still available, traditional customers would still be catered for.  The world moves on. It's a matter of modern "Choice" or old fashioned "No choice".

I think I would not be pleased if a club site didn't allow a child, baby or children. Conversely nor would I be pleased if a club site didn't allow us who are child free on a family site. Neither would be inclusive to all members which I believe is the way of this modern world, inclusivity to all members is that greater choice.

I suppose life's experiences colour one's choices. Having had the thrill of a howling baby for a full week in the next tent one holiday, we have become a tad wary. The family were very nice, we didn't complain, nothing anyone can do, just life. But I don't think we slept properly for a week. The family themselves gave up and went home after a week. That little chap is probably in his late twenties now.........
