Wereceivedquitea responsetorecentstoriesandour

editor's letters about children and camping.

Most of the comments were readers agreeing on how

good the outdoors is for kids, or sharing memories of

themselves camping in their youth.

But there was one reader who also told us how shocked

he was to read about resorts that do not allow persons

under the age of 18.

We want to know how you feel about resorts that do not

allow children – would you support such a campsite, do you

think there needs to be more of them, would you never visit

such a place, or do you just not care?

Did not even no such places exist, but I think it has

a place for those that need silence.

That’s ridiculous...camping will not be the

same without kids running around...it just creates

a vibe. If people don’t want kids around and want peace

and quiet then stay at home. Or look for a site that is

secluded and quiet.

I'd prefer grumpy old whingers be omitted and

let kids in.

Some campsites especially for kids and families

and some only for adults. I would love to visit the

quiteones.

It is the resort / business owner's choice,

not the campers.

There are actually people out there who actually need a

break from noisy children.

Stupid, but moms and dads let their kids loose on

a resort and then they don't let kids volume down,

and that is why resorts make this happen. Kids need to be

disciplined at camping sites and need to consider other

campers as well.

*HRUJH(Q0DULQGD%RWKDbbbb

Those camp sites must have warning signs

NO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 70 then

I'lltotally understand

There is a huge amount of retired permanent

campers today. Because retirement homes are

simply too expensive and not suitable for oldies who are still

healthy and enjoy camping. I am sure they will enjoy this.

I've been to a campsite for adults only and it's

absolute bliss. No screaming kids running around

or noisy black bikes to wake you up in the mornings. I think

no kids under 18. However, it would be pet friendly. There

needs to be MORE pet friendly campsites.

&DUROLQH0DUDLV/RXZbbbb

And how can there be future nature lovers and campers

without teaching children from a small age what to

appreciate in life? Children are part of the joy in camping!

I do believe that even stooges have the right to enjoy

camping and we don't have the right to prevent them doing
