Adult only sites?
Hi,
Is there any way to search for sites by adults only?
I am trying to plan some relative peace & quiet during the school summer holiday period!

You can google adult only caravan sites, there is a website for Tranquil Sites which are Adult Only also you can go on to UK Campsite website and select Adult Only to bring up a list.
We have recently returned from Red Kite Touring Park (Adult Only) in Mid Wales, it's only been open for 13 months, we also stayed at Bron Derw at Llanwrst in North Wales that has an Adult Only Section.

Miggs, try using the campsite search facility on UKCampsite.co.uk. The Adult Only button there will give you lots of sites to choose from, both CLs from the Club list and independent sites as well.

Tranquil parks have a fairly good spread of sites, and are mainly good value. Just returned from Blue Rose in Yorkshire, fully serviced pitches for £22 per night outside of bank holidays and school hols.
Excellent site and lovely owners.a bit noisy evenings as bikers try out their toys on the A165 but you are surrounded by bird song from 04.00 till 22.00hrs
Cuckoo all day long.

There are plenty of adult only sites out there. There are plenty of dog free sites out there. Why anyone should want the CAMC which, for all its faults, prides itself, rightly in my view, as being an inclusive club, to mirror these is what confounds me!

So we welcome tents, let people rent pods, make ourselves inclusive of all units but whoops, sorry, no children allowed. Yeah, it makes sooo much sense.

Yes, I agree with you moulesy, the point I was trying to make is that we 'non dog' members tolerate the amount of dogs on site and the members who do not like children on site should also be tolerant. My peace and quiet on site is never spoilt by children but I can not say the same about the dogs, but I tolerate it.

Yes, being tolerant of others is definitely the key to enjoying the sort of holiday where you are in close proximity to scores of others in a public place. To be honest, and this applies to any sort of site we've used, there are far fewer problems from dogs, children or any sort of antisocial behaviour on site that there are at home. I sometimes wonder if who complain on here about what annoys them on site are as proactive in complaining to their local council about similar problems at home!

So on some sites children and their accompanying adults would be, in effect, banned according to the wishes of a few! So on sites deemed 'good' by some for families would single adult couples or solo adults be banned? I think not! The club is an inclusive one and thankfully so. There are many families who can live side by side with non family members with no problems whatso ever. I can't see that changing, let those comercials or affiliated sites who wish to appeal to that sector do so but the club is a welcoming organisation and long will that continue I'm sure.

I define 'out of control' as a 5 year old running between my car and caravan waving a cricket bat, or a 12 year old (or so) lad kicking a football high into the air in the middle of caravans. In each case parents aware but not actively engaged. I have even had a lad and his mum (neither very adept with a football) playing a game of piggy in the middle whilst kicking the ball either side of a younger child and immediately behind a line of about a dozen caravans (strangely this did not include there own caravan).
Or is it the two lads of 7 or 8 trying to overtake my car by riding one either side and in the case of one between car and hedge with little gap. I did have a friendly word with their two sets of parents who were nearby drinking wine in case their lads were to get injured. They did not seem very interested.
I can think of other incidents but not something that I commonly encounter although I do avoid school holidays largely.
I would not personally seek out AO sites and kids can be a delight. Some parents less so. Having said that Clumber Park Caravan Club site on a Summer weekend is not for me.

If parents controlled their children instead of the other way around then there would be much less of a problem.
Those that do probably go unnoticed like sensible dog owners; I applaud them.
In the meantime I shall continue to search for AO sites, which is why I looked at this thread in the first place.

Might we concentrate on answering the OP questions rather than getting into a debate on the merits or otherwise of Adult Only sites which, by the way it is going, is likely to see this thread closed?

Searching for Adult Only Sites is the easiest thing in the world.
UKCampsite.co.uk lists about 500 of them. But I get the impression that some people would rather grouse and grumble about the sites which aren't AO rather than go to the ones which are.

Parents should control their children no doubt.
That said, adults are just as capable of misbehaving as children, in the case of speeding with more terrible results. If anyone, children or adults break club rules and upset your stay then do something about it, see the wardens if you don't want to see the people concerned yourself.

Club is unlikely (thankfully) to ever change its inclusive policy on all family members being welcome on Club Sites. One or two AS Sites have AO policy, which is their right to choose. As pointed out, away from Club Sites there is no shortage of AO and pet free sites.
We learned a long time ago to steer clear of most places in school holidays, being in the fortunate position of being able to take our holidays when we want to, but more because of Sites being busier rather than any issues with children or pets.

Here's a selection taken from UKCS which are said to be Adults Only:
Adults Only Sites, Britain and Europe.
Our friends, who were teachers, and have just retired, used to holiday in the school summer hoidays, and preferred few or no children, but they always managed to find sites which suited them in France, and without booking in advance or selecting them from the link above. They used to use a French campsite guide, and go for the smaller and out of the way campsites, off the main tourist trails. They have a large tent, and have spent holidays camping since they met nearly twenty years ago. Perhaps that's another thought for the OP and is in no way intended to promote 'over there' instead of 'over here', just a genuine suggestion.

Maybe I get out more. Although I doubt it MM. Probably had 5 similar instances over the last 1,200 nights away! So not that common. I suspect that it does affect certain sites more than others. Probably more evident where there is a large urban population not far away that use regularly for weekends. 'In my day' sites were not as crowded perhaps. I can remember, probably 27 years ago playing tennis at Shawsmead site (then non-facility) with 6 year old daughter using a hard bat and soft sponge ball. Also remember at non-facility site at Much Wenlock playing football and then cricket with daughters and a gang of kids on an area well away from caravans (might later have been dog walk area but can't remember). After an hour I approached some other parents and said 'your in bat' and retired for a well earned glass of wine.
Generally not a problem MM but, as said, for me Clumber Park site at a summer weekend is a no no.
Edited to add: No way would I wish any CC sites to be Adult Only.
