I feel a bit sorry for the newbies or just people who wanna camp on the other place, They join up with all the joys of spring wanting to go camping and do the shows but no one's bothered anymore, Iv'e just noticed the Camperjam thread and one person just said they're all ready packed and chomping at the bit to get gone, back a few years and it and other camps and shows were rocking, put one up now and hardly any response, I know a few people do still camp but it's all a bit cliquey and fractured, It's sad really, I'm just glad I had some good times before it all blew apart

I've always preferred NOT to camp wth groups, I'm just an anti social type. TE was ok.

I know what you mean woody, when I first joined tlb it was buzzing with organised stuff, had some top camps, now techenders has become a highlight and when I 1st went we were lucky if 15 vans showed up.

Keiths field is great for a family weekend in a nice place, you should go Rick and see what you've been missing

I suppose we were lucky that a big group really gelled and enjoyed the camping. I've noticed a few round here that have just bought campervans and put loads of pictures up on Facebook but hardly ever move them off the drive. I think they like the image of ownership rather than actually getting down and camping in it.

Camping with a group in the right place with the right sort of people who want to have fun and a laugh together especially with a nice fire etc. is imo the best . Finding people who gel n want that is the hardest thing . Shows have def changed and their are a lot of them.

There was a core of "hardly anyone" on TLB that organised those camps. Most of them now left or been banned. They have a hell of a lot more members now. A forum of followers flapping about with no leaders. The nearest they have is a few old bods going around the same tired old circle - camperjam, dent... All that new blood waiting for someone else to do it. I just had a rare look and Baybirmingham started yet another thread bigging up poptop for throwing up in a portaloo years and years ago. Desperate times on TLB. And a thread where some poor bugger says in first post about steering problems that his ball joints are really stiff - followed by pages and pages of peeps suggesting he checks everything under the sun, all ignoring the obvious problem - the ball joints, Ha-ha! Should have asked here.

I think the camping over there just got too hard to do. Can you remember all the arguments over summer camp, why is it down south, why not up north why not central? I did a few winter camps and a few summer camps and really enjoyed them. I think Eastnor was the last one I did a few years back. My only regular trip out in company is Keiths now, I still go a few times a year to other places but that's just my family. All the people I like camping with live too far away apart from tbr and he's always in frog land, and I'm crap at organising stuff.

Just been flicking through a few Facebook pages and apparently this years Camperjam was the best one yet. Some saying it's their 6th and 7th in a row. Great bands. Great food and clean toilets. Now it's been binned off by ch5 I might give it another go next year 😜
