I must agree with you, Colin. Tried Easter camping a couple of times years ago. Never again, Bedlam, as you say.
Cheers,
Roy.

True words tea spoon.
I think more and more times we now avoid any frees near rivers creeks and beaches and find peace in parks that may be a little bit inland from the coast.
Easter is worse and school holidays arent that flash either.
Most parks that are a bit off the beaten track are quite cheap, they are seldom crowded nearly always friendly owners and we are finding more like minded people thinking along similar lines.
The 5 days of Easter can be bedlam if you end up in the wrong spot.

Easily the worst time of the year closely followed by the long weekend in October. It is Bogan City if you go to any camping site near water.
I find if you travel inland there is usually not a problem as there is nothing for the vacuous morons to do in those localities, so they stay away. I mean, they are hardly going to sit down and read a book or enjoy nature, are they.
A quiet place in the bush, especially if there is a visiting ranger, and there is no trouble at all.

If you're retired, why would you want to go camping at Easter?

Even before retirement mate, as soon as our children were off our hands we have never left our home town to go anywhere at Easter.
Having driven for a living for most of my life, the last thing I wanted to do was to sit in endless lines of traffic.
Mind you though if we go back 30 years, camping was a lot more pleasant as the majority of us were polite and had at least some respect for those around us.
Time to stay home and hide from the Easter madness....duck fat !

Not so today I am afraid.
