Camping in Cornwall with my staffie

Hi all just to let you know if you want to go camping with you staffie avoid a site called Eden Valley, near the Eden Project, formerly called Powderham camp site at all costs. I contacted them to enquire about going camping with my dog, staffie girl called Molly, and was asked the breed. As soon as I mentioned being a staffie the ladies attitude changed, the site advises they don't accept dangerous dogs (staffs aren't classed as dangerous dogs). I was told they had had issues and that I suppose I'm going to say my dog is fine! My dog is a family pet with 2 cat companions, 2 kids and regularly walks with dogs of all breeds shapes and sizes...
I did loose wy temper a little and called the lady ignorant, and reminded her that lots of other breeds are more likely to be aggressive than staffies, I was basically told to go away and that I was an irresponsible person for daring to own such a vicious dog... The thought of which makes me laugh as my dog snores loudly after chasing a kitten around the house...
Just thought I'd advise people of my experience of this site and the narrow minded attitude of some people.
Just for info the site advertises as a dog friendly site on the dog friendly website.
Thanks for reading.
Sarah and Molly.

What complete planks! I'm glad the campsite I use in Yorkshire has no such problem!

Mmmm seems to be getting kinda commen. What total knobs, thanks for the heads up.

Must be something in the water there as my sister lives there and assumes Moo will eat her children, shame on the prannets

Thanks for the heads up! Me and my 'bulldog cross' have a camping trip to plan!@!
Now do I bring the spiked collar or the studded harness? How about the red contact lenses and devil horns!?

After reading some of the Terms and Conditions of these campsites they sound more like consentration camps, don't do this and don't do that. Don't make a noise after 9pm. Who do they think they are. You have paid to stay on their site you are a customer. Isn't the customer always right. Vote with your feet just avoid them.

If I had a campsite you would all be most welcome to come and stay with your little friends.

Thank all for your kind words, you need like minded people sometimes. The permanent negative responses gets to me. I did stay at a site last year called hedley wood near bude and a couldn't say anything bad about them, whilst we were there there were at least 2 staffs and a dopey Doberman. The owner couldn't care less as long as you cleaned up after them.

Jade - I'd go for the spiked collar and devil horns with the red contacts, at least some people would get what they except then... Until your dog rolls over waiting for her belly tickled, if she's anything like mine.. Haha

Sorry this is off topic but gunningbury I just noticed you come from Bury - thats my last name and my family (great great grandparents of something) actually come from near there (can't remember where) but our name apparently has nothing to do with the town... haha.


what muppets not allowing staffys to the campsite! surely they should allow you to give them references to call or something before they just be so prejudice against the breed.
