A Dundee couple claim they were asked not to return to a caravan park due to noise made by their children, including their autistic son.
Barry and Libby Holman have spent several recent weekends taking their five children and two dogs to Foresterseat Caravan Park, by Forfar.
But on their most recent visit, they claim they were told by the site’s owner that “I’d rather you didn’t come back”.
The family, who only bought their caravan last year, said three of their children — Jade, 10, Jack, eight, and Ewan, seven — have ADHD.
Jack and Ewan are also autistic and Jade ODD (oppositional defiant disorder). Their other two children, Paige, nine, and Brodie, one, were also with them on the trip.
Barry, 31, from Kirkton, said: “We had been to the caravan park the last couple of weekends and given a pitch in the corner — which had been great, as it gave our kids space and we didn’t have too many neighbours nearby.
“Last weekend we decided to go back up to the park as we had really enjoyed taking the kids there but we weren’t given our usual pitch and were placed right in the middle of the site, which meant we were fairly enclosed.
“Jack is autistic and he took a meltdown, as he wasn’t used to the area and it took more than an hour to calm him down.
“My daughter Jade had gone to the park within the camp and she was laughing and giggling but was approached by a female member of staff and told to be quiet and that they didn’t want to hear any more noise over the weekend.
“When Jade came back and told us this we were obviously mindful and wanted to respect the rules, and we kept a closer eye on the kids.”
The family say they offered to move to another pitch, but Barry added: “I explained we had a few issues with autism in our young family and also ADHD, and that a pitch away from the campsite would be beneficial to us but the owner said: ‘I’d rather you didn’t come back.’ ”
A Foresterseat spokeswoman said: “We had no idea that the children were autistic or ADHD. The family were constantly breaking park rules and other park users were complaining.”
