CLs Full? (1 Viewer)

[pat100]

Not a CL, but …
There’s me and one tent on this lovely Anglesey campsite. Nipped up the local peak (500ft) for a 3 mile circular walk on arrival. Then 9 miles on the costal path.
Drawbacks: No showers. No black disposal. Narrow through road (tarmac). Otherwise, pretty idyllic. (My first ever MH outing) £19pn.
Caerau Campsite. 53.396680,-4.527746. Found on Pitchup.

All the CLs which I looked at were full. Two lovely sunny days. Today a washout like the rest of the UK. Hence, pottering etc. Tomorrow looking promising?

Nah, that would probably be a disappointment to anyone who's daft enough to just 'nip up a 500' peak on a 12 mile walk'.

Reasonably pleasant in East Kent

Looking at a group of CL's near Bosworth Battlefield in early July. CAMC site says email them. One replied to say that they aren't taking any booking this year.... two haven't been arsed enough to reply or answer their phones. Must be full all the time then?

No facilities expect free in most of Europe.

So, campsites are free?

I’m lost! Where is free?

Some/many French aires are free. Some make a charge when they have waste disposal drains and water is usually from a 'coin in the slot' tap. Have a look on the various apps to find out details.

Can I stay for 4 days?

Can I stay for 4 days?

It depends; some have limits, some don't. I very rarely stay more than two nights anywhere and I'm out in the m/h during the day.

But doesn’t that mean that I spend my holiday driving?

If you have a motorhome driving is part of the fun. You don't have to drive far, the next village will do.

 

[pat100]

Hmm! I may not have thought this through, properly. I like to investigate an area for a few days. Looks like it could be more expensive than I thought.

This was 25th March last year on the Llyn Peninsular.
19c, not a breath of wind and wall to wall blue skies
I was hoping for the same this year
Lets hope April's better

I guess the unpredictability of the weath is also part of the fun! I managed to find a two hour dry slot today so did manage a stroll on local paths (probably the first person to set foot on them for 30 years!)

 

[Spriddler]

But doesn’t that mean that I spend my holiday driving?

Only if you want to. As with 2x2camper and Figaro I sometimes only travel 20 miles to the next stop. That's the beauty of a m/home - just wander and stop at will.

We're all different, I sometimes just spend one night in a place, then move on. When I find somewhere I like and there seems to be plenty of interest, I stay a few nights.
You will find your own pace that you are comfortable with.
Prices for campsites have rocketed recently, but there are some reasonably priced ones, then fit in a couple of remote wild camping places or pub parkups and you needn't spend a fortune.
Searchforsites and park4night are useful for finding sites.

 

[pat100]

Thanks, all. Time for some cooking!

Are you on a grass pitch ? they can be troublesome in wet weather, especially if you have to go up an incline to get out.
