I think you may've just missed some detail but if it's us that've missed something who are the "we" and where are they?

For most people on this forum*, from April 12th, holidaymakers with self contained facilities can stay away from home overnight. e.g. our shower & toilet equipped motorhomes can stay on campsites.

About 5 weeks later if we stay on track, hotels & facilities at campsites can open up. The latter will help tent users & smaller motorhomes.

edit: *- the people looking at gov.uk rather than Scotland's or Wales' equivalent government updates

The caravan club are open and taking bookings for the week.

No facilities on site but obviously still charging the full rate as if we have an obligation to help them out.

So we cancelled the week we had booked on the main site and now have a lovely little farm CL down the road.
No facilities other than Electric and water £12.50 per night. A lot more acceptable price for basically parking and a third of the cost of a main site with no facilities

We think CL's will be the way forward for us now.

I’m glad you can go away in England but PLEASE remember Scotland is not open until at least the end of the month it is illegal to come to Scotland at the moment until it’s opens up officially. The police will come down hard on this matter. Enjoy England until we can come visit them it’s open for motorhome fun to begin all over the uk

We are opening our CL Woodside Field on the 12th April and still have space for a few more. We hope all your motorhomes are primed and ready to go. And as Fragle suggested above please try the the smaller CL type sites and have a great season.
