I'm writing a brief article; Motorhome Ownership - Dreams to Reality. Do any of you have any pictures of Dreamy or Hell on Earth campsites I might use to illustrate the article? Or maybe you had a dream that didn't survive reality, you can post to me here or in a private message. Thanks in anticipation.

Dream (lived it)

Take away the tents/awnings, that first picture looks more like a camp than a site. Not that I've got a problem with camps.

Sometimes reality Aire Parking De Anglet near Biarritz - forgot it was Friday and couldn’t get out! Went for a cycle to Biarritz and came back to this. We are over on the right - somewhere.

Same holiday though was mostly the dream, Municipal site along the river, Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère 3 euros should the office be open.

I just do not know what to say regarding some of those images quite disturbing. My second camper was a LWB Land Rover Pop Up roof Dormabile, around 1976.
Went across Europe and the UK, rarely met another camper, what joy to remember.
Everyone has an idealistic view of the joy experienced by roaming without a venue in mind or at least I do.
Those photos of cramped sites, glorified car parks fill me with dread.
Back in my darkened room now to recover.

Sandend Beach Scotland a few weeks ago. Only van looking out to sea, the other 5 pitches empty.
Happy days.

Didn't go the the Malvern show as last year I looked at it and thought 'it looks like a housing estate on wheels' and it wasn't capacity full!!!

Booked the south west show last minute , I am starting to wonder 'have I done the right thing', went the first year I bought the van only for the day and it took me longer to get there that the time I spent there.

But I did pick up a few tips from other people when asking about solar panels (the point of the visit) it is now firmly attached to Van.

Still looking forward to it though

One of my favourite wild camping spots up in Shetland (no longer accessible though).

The distance between vans is just how I like my motorhoming

Wild camping in Portugal. Don't think it's allowed now.

Could not agree with you more went to Malvern show this year if you had not had covid before there was great chance you could have caught there left after 24 hrs never to return again
