I suspect wild camping in the Lake District would be a high risk sport, but you might be OK somewhere on the coast.Dont think were confident enough yet for wild camping would worry that we were parked in wrong place!

As for campsites, it's New Year so restrictions likely to be in place at popular spots. The answer is obvious - go for five nights!

My five nights comment was tongue in cheek but sites don't put restrictions like this in place if it didn't make business sense. If they can fill their site with folk staying five nights that is better for them than having people coming for one or two nights over New Year then departing. Similar restrictions apply not uncommonly over bank holidays and August at popular sites.5 nights could be way more than we for instance want to stay.
We have family up in Scotland. My wife has a disability so we have to stop very very often when en route. This is because she cannot sit in a seat for very long. So we stop often so I can get her out so she can move around . Typically we stop have cuppa and of again . But we cannot do the whole trip in one day. It's just not possible .
So we stay one night and pay for two. This I can stand and afford. To have to pay for 5 nights or even three makes it not doable . Sorry if it sounds tight but there are the facts .
The very reason we bought a motor home was for the flexibility if should give us. Without it we would have to travel so far then go into a hotel . But then it's having a bed that suits a person with such a disablement .
My point is if these 5 night stays become the norm the flexibility will be lost and we loose our way of combatting the travel problem.
Plus the sites will surely loose business ?
If I go shopping for a pair of jeans I don't expect to have to buy 5 pairs .....
I agree fully and accept it...

Being new here help me. Is this kind of policy adopted in Europe . Having only been once I can't remember ? We stopped at one site in France as we made our way south. We paid for only one night. The other stays were for several nights so the question never arose.

Another for Scotgate, used to work there so bit biased. 3 pubs in village, bus stop outside site to Keswick stops at booths supermarket. Alternate nice path walk in. He used to have minimum stay but is very popular and could be booked up.Scotgate holiday park in Braithwaite village is nice, couple of nice pubs in the village and a nice 2 mile walk into Keswick.

No, Charlie, it isn't the norm over here in France. Before we were permanently domiciled here we wandered from aire to municipal to commercial site as our requirements developed. Now, apart from the occasional rally which might use a site at the beginning or end of season, or even when the site is officially closed, we rarely use commercial sights. However, I have never come across a minimum night requirement anywhere in France.
Hang on to that motorhome!

Thank you ! Another question if I may... We have the "All the aires book " Acsi and so on but is there a book that shows where the municipal sites are ? I feel this would be very useful !
If you find nothing better you can stay on my frontage. Gated, 5 mins walk from town centre and free hook-up.Hi
Struggling to find a site for 1st & 2nd Jan in Lakes walking distance to a town? They all seem to have 3-5night mins stays on them. Were new to this so any advice appreciated
