New Touring Park in Cornwall now open (1 Viewer)

[Jimbo50]

Back in February I posted about a good friend of mine setting up a new touring park near Truro in Cornwall. Www.carnonwollastouringpark.co.uk
Well he’s beaten the weather and has officially opened early.
He informed me today that the May bank holiday special has 2 other funsters booked, so I’m looking forward to meeting up with them.
Check out the last post I made (Feb 10th) and see if it may suit other funsters if they haven’t made any plans for the Bank Holiday.

Is there a bus? They must know you are suggesting this site to motorhome owners. Why are English campsite owners so secretive about public transport?

 

[Jimbo50]

@ctc If you had a look at the original post back in February there was a full description of local services, bus routes etc. No secrecy I can assure you from the owners of the site.
I’m looking forward to finding out which ‘Funsters’ have already booked

£30 bank holiday weekend sounds like a good deal unless I'm missing something. Sadly it's an adult only site and at the moment a no go.

 

[Jimbo50]

@movan now I know its not you that have booked. So I’ve only another 33,982 Funsters to guess who’s coming down to the site. Lol

 

[Robert Clark]

Have you added the site to Campercontact?

[Jimbo50]

Thanks @Robert Clark I’m not sure if the owners have added it to Campercontact, but I’ll pass on your recommendation

What is max Moho Size , as access looks "interesting " ? @Jimbo50

It needs to be on their website.
But it looks an interesting alternative to say Portscatho but it is only a few pounds cheaper per night and has no facilities and isn't beside the sea. But I wish them luck with this new venture. I think they need to be a bit more flexible on departure and leaving times and the threat of a £25 "fine" for dog fouling is of questionable legality. How are they going to enforce it? They can't.

@tacr2man Site been accessed by 20t trucks hauling road hardcore. Not sure regards limit on MH’s but I’m told RV’s no problem.

Maybe if visitors agree to the owners charging £25 on booking, for collecting their doggy poop it’s not a fine as such, just a clearly described service charge.

Agree, how can anyone be off a site by 11, that's breckies time. It's things like that that really puts me off sites.
On a sensible camper stop in Spain a couple of weeks ago, leaving time was 8pm, I managed that.

 

[Jimbo50]

@Lenny HB Fully agree with all you say.
Problems that rear their ugly head nowadays from “Council Planning departments”. They stipulate conditions of site entry and exit times, on site owner and to state these times on website or they wont grant permission.

That’s typical checkout time in a hotel

Just shows us that we're not that welcome here in UK. Councils would much rather have hoteliers than motorhomers hence all the conditions placed on everything from planning conditions for someone trying to set up a MH site to height restrictions on car park entrances

That's why I have a Motorhome.

That's rediculaus, if someone is staying more than one night they can come and go at anytime of day so why have restrictions on booking in and out.

Yep, they drive us away, I do 4 or 5 nights in the UK and 100 to 130 abroad. Would love to do more in the UK but can't be bothered with the hassle.

Eleven oclock leaving is fine by us. We usually leave earlier than that if we are travelling so we can arrive at the next destination early afternoon.

But not before 15:00.

A link to that post would be useful to save searching?

 

[Jimbo50]

@Bailey58 thanks for your comment. I’m wasn’t sure how to create a link, more learning needed for me!!

 

[Bailey58]

Here you go.

[Jimbo50]

@Bailey58 “Fantastic” Help!! How did you do it please?

 

[bobandjanie]

Looks nice priced well but it does get me when your paying £2 a day for the dog, and the arrival and departure times would put me off.
Even with our apartment our cleaner is very flexible on letting people come early and stay later depending on when the next guest is arriving. Bob

 

[Ivory55]

I appreciate nobody forces you to use a particular site but I must admit when it’s plus this and plus that it does put me off a bit. I much prefer just to see the price.

I was hoping someone else would tell you @Jimbo50 as it's easier to do it than describe it.

Go to the address bar of the link you want to save, in this case:

https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/new-touring-park-in-cornwall.169647/

Put you mouse pointer at the beginning of the address, left click and drag to highlight the whole address (it will be in blue), let go of the mouse leaving the address highlighted, and press Control and C on your keyboard to copy it.
That is: CTRL and C

Go back to your post and using something in your text i.e. Here or new touring park and highlight it in the same way then click on the chain (link, gettit?) in the menu of icons at the top of your post. This will bring up a box with a URL space where you can now past that address you copied. This time you can use CTRL + V to paste or simply right click in the space and choose Paste from the options.

Edit: Just to confuse you further a web address will usually show up as a link in it's own right without any magic as did the address of your February post but it is good to know how to do a link something else.

Hi Rob @Bailey58 thanks for the info. I'll give it a try the next time I need to do it

Hi @Jimbo50
You will be pleased to know it will be us that are joining you at the site. Looking at it I think it sounds a like a bargain, a fully serviced hard standing pitch with water and waste for £15 per night. I know there are no showers or toilets at the moment, but there are probably lots like us who have the facilities on board and happy to use them where water and waste are on every pitch. I know the area quite well and where it is situated I know the views will be fantastic and it will be peaceful. It's also situated between my two favourite places Truro and Falmouth. Always up for supporting a brand new venture. Look forward to seeing you there. Take care.
