UK Campsites are Filling Up (1 Viewer)

[lorger]

Please, please, please don't pick Maragowan!

Might just pick it out of spite

 

[Podney]

You could try the site I’m on. I have a seasonal pitch here in sunny Narfuk.

That sounds interesting thank you. Could you please tell me how far away from the sea is it?
Thanks.

Just to put another slant on this ,booked up thing,
I have just looked on this site and they appear to have vacancies all year.
Nothing to do with me but worth a look if you are stuck.

Good call chaser l had a look, quiet site, Peak District, fair price, so booked a couple of nights at the end of May so I can ride my bike.
It looks like they have a few spaces throughout the next few months.

I have spent many days on aires that are as good as some UK campsites at fraction of the price.

The assumption that all aires are carparks is totally wrong.

Which aire is this?

After hearing all the prophesies about problems getting into sites, for the first time ever we've booked sites ahead of setting off. After a few failed attempts at getting sites near the sea, we looked inland with more luck. As we live on an island we don't really need to be by the sea but prefer to be. However, we found plenty of lovely places and now realise we probably miss out by not exploring inland. So we're off on 12th April and keeping everything crossed that nothing happens to stop us it's going to be very different from our usual approach of meandering about where our fancy takes us but we're just sooooooooo happy to be able to get going

I spent several years boating and got to know many coastal areas. It was only after I sold my last boat and bought a motorhome I realised how much there was to see and visit inland.

 

[Robert Clark]

If we all booked in that way Robert we’d be b******d! Can’t help thinking it’s a bit selfish. No doubt others will disagree.

How dare you infer that I’m selfish

You don’t know anything about me or my situation

Isn’t it the case that lots of people book on CMC sites but never turn up,or cancel nearer the booking time?

People do cancel nearer the booking time if the weather forecast for that time looks grim.

There are many to be found like this, all over mainland Europe.

Warning! It should be noted that this Aire has a bridge limit of 3.5 tonnes to access it according to one of the reviews?

Can't say I noticed that, but we're under 3.5 anyway.

In the pictures from the link a tag axle thingy can clearly be seen, over 3.5 I'd think.

If this weekend is anything to go by we wont be allowed out on the 12th. Mothers day mixing and supermarkets rammed to the rafters infection rate bound to increase. I hope not but think its inevitable.

 

[Pelirocco]

Apart from medical equipment, I can't see why there is anyone who couldn't manage a couple of nights without any other sort of power than the leisure battery.
And the addition of a solar panel would mean that would extend to a week.

Because we don't want to " manage " ? And prefer the easy option

The infections might rise and probably will after the schools opened this week but with the vaccine the numbers falling seriously ill are expected to plummet - it seems to happening already.

The infection rate will increase without a doubt but the daily death figures and hospital admissions remain low . Are you aware of how well the vaccine roll out is working ?

 

[Langtoftlad]

Hence the 5 week gap... gives the scientific bods a chance to see what effect the easing of each restriction has before allowing the next...
Dates aren't fixed, they're "no earlier than"

We 'manage' and have the easy option at the same time... with no EHU.

 

[Simon Meadwell]

Fully aware of the vaccine doing well and more aware of the complete lack of social distancing and supermarkets full to overflowing off the back of the vaccine doing so well people have given up and dont care thats what my comments were based on.

You're right, this seems to be happening.

I actually think that’s positive if people are mixing as much as you say and still only 52 deaths today . That’s amazing to think we are starting to get back to normal will soon be able to mix with friends and family without putting any extra strain on the NHS
Brilliant

Trouble is that the effects of today's lax attitude to SD & mixing, won't show up for at least two weeks.

"Only" 52 deaths are the result of lockdown.
We still have a week before we'll know what the March 8th return to school will have on infection rates... and probably a couple of weeks after that before any changes feed through to hospitalisation and deaths.

So vaccination & the drop in deaths is fantastic news... it's still a couple of weeks until we see if its enough.

 

[bilM]

It won't come as a surprise I suspect but if anyone has plans to use any UK campsites this year they need to book soon.

Just booked two campsites in Scotland today and will book some more tomorrow seems to be lots of spaces one is East coast one is West coast.
