Saw the same article. The more I read, the more im put off going anywhere....Sounds like it's going to be bedlam wherever we go.
Apart from the places in the WC POI, and the official Campsites, there are lots of other possibilities.Don’t be put off. I think it will be like last year with some places very busy, but there will still be lots of places away from the crowds.
Hopefully, as I will be selling my Zebra Campervan as soon as it comes back from having the brakes revampedAs you know, we just sold ours and got about £5K more than I was offered by the same dealer two years ago
Good time to sell
I should add that I am only selling the Camper as I now also have a MotorhomeHopefully, as I will be selling my Zebra Campervan as soon as it comes back from having the brakes revamped
And crowds dont have much imagination so they will all head for the same hotspots they saw on countryfile etc so they can get away from it all... togetherDon’t be put off. I think it will be like last year with some places very busy, but there will still be lots of places away from the crowds.
Yes we love to wild camp Trev but might be a bit guarded about telling too many others about our favourite spots.Most folk who stop and talk to me always say which campsites do you go to and where, look puzzled when i tell them i wild and have never been in one as yet.
Following record sales I hope that the influx of new motorhomers wont result in a backlash of further height restrictions on car parks and more "no overnight parking" signage etc. Last summer did see many more people take to camping in general. There was definitely an increase in litter, damaged trees, firepits and even abandoned camping gear.
There are more restrictions in UK than in mainland Europe as it is.Wwe should try to encourage fellow motorhomers (new and old) to respect the communities and environment that we enjoy visiting.
I fear that some people (probably a minority) may spoil our freedoms by bad behaviour. I think if we witness it we should try to engage and encourage better behaviours.
Marie. Even in your area the councils are starting to move a bit in our direction. When the NE group of CAMpRA started last year they were just coming up against brick walls. Its all down to positive letters and emails being sent to councils and businesses. We are not demanding we are suggesting ideas of places which could be good parkups, where we are banned at present.The CampRA campaign has been battling on all those negative fronts since it was first set up last year and is having some success across the UK. As with all things in life, how good the response has been very much depends on the local/regional councils and how willing they are to listen and embrace new ideas.
It's OK Trevor, I used to have a problem being allowed on campsites tooMost folk who stop and talk to me always say which campsites do you go to and where, look puzzled when i tell them i wild and have never been in one as yet.
