Camping Club?

I agree with Takethedogalong that on most sites the number of tents is very small and from what I have seen the take up is very poor. I suspect most tent campers simply do not expect the Caravan Club to take tents and on some sites they seem to get the bit the club did not want for members and feel distinctly second class.

I think it varies with location. At Morvich the take up is fairly high, with over half the 10 pitches occupied on most of the nights we spent their. In general it was small back pack tents, and had little impact on the facilities for the majority, as they were generally off early.

Slightly off topic......but why are we perfectly happy to chat while waiting for a loo or shower.......but would never dream of doing so while occupying the cubicle?

Just a thought.......

i find it odd that those with modern vans and 'palatial' washrooms dont use them....and visit public toilet blocks instead.

i find it more odd that these folk are further prepared to stand around and queue for the privilege......

....and the. we can all have a nice chat while waiting...

.."oh Hi, what are you upto today?.."

"...Im just queuing here for a bit as we have a 'no solids policy' in our van...."

"....yes, we have a new van with a lovely shower, too, but we have a 'no water policy'....in it...."

"....looks like rain, hope theyre not too long in there...."

OK, im jesting but you know......

Mind how you go.....

I can, to a degree, understand those that have "broom cupboard" washrooms using the block but when you have a large end bathroom I do wonder why they bothered with such a big van.

 

Whatever next?  Will we see people turning up in a converted double-deck bus for their Summer Holiday?

And singing as they go.

Good gracious no! We can't have happy people on our sites enjoying themselves or CT would become redundant.

CY, I'm no expert but I think it's called 'personal choice', i think folk choose what they like/prefer pay for it then enjoy it. Freaky I know but it seems to go that way. I also think that those who  use the 'personal choice' thing tend not to take into consideration what others think they should do. We live in a crazy world

We have a 'broom cupboard' toilet / shower compartment and using the shower would soak everything.

If / when we get our next caravan, it will have an end bathroom and I will use the shower.....promise!

(Incidently, back on the wash room conversations, last year in France in a mixed sex facility, I remember sitting there listening to a French couple having a very vocal conversation over the partition. Distracted me from my reading, the noisy beggers! )

We have a good sized washroom and seperate shower on the van. The shower is generally used when on a no facility site. I usually go between 6.30 and 7am if I want to use the site shower. Why? 

Somebody else cleans them!  

We usually use the site facilities on sites that have them, we use the van facilities on sites that don't and on CLs, as to the mix of tents caravans and motorhomes I couldn't care less. We have had all three over the years as our circumstances have changed and enjoyed them all.
