We're currently on a 10 night stay on a club, members only site, when we booked we wanted a service pitch but two nights (Saturdays) of our stay were unavailable so we booked a standard pitch. The large majority of the service pitches here have stood empty apart from the weekends, meaning that the club are losing out on the extra revenue that people like us would have provided, it's bloody frustrating. Surely a minimum stay would prevent this. Once set up, I didn't fancy moving twice!

Have you ever considered how much pollution is washed annually from our roads into our streams. Tons and tons of rubber, oil, diesel, petrol, litter and as well as detergent from millions of cars washed on the street.

MA where road drains empty in water courses they are fitted with traps to filter the run off

Not always. We live on a main road. At the end of our service road the run off from the road goes into a gutter drains and straight into a ditch which feeds into a water course. I know there is nothing else from the drain to the ditch from when they investigated the water not flowing away.

Not all rural campsites have mains drainage piped into sewage works.

A few I’ve been on have a specifically designated ‘dumping’ area and instruction as to how to ensure we are as non polluting and damaging as possible. If they don’t then it’s our responsibility to be environmentally friendly.
