If not already seen this is the para relating to shared facilities.

I cannot see the government changing this policy guidance.....for starters some poor CS would have to rewrite 'Step 2' and re issue. 

Additional premises will be able to reopen but should only be visited alone or with household groups: non-essential retail; personal care premises such as hairdressers, salons and close contact services; and indoor leisure facilities such as gyms and spas (but not including saunas and steam rooms, which are due to open at Step 3). Overnight stays away from home in this country will be permitted and self-contained accommodation - those that do not require shared use of bathing, entry/exit, catering or sleeping facilities - can also reopen, though must only be used by members of the same household. The Government will open public buildings such as libraries and community centres. Activities such as driving tests may also resume.

Is it true that in Wales sites are to open from 29th March? I have just read that a CC member has booked a pitch, through the club's booking service, on the Brecon Beacon site from that date!!

We managed about 50 nights away last year, about 35% of normal usage, and never used a communal facility once. No need to.

Can't see what the problem is in using your own. We'll do the same this year and it may take some time before we do use a facility on a campsite again. If it's the difference between opening campsites or leaving them shut then it's really an obvious choice, although I'm sure the CAMC will open sites but close blocks if needed to.

I was speaking to a site in Scotland today and the owner., whose site is in the BHHA said he had had a round robin stating that sites in Wales to open on 29th.March. Haven't seen anything on local news yet but then again I've been busy doing other things. 

So looks like ti Nellie.

I haven't looked at English travel restrictions so don't know if you will be able to use them until 12th.April.

You should be able to travel from England to Wales after 29 March when the England "Stay at Home" restriction ends. Do not be put off by the "Stay Local" mantra. That is purely guidance, with no legal enforcement.
